​Hi there grade 5 families!

Thank you to everyone who test drove a Nissan on Saturday - I liked the SUV - how about you? We apprecaite your support.​ Here are the reminders and important updates for this week:

• Reading 15 minutes per night in French - Please use the online link (https://www.readinga-z.com/worldlanguages/french/leveled-books/) with your child or ask them for their two books from the classroom. Reading daily in the target language greatly increases fluency in learners
  
• Practice basic math facts (addition or subtraction) using Xtra-math or flash cards or this wonderful site: https://www.logicieleducatif.fr/math/numeration/nombreschiffres.php
