January 28th - February 1st

This is the last week of term and several units end, meaning end of term evaluations are here! Taking things one step at a time, remind your child to review a little each night ( and not 'cram') and to practice what they know how to do.

Math: quizlets (my word for mini quizes) on geometry concepts and skills studied up until last week, and some short word problems reviewing concepts studied over terms 1 and 2. Some practice will come home each night.

Social Studies: end of unit test on Changes to Modern Quebec Society from 1905 to 1980. In particular, focus on the use (and location) of natural resources, changes to the public sector (and more especially education and healthcare), famous Quebeckers, and tying together how changes made over the last century affect how we live today. Test Thursday.

Reading: great reading comprehension work last week - the class average was 88%!
Reading response organizer on "Owl Trouble" due tomorrow and we will complete the response in class. Review notes on previous responses for more details on how to improve.

Scholastic due February 1st

Read every night, please.

Have a productive week,
Kathy Napier
