​Hello families,

What a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend we had!  I hope you all had time to spend some quality time together with family and friends.  Here are the important items and updates for this week:​

• Reading 15 minutes per night in French - practice makes progress! Students can choose their books in class or they can read online on a site such as Reading A-Z: https://www.readinga-z.com/worldlanguages/french/leveled-books/
  
• Practicing basic addition/subtraction facts (Using Xtra-math.org or Logiciel Educatif: https://www.logicieleducatif.fr/math/numeration/nombreschiffres.php, or flash cards)
• This week students are being asked to choose a leader they would like to present for their end-unit project. The will have some time to do a bit of research and will be expected to write a paragraph explaining what makes them a leader. Students are welcome to choose someone related to their interests (musicians, actors, athletes, artists, etc) but should ensure they demonstrate a variety of leadership qualities (resilience, courage, positivity, etc) and can explain how they have had a positive impact on their community. 
• We will be collecting toonies for the Purple Pinkies for Polio Campaign until October 19th. A donation of just $2 can provide the vaccine for a child in an at-risk country.
• Tuesday is the last day to send in picture orders.
• Please return all library books to exchange on Tuesday.
• Wednesday our school will be voting to elect our Student Council President. Best of luck to all of the candidates!
