February 18th-22nd

Hello Families,

This week you can expect the report card to come home. Please sign and return the envelop only to acknowledge receipt.

In the second term, students do much more self-reflection and write comments and complete assignments for their portfolio. I believe that this work is often very enlightening, as students have a great deal to say about their own progress, successes and challenges. I hope you will be able to join us for Portfolio Night in March.

Math: work with Ratios in JUMP 6.2, as well as revision of concepts to date.

ELA: Reading Comprehension text on Chinese New Year,
          Paragraph editing on pages 52-53 in Writing exercise book
          Literature Circle reading determined Wednesday and for next week.

Social Sciences: please sign the unit test, and have corrections come back to school on Thursday. New mini-unit on immigration to begin this week.

Earth Day Tree Give-away: please return the blue sheet if you would like a sapling.

Caisse Scolaire deposits are due for Wednesday.

Have a wonderful week!
Kathy Napier
