Work to be signed

Students should be bringing home their religion assignments and multiplication quiz to be signed and returned to school tomorrow. 

Mathletics

Grade six students have been assigned tasks in Mathletics to complete, grade five students will have their tasks assigned by Monday evening.  The due date is tentatively October 11th, but that will likely change.

To sign-in students should go to myldcsb.ca and login using their student number followed by @ldcsb.org and the passwords used to login at school. 

Once signed in then students should click on the orange Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).

Once logged into the VLE the student should scroll down and click on the blue Mathletics Project tile.

Students should choose Number Sense and Numeration 1 and do the activities that have been assigned under that tab.

Orange Shirt Day

A reminder that Monday is Orange Shirt Day.  Students are encouraged to wear an orange shirt to honor the children who were sent away to the residential school system and the impact that this had on Indigenous communities.

Religion Assignment

Students are completing a written assignment at school where they are to choose a symbol of our faith and explain why it is symbolic.  The second part of the assignment is to present the symbol to the class, explaining their three reasons why this item is symbolic for them. They are encouraged to practice their speaking at home in front of family in order to help prepare them to present to the class.

Students are expected to answer the following questions based on the text information in the pictures below.
1- What is the digestive system?

Multiplication facts

This note will be going home tonight. Students should be practicing their multiplication facts each evening.

Second Week...

We had a wonderful first week together!  I look forward to continue building upon the sense of community in our classroom as the days and months pass.  I have started my calls home to introduce myself and will continue my attempt to reach all of you. 

Have a wonderful and blessed week!

French Website

Mlle. Benfeito would like students to regularly check her website for homework and class notes.  The link to her site is:

We've had a great couple of days to start off the new school year. I will be starting to make phone calls home to chat with as many parents or caregivers as possible. I look forward to continue getting know know everyone.

School Messenger

I post here regularly, but on occasion I will send out a quick blast through School Messenger.
If you don't have School Messenger then I would recommend signing up with the email address on file with the school.  This will also allow you to report and see absences without having to make any calls.  You can sign up through this link:  https://go.schoolmessenger.ca/#/account/signup

Once your account is set up, join our class group using the following code:

Agendas

Agendas have not yet arrived at the school.  Once they are delivered we will begin using them on a daily basis.  Parent/guardian support and involvement with this tool is really important.  Please check and sign your child's agenda each evening.  Thank you!!

Welcome, we've been waiting for you!

I am very excited to be joining the St. Thomas More community and to have the opportunity to get to know each of the students in my class.  The staff at St. Thomas More have been very welcoming and together we have been working hard to prepare for the upcoming school year.
