Gr.41 Sept. 3-6

Group 41

Please check the first blog entry for September if you haven’t already done so.

Tonight the students are bringing home their Prism book and Language Power. Please ensure they are labeled on the front cover. They will be stored in my classroom during French week.

Please use the EDMODO link on my blog to learn about this wonderful educational site I am using with my students. By Friday, all students will be able to log in from home and you will find a PARENT CODE on their page. Use it to join my class and you will have access to your child’s progress behaviourally and academically. You only have access to your child’s progress to ensure privacy.

For those who haven’t, read through the agenda this weekend. Fill in the student information area. Go over the rules with your child. Sign all the appropriate areas. Thank you!
