Happy Hallowe'en!

No reading to do tonight!  Enjoy yourselves and don't eat too much candy!  I would like you to take a moment to study your vocabulary words.  After correcting today's spelling quiz I'm noticing unnecessary errors.  Take a few minutes a day and you'll have no problems come Friday.

A hint for tomorrow's spelling quiz

On tomorrow's spelling quiz I will be supplying some definitions.  You need to write down the proper word for the proper definition.  The last question on the quiz will be:

Faites une phrase avec le mot "québécois."

Study your foldables!

Also, this week's vocabulary words will be:

Île - du-Prince-Édouard
Nouveau -Brunswick
Nouvelle-Écosse
Terre Neuve
Québec
Ontario
Manitoba
Saskatchewan
Alberta
Colombie-Britannique
Yukon
Territoires du Nord-Ouest
Nunavut

A few things to remember

This Monday we will be doing our spelling quiz.  You are responsible for the definitions as well as the proper spelling!

Our Harry Potter Party is this Monday.  Wear your costumes!  I'll bring some treats, but you are welcome to bring some as well (although you certainly don't have to).

On Friday we are having our quiz in Sciences Humaines.  You are responsible for knowing the provinces, territories and their capitals!  In French! 

Any parents who would like to email me with their ideal interview times are welcome to do so!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Wednesday's homework

1. Read in French for 20 minutes
2. Study your vocabulary words!  If you did not complete your vocabulary definitions, please do so tonight
3. Maths: Finish the math sheet.  Do your best!  If you are unable to do it but I can see that you tried you won't lose any homework points.

A great website for multiplication

This site does require some downloading, but it's worth it!  It's a multiplication (or any other operation) site that plays like a video game.  I put it on the side in our links, but I thought it would be worthwhile to include it in it's very own post.
