Trip to Chatham Public Library

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!

Spell-a-thon

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).
