Jan 8th-12th

Welcome back! I trust everyone has a merry and restful holiday. I look forward to talking with everyone this morning. We will be starting Show and Tell "Montre et Raconte" next week. 1 student/day will be able to bring in an item, picture, etc. to talk to the class about. Your child will be notified when it is their turn :) 

French - Our theme will be related around Winter. We will continue where we left of with our weekly words, sounds, centers, etc.

Math - We will be subtracting and estimating differences for the remainder of the month. During our morning French routine, we will be incorporating money and time.

Health - We will be talking about our emotions in conjunction with Big Brothers Big Sisters SNAP program.

Social Studies - We will be learning about maps, cardinal points and where we live in relation of other Canadian provinces.

Science - Myself and a district lead will begin planning an exciting educational outreach program through MREAC (Miramichi River Environmental Assessment Committee). The “Our Living Waters Initiative,” is a multicultural environmental leadership, and community engagement, program undertaken through a partnership between the MREAC and the Miramichi Historical Linkages Project to promote a greater awareness of our history, and a better approach to the care of our waterways and ecosystems. The goal is one of stewardship for all, by all. This initiative begins in the classroom and engages students through a sustained program with monthly visits and activities, at French Fort Cove. Stay tuned for future details.
