Bonjour à tous,

Grade 5 is doing really great with our unit « Ma

famille ». We can now sucessfully describe

members of our immediate & extended family

en français!

Ask students to share with you about someone.

Maybe they will tell you about their favourite

sport!

A big thank you to those who brought items for

our Halloween basket, it is coming along really

good.

Au revoir! Mme Chute

and empower all students to become lifelong productive

Grade 1

Grade one is in full swing! We are working on making

good sentences, guided reading and learning to read

our no excuse words. You will notice a ring of words

come home each night. Practice reading these each

night. Once they can read them all they will move on to

spelling them. In math we are skip counting to 20 by

2’s, the number before and after and counting back-

ward from 20. We are beginning patterns this week.

Thanks to everyone for sending in things for our class-

room basket. Homework will start soon and I will send a

letter explaining how it will work when the time comes.

Please keep reading to your child each day, as it is so

important to help with their own reading.

Grade 4 What a fantastic first month Grade 4 students have had! I am very proud of

their accomplishments in math and literacy so far. In math the stu-

dents have been working on representing numbers in different

ways, and putting numbers in ascending and descending order. The

students are moving on to adding and subtracting numbers to

1000.

In Literacy the students are working on persuasive writing. Ask your

child if they can tell you what a piece of persuasive writing is. They

are also working on their reading and Grade 4 spelling and sight

words.

Keep up the great work Grade 4!!

Miss Giddens

What a great start to the year Kindergarten students! You have been working hard and learn-ing new skills. In Literacy, the students have covered letters Ss, Mm, Dd, Ff, Mm and Pp. They have been working on drawing detailed pic-tures and labeling them using letter sounds. As well we have been practicing letter recognition and our printing skills. In Math, students have been learning how to recognize, write and repre-sent numbers. As well we have worked on sort-ing and patterns. I am so excited to see how you all will continue to grow and learn. Keep up the great work!

Mrs.Newman Grade 3

What a terrific start to Grade 3! We are all settled. Spelling words will be sent home on Monday and spelling tests are Friday. Nightly reading homework is assigned, and a reading log is sent home daily.

In Literacy, we are reading, “The Little House in the Big Woods.” The students are working hard on their reading, writing, and spelling.

In Math, the students are working on repre-senting numbers in different ways, graphing and basic math facts to 18.

I will send home book order forms each month. Orders can be placed online at https://canadaclubs.scholastic.ca/en/home or you can complete the paper order form and return it to me. Please place your order within the given time on the order form.

Theme of the month: Respect

Ms. Lee’s bit: Loving this semester so far! Teaching Outdoor Pursuits gives me a chance to be outside and explore the woods, trails and parks with my students <3! Chemistry 11 students have made an excellent start as all of their skills are starting to come together! Math 10 students are working hard with real life measurement re-lated concepts and the Journalism class has been splitting their time learning about the craft of journalism and learning the publishing program we will use to create the yearbook!

Since 2015, vaping has been part of provincial

anti-smoking legislation (Smoke-Free Places Act).

This means vaping is not permitted in indoor

workplaces, school grounds, or vehicles travel-

ling with individuals under the age of 16. Under

the Act, those in violation can be fined $172.50

by an inspector, peace officer, or law enforce-

ment officer.

Guidance

Students participated in the kindness initiative #becca toldmeto in September. They demonstrated how they were going to carry on Becca’s legacy of being kind to one another by sharing something kind that they would do for a loved one or a friend on Sunday September 15th. Students at CICS continue to inspire and motivate one another with their kindness each and every day. Keep up the great work CICS Vikings.

On October 28th, grade 11 and 12 students will be attending Post-Secondary Day in St. Stephen. Students will get an opportunity to discuss their post-secondary plans with recruitment representatives from various universi-ties, colleges and private training institutes. Looking forward to discussing the next step with our seniors as they traverse through their final year at CICS and get ready for all the opportunities the world can bring them.

Boys Soccer Team

Senior Girls Soccer

At the midpoint of the Varsity Girls soccer sea-son, our team hasn't quite gotten the results we were hoping for at the beginning, but it's not for a lack of great skill and determination. Our veter-ans have been leading the way with chance after chance, but the breaks just aren't coming our way. Our younger core have been learning on the fly, excelling when their opportunity comes up. Close losses in our league games have us optimistic for the upcoming matches. Four games remain on the regular season, with our final home game coming on Oc-tober 8th against SJDA. Go Vikings!
