Welcome back to another week in 3FI Glazier. I just everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving long weekend.

This week is Fire Prevention Week. There will be a presentation Thursday morning in the gym for students.

I will be away tomorrow (Wednesday, Oct 10^th) and Madame Robichaud will be in.

French - This week’s sound will be (Éé). Homework binders will be sent home with sound sheets to practice. A new song (chocolate) has also been placed inside. Please practice all week and return Friday. We continue to rehearse books. Books will soon be sent home to read nightly. Please ensure they are returned the next day not to disrupt our rotation. We will also continue to talk about ourselves and our friends as well as Halloween themed activities.

Math - We will be practicing the difference between 60 and 70 this week and there are subtle differences. We also incorporate representing numbers during our morning routine. We will be representing and describing numbers concretely, pictorially and symbolically this week.

Welcome back to another week in 3FI Glazier. We are well into our daily routine. I am very pleased with everyone’s progress. Continue le beau travail!

*** Please note that vowel sound sheets and last week’s math numbers (0-20) will be sent home to be rehearse all week  as homework in their white homework binders ***

We continue to work on our first unit called "Je suis unique" (I'm unique). Students continue to learn vocabulary to describe themselves and their friends. They will also learn to express their preferences and dislikes. We continually review learned language structures, adding to the list weekly. The following structures will be quickly reviewed this week:

-        Quel temps fait-il aujourd’hui?

-        Es-tu un garcon ou une fille?

-        Quelle couleur sont tes cheveux? Mes cheveux sont.... 

-         Quelle couleur sont tes yeux? Mes yeux sont...  

We will be moving on to learn the following:

• J’ai un(e) ami(e) 

• Mon ami et moi

Students continue to write each day about themselves. This is part of our morning routine. Students then share with the class. We will begin practice our words of the week in centers. We are currently practicing how to work in each of our centers.

We continue to learn a few new songs/ poems around this theme. Students will also continue to read thematic books with a partner on a daily basis. These books are sent home as homework each night soon.

In math. We will be practicing our numbers up to 40 and commence our patterns unit. There are several web links on my teacher page to practice the numbers in French.

Please refer to our school website regularly for important information and postings. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at school. I will respond via phone call as promptly as I can. Let’s have a great week! Cheers :)

Welcome back to another week in 4FI Glazier. I am blessed to have an eager class willing to learn a new language. Bravo les amis! Please stay tuned for some exciting videos of your son/daughter soon to be posted in the upcoming days/weeks.

The following French oral structures will be quickly reviewed this week:

-        Quelle est la date aujourd’hui?

-        Comment t’appelle-tu?

-        Quel âge as-tu? J’ai 8 ans.

-        Quel temps fait-il aujourd’hui?

-        Es-tu un garcon ou une fille?

We will be moving on to learn the following:

-        Quelle couleur sont tes cheveux? Mes cheveux sont.... 

-         Quelle couleur sont tes yeux? Mes yeux sont...  

In reading (lecture), we are working on the vowel sounds and we are reading simple books related to the school vocabulary seen in class.  These books will be sent home once we have a full class set read to be sent into rotation. Students will eventually receive one nightly.

Students have also been writing each day about themselves. This is part of our morning routine. Students then share with the class.

We are also learning a few new songs and continue to learn classroom vocabulary.  Students really enjoy the songs. I have begun to take request from prior songs and students really enjoy singing along.

In Math, we have been working on our numbers from 0-40. Last week we practiced up to 20. We are also comparing numbers (16 est plus grand que 10. 3 est plus petit que 12).

Please refer to our school website regularly for important information and postings. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at school. I will respond via phone call as promptly as I can. Let’s have a great week! Cheers :)

My name is M. Glazier, and I will be teaching your child French this year. I look forward to laying a solid foundation as your child begins to learn French

Positive communication between teachers and parents/guardians is essential. I hope the following information will help you understand certain aspects of your child's academic year.

Teacher Page:

I post frequently on my teacher page, which is located under the “Teacher Page” tab of our school website. Student’s schedules, notices, reminders, assignments, links, etc. will be updated weekly.

Likewise, it is very important that you verify our school website on a regular basis in order to know what is going on. Many notices, updates, important reminders, etc. are posted daily.

English Language Arts:

English will be taught by Mrs. Simmons for 30 minutes daily starting next week.

Book orders:

Scholastic book orders will be sent home monthly. This is a great opportunity to build your child’s French library. Your orders also help us earn points towards additional browsing box books for our classrooms.

Homework:

I try to keep homework to a minimum. I do, however, encourage your child to read every night in French for 15 minutes. Books will begin to be sent home in late October after we have established our vocabulary and sounds. If work has been assigned, it will be due on Fridays. Any incomplete work (French, Math, etc.) will be sent home as well. If you have any questions, please contact me and I will respond via telephone as promptly as possible.

You may prefer your child to divide his/her workload throughout the week as he/she could have activities on certain nights such as: hockey, karate, dance or whatever the case may be. It is up to you! I hope this “homework routine” will be easier to organize your family’s schedule, as we encourage children to get involved in extracurricular activities.

Other information:

• Please send a note if your child will be absent or when there is a change in the child’s routine. School policy dictates that your child will be sent on the bus if I do not have a note stating that he/she should not “take the bus.”
• Students may keep a bottle of water (optional)
• Gretna Green is a peanut free school.
•  I teach from 8:30-2:30, and committed to school extra-curricular activities on most days. I will respond to messages as promptly as possible.
• Thank you so much for your cooperation. Your child’s education is at heart.

Let’s work together to make 3FI Glazier and the greater Gretna Green community a positive learning environment for all. Cheers!

M. Glazier :)

A permission slip for ASD-N's track and field meet will be sent home tomorrow (Friday, June 15th) Permission slips need to be signed and returned by Monday, June 18th. Thanks.

Welcome back to another week in 4FI Glazier. The month of June has arrived. Only 3 weeks remaining. The year has definitely flown by quickly!

Tuesday we will be visiting the Ducks Unlimited pond in Chatham from 9-11 a.m. Please note that it is a rain or shine event, so dress appropriately. It is forecasted to rain, so I will be bringing my rain jacket and umbrella just in case. Please bring a pair of rubber boots as well, since students will have the opportunity to collect data and search for creepy crawlers.

ICE CREAM! Students will enjoy a free ice cream cone as there will be a pop-up truck here at school on Friday. Youpi!

French - For the remainder of the year, students will be focused on creating a booklet about each student in the class. One student will be chosen daily, and positive messages will be written about that student. Booklets will be sent home as they are completed.

Math - The remainder of our time will serve as a review of this year’s material. There will be a specific focus on our facts as we continue to masters and prepare for Grade 5.

Science - We will be reviewing our Habitat content in preparation for our field trip to Kouchibouguac next week.

If you have any question, comments, and/or concerns, please contact me at school. I will return your calls as soon as possible. Cheers.

Math - This week we will be wrapping up our pictogram and bag graph activities. We will move on to geometry. The week after will serve as a review prior to our provincial assessment.
