We have almost completed our first month of Grade Five already!    There is a focus this month on school routines and things are progressing well with the Intensive French Program.  I hope to put some samples of student work on this page from time to time.   Homework: I plan to have a consistent routine for homework each week.  Math - There will be a homework sheet each week and students are asked to study their multiplication facts each night. Language Arts - The students will read in English each night (15 - 20 min) and they have a written reading response each week.  Some weeks they will complete a reading comprehension activity in the place of the reading response.  I feel it is important to continue with some English writing during the Intensive French block. French Reading homework will begin soon
