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.
