The Spell-a-thon kickoff assembly was today, and all students received a packet with their spelling words. Students are to practice these words as we are going to try to have all Top Spellers this year!
Good luck to all students!!
Happy Spelling!

My grade 1 class has been working hard participating in a Reading challenge for the month of January.
Tomorrow we will be reading with a flash light. A memo went home today with students. If your child has a small flashlight they could bring to school so that they can read with it, that would be wonderful! If they do not, I will pair them up with a student who does.
Thank you!

Tomorrow is Blue shirt day to bring awareness of our "No name calling" Week that our middle school students have been in charge of, and earlier this week they had an assembly for our K-8 students on the importance of using compliments.
Students are encouraged to wear a BLUE shirt tomorrow! :)

On Friday, our K-5 students will be having an assembly with the Earth Rangers. "Earth Rangers is the kids’ conservation organization, committed to instilling environmental knowledge, positivity, and the confidence to take action in every child in Canada. They do this through a variety of free programming that children can participate in at school, at home, and in their communities. All of these programs are educational and engaging – but more importantly, they show children that it’s not too late to help the planet, and the things we do today will matter tomorrow."
If you would like to look at parent resources online with your child, I have attached both links in English and French.

Welcome back everyone!
I hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas Break and are ready for 2020!
Here is the homework for the week!
Tuesday: First day back for students. Happy New Year!
Homework sent home for the week. We will be getting back to our usual routine.
- Sound: Read the sound poem “R” and the sound words 1-2 times aloud. The Sound is on the teacher page. I have also sent a flipbook of their sounds they have done so far in their homework folders. Students will be adding a new sound every week. They can do the action and say the sound when practicing. This is great review for their sounds as well. The flipbooks are to be returned every Monday to add the new sound and to be returned to the class at the end of the school year.
- Reading: Students are to read their new books 1-2 times aloud each night. Students will have books on food in their homework bag they can read as well as a New Year’s Resolution book for this week. Encourage them to look at the picture, follow along with their finger and read aloud. I will be sending sound books home as well so please send these back daily, as I will be giving them to different students.
Wednesday: Show and Tell: I know students are very eager to talk about Christmas, so tomorrow all students can bring in something they think is special to them they have received over the holiday.This item has to fit in their book bag as well and can not be technology incase it breaks at school. Students will be asked to describe their item and explain why it is special to them, so if you could please go over the item with them before they bring it to school, that would be appreciated.
Thursday: Gym\Music class and Library
Friday: Weekly Home work is due back. New sight words will begin next week.

· There is no homework this week as it is a very busy time before the holidays and there are many activities going on for students. The only thing I would like students to do, is read one of their French browsing books each night this week to work on their fluency and vocabulary. If you would like books sent home to read throughout the holiday break as well, please leave me a note in the agenda and I will send them on Friday.
· This week is SPIRIT week! The theme days are below! Student participation is encouraged! We will also be collecting Food Bank Items. The class with the most donated will receive a point for Spirit Week.

Wednesday: Dress up Day

Last day before the Christmas holidays. This is a full day for students. My students have won a class prize for working together and speaking French so I will be bringing cupcakes to celebrate. If your child cannot eat a cupcake, please let me know so I can get something else for them.
I want to take this time to wish all my students and their families a wonderful and restful holiday break. It has been a very busy first term, and students have worked very hard in grade one, learning a new language! I hope they enjoy this very well deserved break with their families!
Joyeux Noël et bonne année!
