Week of September 23

LA - Everyone should have handed in their narrative writings (stories) this past Friday. 

We've got a new wordwork sheet, lesson #4, which is due Friday.  Our wordwork this year is focussing on word parts - prefixes, roots, and suffixes.  This will help students to have a base knowledge to attack new words they come across for the rest of their lives!

All students have started working on a book commericial - a short (3-5 minute) presentation about a book they have finished reading this year.  They'll tell us the basics - who is in it, when and where does it take place - as well as why it's great and why we should all read it.  They will also share a short excerpt (30 seconds to one minute of reading aloud) that shows what a great book it is.

A flier has gone home about subscribing to Owl magazine.  We're getting it at a discount, so if it's something you're interested in, now is a great time to sign up!

Math - please keep practicing multiplication facts.  Some of us are a bit rusty!

Reminders - Some students have decided to join the peer mediator program here at school, those forms need to be in by Wednesday.

Picture orders (or retake requests) are due Wednesday as well.

A permission slip for the cross country meet in Nackawic on Friday, October 4th, has gone home.  Please have these back by Wednesday, Oct 2nd, at the latest.  Students will need to bring snacks / lunch and drinks with them, and be dressed appropriately for running outside!
