Traditions

We have started to work on Christmas vocabulary, talking about different Christmas traditions that we may do at home, and will be writing Christmas letters to Santa tomorrow. ( I will also be sending a copy of their letter in their home folders as a keepsake)

If any families celebrate other traditions at home that are not related to Christmas, but would appreciate them to be discussed in class as well, please don't hesitate to email me or contact me, as all traditions are important.

Merci,

Mme Hitchman

Les devoirs (30 novembre-4 décembre)

Happy Monday everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed the nice weather this weekend!

Here is the homework for the week:

Lecture: Students are to read 1-2 books each night this week. Please complete the reading logs each night so I can check them daily to see how they are doing and switch books out if need be. Students will also have a book to read called "Que fait un bon ami". (What makes a good friend)

Le Son: Students can listen to the sound poem and sing along with the song while doing the action. The sound is "IN" this week. Their sound words are also in their sheet protector.

Les Mots: Their new sight words are in their word wallets. They are to practice saying them aloud each night.

Math: The new math task is in their word wallets for the week. Students are to work on Zorbit Math as well.

Christmas: We will be practicing some Christmas songs in class, so I may put them up on my teacher page for students to practice at home. Also, our class will be collecting donations for the SPCA until December 14th.

Report Cards: First term report cards go home on Tuesday, December 1st.

Parent teacher interviews: Parent Teacher interviews will be done either over the phone or on skype. A memo will be sent home Monday, November 30th for parents to choose the day/time that works best for them. Please fill the form out and return it on Tuesday or Wednesday so that a time can be set up. If I have checked off that I do not require an interview at this time, and you would still like one, by all means fill out the form. It just means that I don't require one as we may have been communicating already.

Thursday: Library: Please return all books in order to check out new ones.

Friday: No school for students. Parent/teacher phone\skype interviews will be done in the morning and the afternoon is a PLD for teachers.

Christmas Dinner: If students would like the Christmas Dinner, pre-orders were sent home and must be returned by Thursday, December 3rd. The cost for students will be $4.00 and the school will pay the remaining $3.00 cost.

* Just a reminder that the days are getting colder so students are reminded to dress for the weather. :)

Have a great week Raiders!

They can read the books in their homework bag, or books on Je lis Je lis website. Students also enjoy the "Bouliki" website and can sign up for free. This website has a reading comprehension quiz at the end of the book. They can click on the Audio ear to hear the questions and answers. https://boukili.ca/en/auth/inscription

Les sons: Students can listen to the sound poem on my teacher page, and sing along with the song while doing the action. The sound is "CH" this week. The action is to put their index finger up to their mouth and say "ch". Their sound words are also in their sheet protector this week.

Les Mots: Their new sight words are in their word wallets. They are to practice saying them aloud. They can also build their words at home using magnetic letters, playdough, lego, salt in a tray, etc or write them in the air with their finger.

Maths: The new math task is in their word wallets for the week! They are to find 5 2D objects around the house and think of something they all have in common! Students are to complete their assignments on Zorbit Math as well.

I have asked all the students to come up with an idea of what they want to learn more about in our Exploration time during the day. I will make a list and we will focus on each idea, one at a time throughout the year!

Reminders this week:

Monday: Homework assigned.

Thursday: Library (return books)
