This week in learning:

Social Studies: We vote on Thursday Oct 12th. While I was away today, students were asked to research the candidates for mayor and the councilors in their ward. If they did not get enough time to do so, maybe just having a look at the profiles together with you , so they can make an informed decision as to whom to vote for.

ELA: we continue reading and comprehension questions for Vermeer. We will correct the question for chapters 9-12 tomorrow.
I will also be going over the "how to" write a newspaper article.

FLA: finishing the movie "Hoodwinked" for French oral comprehension and working on their comic books. 

MATH: test for module 2 is Thursday the 12th of Oct. We will begin Module 1 as well this week. During the in-service today, it was re-iterated how important it is that students know their basic facts for + - x and division. Please, please, please continue to review them if your child is weak. Play games with cards, or online, or flashcards. Whatever works for them. 

Music: projects should have been shared with me, however I have only received 3 to date. If your child has not done so, please remind them to email or share on Google learn account.

Religion: We were instrumental in gathering 19 boxes of food for Feed the Hungry at St Luke church and we received a beautiful thank you from the organizer, including how special the cards were for the recipients. This week we will look at what it means to be a light.
