Week 6 in Div. 11

Bonjour!

This week on my radar:
It's the official yearly Fire Drill week at Willows, where we practice getting out of the building quickly and quietly.

Monday:  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Tuesday:  Fire drill, P.E.
Wednesday:  Official Fire Drill with Oak Bay Fire Dept. attending

French Home reading:
How is the home reading coming along?  Is your child able to get his/her 10 minutes a day of French reading?  Are you seeing books coming home?  Please jot me a note in your child's agenda if he/she needs a reminder to switch-out French books.

Inside shoes:
With the wet weather now here again, please make sure your child has a clean pair of inside shoes for the classroom.  

Agendas
I use agendas in my class as an important communication tool between school & home.  Please make sure to sign it every night.  I tell students that it is their responsibility to ask you to read and sign it, but in reality these young people usually need a hand in remembering.  Since we look at our agendas at least once a day, it is also a good place for parents to write reminders (exchange books, bring home water bottle, ...)
