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.

1. French quiz Thursday- we all studied with cue cards in class today. Bring home duotang to look over. Try to remember that a lot of your mark in French is for your oral participation, but quizzes and tests count as well. Spelling French words correctly does not count on tests, but it is a good idea to try to spell correctly.
2. Math test # 2 - adding and subtracting decimals- Thursday. Try to reinforce that numbers that seem like they do not have decimals really have the decimal at the end:
25 is really 25.0
3. Remembrance Day Poster Contest- working on it at home is optional right now.
4. Alliterations-try to have these "fixed" and ready for pictures by Thursday.
Some students have been very loud, screaming in the hallways during class time, whether they are going to the bathroom or finished work and heading out for a lap or 2. Yesterday, I had to tell the whole class that there was no more running for the day.
We will continue to do our laps as usual but there may be a couple kids who are not permitted for a few days. We need to respect other classes who are trying to work, especially if I allow students to get up and do laps throughout the day. Thanks for reinforcing this with your kids.
