Forgot to mention about Halloween treats!
You're welcome to send in treats for the class on Friday, should you choose. As usual, they must be nut-free. We have 21 students in our class.

Hi folks!
Students are working hard at their French and English reading. Keep going over word cards and guided reading books at home daily for homework. Awesome job!
A few things on the go....
- Wednesday: we plan to walk downtown to the pumpkin walk for a literacy activity with Mme Prince's class. We will also be going to the public library. Remember library cards! Please help your child choose appropriate clothing for the weather. If it's pouring, we will cancel.
- Thursday: we will be going to JMH in the morning to watch our grade 5 students in their Blacklight show!
- Friday: the school will be having Halloween celebrations. Costumes are for Friday! Any make-up is to be put on at home. No masks or props permitted at school.
Have a great week!

Hi folks!
Here's a few highlights of our busy classroom:
1. October Challenge: A bright orange page has been sent home with some English word problems and Math facts. This is an optional activity and mirrors what we are completing in class. For students who bring it back by October 31st, they will have their name put into a draw for a prize. Again, this is optional but also a good opportunity to see what we are up to in our Math class.
2. Sport Activities: Please note that afterschool activities such as cross-country and soccer are coming to a close this week. Congrats to all participants and their support teams for getting them to practices and games/meets! You did it!
3. Skating: Our class skating dates are Wednesday, November 2nd and Wednesday, November 30th. We are on the ice from 9-10am both days. A memo will be going home today regarding skates and helmets. Please sign and return. Volunteers are welcome to come tie skates and join in the fun!
4. Homework: Please continue to have your child read in English and French alternately for 10-20 minutes each night. Their guided reading books go home and return each day, along with their French word packs.
5. Halloween & Black Light: More information about these to come! Yes, treats are allowed to be sent in for the students. The exact "rules" on that will be sent home shortly. We have 21 students in our class.
All for now! Phew!

Hi Folks!
Reminder that guided reading French & English books, along with their practice words are to be sent back to school each day. We "work" these books for approximately a week before swapping them out. Students are moving along nicely!
Heads up that our class will be going skating twice in the month of November. May be a good time to size feet and helmets. A memo will go home closer to the date.
Lastly, we have a few guests coming in and out of our class. Mme Andrée-Anne works with the class Mondays-Thursdays on French oral proficiency and small reading groups. She is with our class for about an hour each day. Miss Erin comes in through Big Brothers Big Sisters to teach the SNAP program. This is aimed at having children to stop and think before they react. This week is Fire Prevention week. The firefighters plan to come in and do a presentation on Friday too.

Book orders were sent home last week. You can order and view online through Scholastics Canada. Our class code is: RC198054. There's free shipping for order $50+. If you have a bookorder, you're welcome to send in the correct amount (plus tax) and pool our orders together. If there aren't enough orders, I simply send it home. Worth a shot to save some money! Orders due to the class by October 13th.

Guided reading books have gone home today in both English and French. These two books will be sent home and returned each day along with their French word ring. Homework is to read each night for 10-20 minutes alternating English and French. Books will be exchanged weekly.
There is an orange sheet that explains their reading levels. Attached to it are white sheets with sample questions etc that you can ask your child. This package can stay home. Any questions, just shout out!

The Terry Fox walk will be next Wednesday, September 28th. Grade 3 students will be walking with Mme Prince's grade 3s @9:20-10am. Grade 4 students will be walking with me and the other grade 4s @10-11am. Parents/guardians are welcome to join. Donations are encouraged (online or cash). Thanks in advance for your support!

Homework begins tonight! Each student will go home with a pack of word cards. These cards are specific to them. They are to read them each night and bring them back to school each day. We will be adding word cards throughout the year. Guided reading books will begin this week too! Please have students read their book for 10-20 minutes each night in French or English (alternating). I'm still testing in English so it may be a little longer for you to see those book home.

TOMORROW (Wednesday, September 21st) 3/4 Robichaud *plans* to go to the Chatham Public Library for a morning visit. We will be walking there. Right now, the weather doesn’t look great but please dress appropriately. If it’s downpouring, we won’t go.
Students are WELCOME to bring their own library card to check out a book or two. If your child does not have a card and would like to sign up for one, we can bring an application home for a future visit. Library cards are FREE!

Bonjour!
Student have been doing GREAT at getting our routines down pat and getting back into the swing of entire days in French. So impressed! They work hard each day for points of free time or special adventures. Next week we are hoping to take a walk to the public library for a visit, weather depending. Students are welcome to take a book out with their library card, if you allow it. A note will be sent home in the next few days.
Reminders for this week
Tuesday (tomorrow) is our Meet the Teacher night at King Street from 6:30-7:30pm. You're welcome to join if you'd like.
Wednesday is our Picture Day.
All for now!

Me again!
The Spell-a-thon test is this Friday. We did a practice test in class today so they'd know which words give them the most grief. It's in their homework folder. Hope this helps! We will continue to practice in class tomorrow (Thursday).

Welcome to Tuesday May 10th!
Spelling Bee is on Friday. Everyone has their list and should practice some at home. We practice daily at school too.
"Mme Bianka" is our French Language Helper and has been working in our class for about 1 hour/day all year. Her last day is the end of May and she is expecting a baby girl! If you could send in $2/child we plan to get a gift card from the students.
Finally, we have a few field trips planned for June. We are hoping to keep costs down as much as possible but keep the fun up! Just wanted to give a heads up that they are on their way.
As always, any questions, feel free to reach out.
