Next week in art class, we will be constructing poppies out of egg cartons. The poppies will be displayed on our bulletin board for Remeberance Day. If you have any cartons at home, could you please send them to school with your child. Thank you.

          This week we concentrated on the sound S. We also practiced writing Ss in cursive. Guided reading took place in class, and their new books have been well rehearsed for next week. Our old 'mots courants" i.e. je suis, moi, toi, etc have now been placed on our word wall, and new ones added to our board. They can be reviewed on the bottom of the S sheet found in their book bags. Our writing activity for the week focused on what our dream school would look like...'Mon école de rêve." In math we moved on to learn how to compare and order numbers up to 1,000. They all have a solid foundation from previous years. Our task as a class is to now take that knowledge and translate it in French. They are however, quickly picking up on the appropriate terms we have been discussing, and am impressed to say the least :) We also played some math games from the Learn Alberta site to reinforce concepts. Please refer to the site at home if you have a chance (the link is located on my page). On Tuesday, students from Croft came to visit. They delivered a message concerning Miramichi's food bank, and how students at Gretna Green can become involved in order to aid the food bank during their outing on Halloween night. Refer to GG's website for more details.  Thursday, we exchanged our books in the library. They were all glad to see the librarian back this week. Tomorrow, students will continue to discuss their bucket list items and "fillers" in guidance. We will also review material from the previous 4 days. To cap everything off, we will read to our 'buddies" in Kindergarden. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and/or concerns. ***Note*** Halloween Dinner tickets will be placed in their reading bags tomorrow morning. The return date for the tickets is Friday, October 26. Cheers, M.Glazier

          We managed to finish everything that had been planned for this week, yeah! We learned the vowel Uu en français, continued to read new books, and practiced our fire escape plan. We also continued our unit on representing numbers up to 1,000. We began to work in our math textbooks. We learned how to use our textbook to copy questions and answer them in our binders (work in progress). We finished the week off by reading to our kindergarden friends in Mrs.Wall's class.  Mid-term reports were sent home today. The class was briefed on what the mid-term report actually is, and that it is similar to their communication binders. An explanation of each category in the report was dicussed as a class. Please continue to read over the weekend and return book bags on Monday. Guided reading books (levels A&B) and a new recording sheet will commence on Monday. These are books that have been rehearsed in class and compliment the vowel sounds we have been learning. Have a great weekend!

    A busy 3 days ahead of us en 3e année. This week is Fire Prevention Week! There will be a presentation on Wednesday morning and a fire drill at some point throughout the week. Mad Science also continues this week for those who are registered on Wednesday and Thursday. Interim Report Cards will also be handed out on Friday. As far as homework goes, everyone will again be receiving new books to read each night. Please ensure you child reads for 15 minutes, records what they have read on their sheet and returns to school the next day. We will also be learning the vowel U en francais and how to write Uu in cursive. In math, we will be continuing our unit on numbers. We will be working on ways to represent numbers up to 1000 (place value). Math homework may be sent home this week depending how much is accomplished in class due to our shortened schedule. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at school. Thank you :) 

Today in class we began learning how to represent numbres up to 3 place values en francais. We then proceeded with a class activity. It was corrected and handed back to your child. I've attached another copy of the assignment that I would like to see completed and returned to school by Friday. Any questions, please let me know. Merci beaucoup.  

Another great week has come and gone. This week we reviewed the vowels a, e and i. We also practice our new books for next week. In math we explored ways to represent numbers up to the hundreds. Friday was extremely busy! The day began with the walking school bus, followed by bus evacuation practice, school assembly and reading buddies. That's all for now. Enjoy the weekend.

Please remember to send you child's "book bag" (a.k.a trousse de livre) to school each day. They will receive a new book to bring home and practice.
