1.  Math multiplication drills- pls sign and rtrn.  There are about 8 students who are still not scoring 25 or more out of 30 during the 2.5 minute drill.  This makes difficult multiplication and the upcoming division WAY harder for them, and they will tend to slip further behind in Math.  There is nothing you can do more for your child's self esteem in Math than help them learn their times tables. We practise at school and there is a group that leaves for times tables practice twice per week.  But, the best way is for kids to be asked aloud at home repetitively.  Thank you for continuing to practise!!!

2.  Cans and candy for food Bank- optional- thanks!

3.  Coloring contest of Frankie- due Friday by 8:30 AM.

4.  Multiplication test- single digit by 2, 3 and 4 digit numbers, including some decimals.  Monday- study.  Page 75 for gr. 5 and page 133 for grade 5s due Friday AM-lots of time given in class today.

5.  Snacks for Halloween party- pls send in by 10:00.  We will eat leftovers Monday.  Thanks for your support.
