Beach day, experiments and more...

Salut!  Tomorrow is beach day.  Students can dress (under their winter gear) in clothes for the beach--no swimsuits however please.  Sun hats, shorts, sundresses, t-shirts, sunglasses...  We will bring some sun to our school on a cold day.  Please ensure that your child still has appropriate clothing for recess.

 

In class we have been exploring and predicting doing experiments with water.  Our science experiments take place on Tuesdays.  We have completed our alphabet testing in French this past week and a lot of progress has been made--Bravo!  We are also learning new alphabet songs for each letter and the sounds each one makes. In math we have been learning about bigger than, smaller than and equal to (<, >, =).  We finished a booklet entitled Où sont mes mitaines? We will share them with our cali-partenaires during reading time today and the students will bring them home. We have been sharing about our favourite winter activities and have been learning some songs for our assembly.  I will get the date finalized and have that for you soon.  In February, on the Tuesday after the break, we will be celebrating 100 days of school.  If your child would like to do an 100 days project at home and bring it to present in February that would be great.  I will explain the project in the days to come.

Chers parents,

Welcome back!  I hope that everyone had a good and restful holiday!  We are looking forward to all the fun and learning we will do in 2016. We have been having some great outdoor weather this winter and I hope that we can all benefit from it with our class.  We are hoping, as one of our celebrations for bucket filling this month, to do some outdoor activities with our care-partners.  I will let you know when that will be.  We are also welcoming a new student to our class.  I know that our class will do well in welcoming her.  We will be learning about winter and the fun activities we can do in winter.  For your child’s special day please send something (can be a photo, drawing or memento) of a winter activity.  We will be learning vocabulary about winter as well.  We will also be doing a winter assembly in the beginning of February with Mme McCrea’s class.  I will let you know the date as soon as that is finalized.  I would like to officially welcome Mrs. Robina Hanif as a parent volunteer in our classroom.  She is also an educator and has been generous in giving her time and helping in our class.  Merci!

 

Thank you again for the lovely gifts and thoughtful words.  My family and I enjoyed a wonderful break.

Please remember Mondays are book exchange days.

Wednesdays are our care-partner days.

January 21^st is beach day/ la plage when kids can dress up for the beach (no bathing suits please) and can bring a towel.  Please remember winter gear for recess.
