Bonne Année!!

Bonne année à tous!

I Hope you all had a wonderful and restful holiday break with your families! I can't wait to see all your kiddos tomorrow!

We will be getting back into our weekly routine tomorrow.

I will be sending home the sound of the week along with a New Year's book for them to read for the week. We will be introducing the pronoun "nous" meaning "we" and finishing our unit on their feelings and emotions. We will also be discussing "personal goals" for the new year!

There will be no new sight words this week as I will be doing a review.

Also, the province is asking that everyone in the schools "mask up" for the first 2 weeks of school (there is more information on our school FB page and in the letter sent home in December). This is not mandatory but when possible, strongly encouraged to help curb potential spread of any exposure to covid.

Also, winter seems to have found us, so students are reminded to dress appropriately for the weather.

Happy New Year!

Bon Lundi!

Happy Monday everyone! It is our last week before the holidays! It is going to be a busy week of holiday activities, entrepreneurship fair and Christmas concert recording.

I will not be assigning any homework this week, however students can still go on Zorbit's Math or read on "Je lis" and "Boukili" if they would like. There is no need to log their reading this week. They will be bringing home a Christmas book on Tuesday that they can read over the holidays. *If you would like a couple books for your child to read over the Christmas Break, please leave me a note in the agenda*

Here is a snap shot of our week:

Monday: Music (They will be practicing their Christmas song)

Tuesday: Music & Phys.ed, Entrepreneurship Fair (list of products is posted below) I will be sending home a Christmas book that they can keep at home to read over the holiday.

Wednesday: Phys.ed, Christmas sweater/hat day, wrapping donations up for SPCA.

Thursday: Music (recording Christmas Song), School Colors day

Friday: Last day of classes before the holidays, PJ DAY!

Merry Christmas!

Les Devoirs ( 7- 11 décembre)

Happy Monday everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend! Here is the homework for the week! This is a review week for sounds and sight words!

Lecture: Students will be bringing home their new book this week. They are to read 1-2 books every night. Students are to focus on the initial sound in each word and sounding out the word, looking for familiar sounds. Follow with your finger and look at the picture to help!

Les Sons: This week is a review week. Students are to go over the sound videos they have learned so far. I will also be sending home sound cards on Tuesday that they can use to flip through the sounds and do the action.

Les mots: A sheet is being sent home with all the sight words students have learned so far. These can be used as you would like. Cut up and used as flash cards, kept intact and trace with your finger. These can be kept at home for review.

Maths: The new task card is in the math wallet. Students are to complete the task this week and work on Zorbit Math as well. There will be a holiday Math game sent home on Tuesday that students can play with a family member. :)

Christmas Dinner - Our Christmas Dinner is on Thursday December 10th. Please note that the ham dinner is the only meal being served that day. If students did not order the meal, they will have to bring their lunch.

Christmas Shirt Day - We will have a Christmas Shirt/Sweater Day on Thursday December 10th. Students and staff are asked to make a $2.00 donation, with all proceeds going to the Food Bank. Thank you for your support with this project.

* Just a reminder that the days are getting colder so students are reminded to dress for the weather. Also, a reminder to students to bring a water bottle as the fountains are only used as fill up stations.

Have a great week everyone!
