DIVISION 2

Bonjour!

For Career Education this term, we will have a few in-class workshops on financial literacy. There will be informative videos and collaborative group activities in these sessions. This will occur sometime in February. 

Bonjour!

This is a reminder to bring your portfolio home in the next week to show your parents what you have been working on in school! When viewing the portfolio, be sure to check the Schoolwork blog page too.

Merci!

Happy New Year, everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing winter break.

This term, we have created a blog page, “Schoolwork.” We will post assignment and project due dates.  We will no longer be sending home Overdue work reminders, as this blog page will be updated regularly and you will be able to check in with your child at your convenience. Please discuss the importance of completing school assignments on time so there are no surprises during reporting. 

Thank you for your continued support!

Hello everyone!

This is a friendly reminder that the first part of your science (ecosystem) project is due this Friday, November 8. Your “oral presentation” simply means you will tell the class what inquiry question you explored. We will then do a class walk, where you will have the opportunity to ask your classmates questions about their poster project!

I am looking forward to seeing your finished products!
