Hello Families,
A few pieces of housekeeping before we move on to the homework:
*Ferme des Voltigeurs Fundraising campaign ends this week. Please send in your orders for Thursday the 22nd. The funds collected go to activities for all the students, but also pay for the Graduations T-Shirts our class will receive. Thank you for your help!
*The holiday show permission form is also due this Wednesday. This outing is part of the Arts program and we look forward to having all the students participate.
*Friday is a pedagogical day - if you need childcare, please contact the office.
Homework:
Math: continuing with division and calculation of decimals, it is very important that all students us the Reflex Math app several times a week to help them develop fluency in their calculations. There will be a short calculation test this week as well as continuing work with word problems (green duotang and JUMP math book)
Social Science: Students have their first test in their backpacks to be signed by a parent, and corrections are due Thursday. We are using this work as an opportunity to strengthen study skills while learning about Quebec Society around 1980 (orange duotang)
Science: Students began in class a comprehension exercise that they will need to complete at home for Thursday (purple duotang and text on iPad)
Language Arts: Students should spend 15 to 20 minutes per night reading in the novel they chose from the class library. Students also have their first response in their blue duotang - to be signed by a parent.
Have a lovely week!

Week of October 5th
Hello Families,
* A special note - we have a family with hamsters to give away to a good home. Please email me if you are interested.*
In math this week we will be moving on to the study of decimals and decimal computation. You can expect one or two pages of homework each night in the JUMP math exercise book, and students are asked to write the date at the top of the page and fold the corner to find the page more easily when the get home.
In Social Sciences we are combining our study of the economy in Quebec with an investigation of the coming federal election. Students can use the Pollenize app to get more information on each party. The homework this week is to study Adventure 1, focusing on the sector of the economy each team was asked to read to find the main ideas and details. This work will be shared with the class Wednesday and an evaluation of the concepts in Adventure 1 will follow at the end of the week.
For our Science class Wednesday students are to bring in photos they have taken (using the iPad)
of cloud formations.
If you have not yet done so, please review and sign the class Technology Code of Conduct, found inside your child's ERC duotang.
Students should be using the apps
Reflex ( 3 times a week)
RAZ Kids ( twice a week)
* students without an Internet connection at home can borrow A-Z books instead.
Home-reading: some students have not changed their book since borrowing it at the beginning of last month. If they aren't reading it, please send it back: we have plenty of others from which they can choose.
Fundraising information comes home Monday - please check your child's bag.
