Homework for the (short) week of November 22nd

Hello Families,

This morning the CSSS Nurse assigned to our school gave grade five a short first aid course. If you have a look at the booklet your child will be bringing home today you will get an idea of what they learned.

As a result of this course, we did not have a math class today. The only homework for tonight is to write a short (short=1 page double spaced) text about a time the student injured themselves. This will be due tomorrow in class.

Math problem solving will come home tomorrow, and the only homework for the long weekend will be to read.

Please remember that Parents' Night it Wednesday. Your interview time will be sent home from the school secretary, who coordinates the interview schedule. I look forward to seeing you and having the chance to discuss your child's progress!

Have a wonderful week,
Kathy Napier
