Dec 9th

Please note that our Virtual Christmas concert recording will be help on Monday, December 13th. Students have been practicing 2 fun French Christmas songs .

A notice was sent home last week regarding the middle school Power Play Christmas Market to be held on December 14th and 15th. Our class will be visiting. Items will be on sale for no more than $10.

A second notice regarding the new Safe Arrival program was also placed in your child's homework bag. I believe a school messenger was sent home by the office regarding the attendance program. 

Lastly, if you are experiencing any glitches with Je lis je lis, please reach out and I will trouble shoot. I encourage students to utilize the platform nightly and spend 10-15 minutes reading a book.

As always, if you have any questions and/or concerns, feel free to contact me at school :)

Nov 29th - Dec 3rd

Welcome back to our last week of November. Please note that morning recess will now be indoors until Spring. 

Report cards will be sent home today. Please note your time for parent-teacher if you had requested an interview. 

I have also placed Je lis je lis online reading resource memos in your child's envelop. Students may log in and read books from home at any time. This resource may be utilized aside from our at home learning package and will accompany their reading that already takes place at school. I opened up the entire account. Books become increasingly more difficult as your progress down the list. Feel free to contact me if you would like to know exactly what colour coded books correspond to your child's current reading level. 

French - We continue with our word work and words of the week. Various Christmas activities will be the order of the day until break. Student will learn new vocabulary, write a letter to Santa utilizing the writing process, and continue to rehearse our 2 Christmas songs for GG's virtual concert. 

Math - We will practice adding with the 4 family and learn all about estimation. Estimation lends itself to addition and subtraction.

Few Reminders:

Thursday - library and parent-teacher interviews (p.m.)

Friday - NO school for students. Parent-teacher (a.m.)

As always, if you have any questions and/or concerns, feel free to contact me at school :)
