Hello Parents!

Today the students started off their morning with Gym. Following that, we took up our lesson 7 math homework, and then I introduced lesson 8 (Calculating the Area of a Rectangle). We went through examples on the whiteboard, and then students were free to complete their math textbook work. After math, two grade 6 students came to our classroom to do a presentation on their exhibition topic. They shared a powerpoint, and had the students engage in a debate. Then, the students headed out for lunch.

Once lunch was done, the students had Music, and then we had Novel Study. They shared their journal entries, and then we read Chapter 5 as a class. We got ready for second break, and then the students had French right after. When they got back to class, they filled out their agendas, and I handed out their Spring Fundraiser packages. These forms will be due on Wednesday, April 19^th.

Just a few important notes before I go:

1.       Math: Lesson # workbook homework P# 140-141. The Unit 9 math test will be on Tuesday, April 18^th.

2.       Novel Study: read chapter 5 and write a corresponding journal entry.

3.       The Spring Fundraiser forms were sent home today, and they will be due on Wednesday, April 19^th. The pledge forms will be due on Friday, April 28^th.

4.       TOMORROW (Wednesday, April 12^th) Mme. Stella is taking the students on their French trip. They will leave around 11:30am, and will return around 2:00pm.

5.       Thursday, April 13^th is Easter Spirit Day, so students are encouraged to dress up in an Easter related outfit!

6.       There will be NO SCHOOL on Friday, April 14^th, and Monday, April 17^th, as it is Easter Long Weekend.

7.       Spring Uniforms can be worn, starting on Tuesday, April 18^th.

8.       Friday, April 21^st is Earth Day, and students are encouraged to dress up in Earth colours.

9.       Due to the amount of lost items, the school is promoting iron-on name labels! They cost $5.00 for 15 labels- I can provide the order form, if you are interested!

That pretty much sums it up for today. I hope everyone has a wonderful night!
