  Hello everyone!

Please find tonight's homework below....

Happy Hanukkah to all families who celebrate!!  While we always strive to keep homework to a minimum, please DO NOT worry about completing homework when it gets in the way of your celebrations.  Please see me if you have any concerns and I can support in making sure you don't feel like you fall behind on anything.  Enjoy your celebration!  

Food Drive - Until December 15th, we are collecting non-perishable food items for families who are in need.  Thank you for donating to this very important initiative!

Travelling Outside of Canada - If you or your family are planning to leave Canada over the winter break, please have your family contact the office to let them know.  There is a manadatory self-isolation period that is required after trips outside of the country.  Please contact the office if you have any questions.  Please also feel free to contact Mr. Carr and he will do his best to find out the answers to any questions.

Literacy - On slides 11 & 12 of THIS SLIDESHOW are the practice reading texts.  Please read each text OUT LOUD twice per night.  Remember...becoming a fluent reader is like becoming a fluent singer.  You practice familiar texts so that you know what good reading feels & sounds like.  This allows you to read a variety of texts with greater precision & skill.  (Practice each night).
