We have a lot of uncertainty ahead of us this week; I'm sure we're all glued to the TDSB homepage waiting for news about tomorrow. While we wait, here's some info...
Marks for language project
Final marks were sent home last Thursday for the Grade 4 "Who Am I" project. Hopefully students have shared their slide show with you at home; their work is really amazing! I encourage you to talk about the rubric when you've seen their presentation in order to set goals moving forward and celebrate their successes. Everyone did a really lovely job; thank you for helping students better understand the history of their names. Signed rubrics are to come back to me ASAP.
Social Studies
Grade 5s are getting ready for the Federal election! They're looking closely at party platforms and assessing them against what's important to them and you, their families. My hope is that you'll take a bit of time to share the issues that are important to your family to help them assess candidates with a "real-life" lens. Perhaps education, immigration, childcare or the environment are on your political radars? Thanks for taking a bit of time to engage with them at home about the election.
Field Trip cancelation
While our valuable CUPE colleagues are negotiating contracts, we've had to cancel our upcoming field trip (October 22nd) to the Théâtre Français. Once job action settles down and we're back to "business as usual", we'll look at putting some trips on the calendar in the near future.
Homework
Math work was sent home with every student on Friday with a note attached, reminding you of my homework policy. This math work is optional; if you haven't already done so, please let me know if you'd like to participate in math work or not. Having said that, a friendly reminder that daily reading in French is mandatory; at least 20 minutes a day at home.
Thanksgiving
Next weekend is an extra long weekend with a PD day on Friday(11th) and Thanksgiving Monday(14th). Enjoy the 4 days off!
Wishing everyone a good week; bonne semaine!
