May 27th-June 6th, Math Exam

Hello Families,

This year, for the first time, the dates for the MELS math exams are fixed and I must give the different parts of the test between today and June 7th (though since June 7th I must correct the exams in Magog, logic dictates that I finish administering them the 6th).

At this time of year many children are tempted to play outside until late, and sports practices can further push back bedtime. Please help your child get enough rest  - many are tired and silly.

In order to continue preparing for the test, students should do the assigned revision and use a calculator to check their work. Parents are asked to look over the revision work assigned, as there is not time in class for me to correct this homework. Thank you for your time and you assistance in helping your child do his or her best.

Wednesday we are taking part in Field Games Day, and students have a list of what they need in their agendas. Please remember to check the weather for Sherbrooke for that day, and to make sure your child is dressed appropriately. As well, they need a healthy lunch, good snacks, and plenty of liquid to stay hydrated. Sunscreen is very important as well.

Thank you for your help, and have a lovely week!

Exams this week, some revision work next week

Hello Families,

As mentioned in the letter about the Ministry Exams, there is little homework this week as students are working so hard during the day. They are doing very well, and I am proud of them.

Next week there will be the second part to the Social Sciences test given this Friday, and some revision work in math given as homework. Your child can revise math concepts using the websites on the blog, and calculation practice can be very beneficial before and during the different sections of the exam.

Enjoy the long weekend,
Kathy Napier
