This week: We will be continuing our theme on winter. Last week we were able to write two pieces of writing pertaining to winter. One piece was about winter activities and the other about hot chocolate. We will continue working on the “organization trait” and implement as many “mots frequents” (frequent grade 3 spelling words) and new sounds as possible in our writings. Friday, we will also be Skyping with a grade 3 FI class at St. Andrew's. We will be writing our scripts this week. I placed both the letter Dd and Pp reading sheets in your child’s trousse de livre. Please ensure that they practice reading these sheets and their nightly book throughout the week. PLEASE return their trousse de livre to school daily. As for cursive writing, we practice the letter Pp today. Letter Pp is to be completed by next Monday. In math, we continue to work with time and the calendar. We will soon be learning about measurement. I must add that we practice adding and subtracting multiples of ten i.e 54+33 and having students break down the question i.e 50+30 = 80 and 4+3=9 therefore 80+9 = 89 or by having students add/subtract on a number line adaily during our morning routine/message. We also practice multiplying up to 5x5. It would be beneficial to have your child either practice, or you ask them random addition/subtraction and multiplication (up to 5x5) at home on a sheet of loose leaf, and see what they are able to come up with. If you have any questions/concerns or would like extra math exercises, please feel free to contact me. Every little bit helps. There are also numerous math websites on the internet. Feel free to explore. In social studies, we are exploring where New Brunswick is in relation to North America. We also took a virtual tour around various attractions in New Brunswick via Google Maps today in class. Everyone enjoyed this activity! Wednesday is Popcorn...don't forget your $0.50. Thursday is library, don't forget your books!!! IMPORTANT INFO!!!     We will be skating this Friday, February 1 from 10-11 am. Please make sure students bring their skates and helmets. If you require skates or a helmet, please let me know. If any parents or grandparents would like to come and help tie skates, your help would be greatly appreciated.Today we went to Carrefour Beausoleil to watch a French play. Stay tuned for pictures of our outing.   Gretna Green is also selling tickets @ 0.50$ each for a chance to win one of the two hockey jerseys. Cheers!
