A day late...November 26th-29th

Hello Families, 

This is a light homework week, with regular lessons being shelved to make room for experimentation on the ipad minis.

Please help me make sure your child has a working Apple ID and has downloaded the following apps:
RAZ Kids
Study
Showbie

Your child will need to experiment with the Showbie App, in which there is an assignment to help us explore this new assignment/feedback process (due Friday, but if there are problem please let me know before that!)

You child can also use RAZ Kids to help improve their reading comprehension.


Traditional assignments:

JUMP math pages on Fractions, 1 to 2 pages per night

Language Arts: Figurative Language work in dark blue doutang (1 page double sided)

Homereading, novel and/or RAZ kids

Paperwork: Christmas Field Trip permission slip, Report Card envelopes signed and returned, IEPs signed and returned (if applicable)

Scholastic: new flyers will come home this week, if you would like to order books for Christmas, please return the order for in a signed, sealed envelope with a note and I will call you when the books arrive.

The weather forecast calls for a snowstorm this week - if we have a snow day you can expect to hear new on 92.1 and on the sschool board website. I also found that MeteoMedia added us to one of their pages, youc an see it here:

Dear Families,

The Grade Six class has been offered a fundraising opportunity by Nathalie Theroux and the CCDS. On November 20th, during Parent-Teacher Interviews, we will be holding a Used Book Sale. Profits from that sale will go toward the end of year trip.

To staff the book sale we will need students from grade six to be present during the evening. I will be across the hall holding interviews, and we would need 2 students at a time in the classroom. I am asking that you allow your child to be present while you are attending interviews with your child(ren’s) teachers, collecting your Ferme des Voltigeurs order, and visiting the bookfairs taking place that night.  Once the interview schedule is set, we can make a schedule for the book sale as well.

Please sign the sheet that comes home with your child if your child can help with the book  sale Parent’s Night.

We are also accepting donations to the sale, which can be dropped off from Friday of this week. All unsold books will be given to the CCDS.
Thank you!

Kathy Napier
