Bonjour,
Reminders:
Orange T-shirt Day tomorrow in honour of the survivors of Residential Schools. (Handout to be given tomorrow with the story behind Orange T-shirt Day as we discussed today in class)
Terry Fox Run tomorrow and end of Cops for Cancer Fundraiser
Devoirs:
Anglais: DRAFT ONLY of diamond poem due Monday. Please have a rough draft of your diamond poem complete.
Maths: We worked on four review questions (multiplying decimal numbers by a two-digit number) as well as three problem solving questions. We will have a final review on Monday followed by a QUIZ on Tuesday.
For those still struggling with this concept, please do a minimum of two questions a day as extra practice. Make up the questions (e..g 425,68 x 24), check with a calculator and redo the question if you get it wrong.
Questions to ask yourself if your answer is incorrect:
Did you put down a zero before multiplying your second digit? Did you carry your tens properly or did you skip a number? Did you make a multiplication or adding error? Did you line up your columns properly so you can easily see what numbers you need to add together to get your final answer? Did you put the decimal in the right spot?
Math is like a second language, you will only get better and more confident by DOING it! Repetition, repetition, repetition : )!
A lundi,
Mme Couture

Bonjour,
Just a reminder to please ensure you have PE strip for Monday.
Also, we are getting started on our academic subjects now and it is very important that students have their binder with subject dividers as soon as possible so that handouts can go with the appropriate subjects. Organization becomes very important as students have more than one teacher for academic subjects and need to be able to easily find their assignments.
Immunization forms can be submitted to Carol in the office along with the other forms that were sent home this Monday (permission forms, parent contact information etc.).
Anglais: Students should be finished Pages 1 & 2 from our review (how to use a dictionary, capitalization in English).
Maths: Look over vocabulary review. We will be doing our diagnostic math assessment over the next couple of days to see where students are at as we start up the year.

Bonjour,
Hello and welcome to my class blog. This is a space where I post information for students and parents regarding upcoming due dates for assignments and projects as well as reminders for upcoming events at the school (e.g. picture day, field trips, forms that are due etc.).
Although classes and assignments are in French I usually post on the blog in English to ensure that parents also understand.
Today I will be handing out my introduction letter to students and will have them put the blog address on the handout. I really encourage the students to take it upon themselves to check the blog daily.
Devoirs:
Students will be getting a large info package today with forms that parents need to check over for accuracy and update (information regarding residence and phone numbers). There are some other forms as well. Students are to return the forms TO THE OFFICE at their earliest convenience.
Students will be needing to bring their supplies in the next couple of days (one binder with subject dividers, pencils, pens, felts, pencil crayons, scissors, calculator and geometry set, lined paper, erasers).
Students will also need to bring PE strip including a change of shorts or stretchy leggings/sweat pants, a change of shirt, gym shoes and deodorant (may not be needed now but usually necessary by the end of the year). Please no heavily scented deodorants or any spray deodorants. We have PE Monday and Tuesday and Fitness studio on Fridays. Please ensure that students have their PE strip for next Monday's PE class at the latest.
Parents should be getting their "assignment" today (Tell me all about your child in a million words or less). The more I know about each student, the better able I am to meet their learning needs and help them feel at home in the class and at school. I really appreciate any information that parents are willing to share with me.
Have a great afternoon!
