Bonjour tout le monde!
Wow! It's difficult to believe that after this week, there is only one week of school left before Spring Break!
There is NO new dictee this week. We will pick up again after the break!
We do have some division homework from math today for those who didn't finish in class, or who have corrections. We have been learning the partial quotient method, or what some people call "The Big 7" because it looks a bit like a big 7 when it's drawn out!
I will post a copy of the sheet that may be coming home (due Monday), as well as this handy video that explains more or less how this "Big 7" method of division works. We are drawing circles (instead of stick people) to represent groups, but the concept is the same! If you are helping your child with their division homework, please know that we are not using the traditional long division algorithm. You can quickly familiarize yourself with the "Big 7" method to help at home, using the language we are using in class! Merci beaucoup!

And finally, a reminder that we have some field trips happening next week! Keep an eye on your email for reminders!
Tues - Maritime Museum!
Fri - Swimming!
It should be a fun way to end our term!
Finally, report cards will be going home next Friday! Note that report cards are now accessed online, rather than going home on paper, so watch your email for instructions if needed!
Merci!
