I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend J This Thursday is Parents Night. Friday is a ped. day. The report card will be sent home that afternoon. Mme Guindi and I will be seeing parents in the gym from 4:30 – 7:30pm. We are sending requests for the parents we would like to see. If you did not receive a request, but would like to meet with us, please fill in the coupon sent home Friday. We will do our best to fit you in. We are also available to contact you by phone during the day if you prefer. Just write a note in the agenda as to when would be the best time to reach you.

* Scholastic is due Wednesday *

The marks found on Edmodo can give you an idea of what you can expect on the report card next week. Keep in mind the average found is simply for those graded activities and tests. It does not include their class work, group/class participation and homework.

*Each Monday, we will be working on a new Problem Solving strategy. Please use the problems we work on in class to as additional practice. Just change the numbers! There will be a short Problem Solving Quiz after each topic is covered. This week is Draw a Picture in the Problem Solving book. I will give practice questions in class this week and there will be a quiz on Monday November 25.*
*PLEASE SIGN THE BEHAVIOUR CHART IN THE AGENDA EVERY WEEKEND*
