Hello Families,
The annual Christmas Baskets are being filled and we are counting on your generosity to help provide D.E.S. families in need with a little extra this holiday season.
This week and next there will be less homework as we spend time on special holiday activities and outings. You will find details in the newsletter sent to your and your child's email.
This week, please remember there is a strike day this Wednesday. Hopefully it will be the last!
This week's assignments
Math: working with fractions, students will continue review in JUMP math at home and will be working on new skills and problem solving in class.
Music/response: students need to complete a response on the song of their choice from Annie for next Monday.
Social Science: the summative text on the first module will come home this week, along with the Places in Time text for the next unit (to be read over the next month).
Science: students should read the book "Energy Sources: Pros and Cons" for Friday
Music/Concert Preparation: students should memorize the lyrics to the songs we will be performing next week.
Have a wonderful week!

Hello Families,
This week I look forward to meeting with most of you for a progress meeting this Parents' Night.
Interview times went home today and report cards will follow tomorrow. In an effort to respect parents' time and the schedules of the other teachers, I will be attempting to keep the interviews to the scheduled 10 minutes. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Wednesday cycle 3 will be visiting RRHS to view a play about Remembrance Day. It should be an excellent opportunity to visit the school and view a dramatic work - thank you for returning permission slips quickly.
This week's homework:
Social Science sheet due Thursday
Math: pages in JUMP each night on the topics of Prime and Composite Numbers, factors, multiples, factor trees, and exponential notation. A quiz is coming up before we move on to fractions - it's a great time to review with your child.
Reflex math is a must - please have your child show you their pyramid - They should be fluent in all the multiplication tables.
ELA: A response rubric and the last completed response will come home to be signed.
Students will need to read the digital book Energy Resouces (our next topic in Science)
RAZ Kids should be used several times a week.
Have a wonderful week!
