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

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.
