Don't forget gloves, skates, helmet & ski pants. Even the best skaters fall at times, and no one wants to be wet or have cold hands. :)

We started a new system to encourage speaking in French at all times in class.
Students are rewarded with classroom dollars which they can redeem for various coupons/items on select Fridays.
If you see any of these dollars around, encourage your child to bring them to school and leave them here. (I have offered to keep their baggie of "money" for them, but some have opted to keep it with them or in their seat sac.)
I made it very clear that I do not keep track of who has how much and if they lose it before the store opens, it will not be replaced. This is to teach them responsibility, which we discussed several times this week.
We are continuing with new sounds every week, adding many sight words to the word wall (which they should be able to read), counting to 100 daily with a focus on numbers to 50, skip counting by 10s to 100, by 2s to 20 & numbers 1 more than, 2 more than, 1 less than & 2 more than a given number. Students are really starting to create sentences when speaking French and can ask & answer many questions about themselves and others!
With a broadening vocabulary we are really focusing on reading and writing in French and I can't wait to see how they continue to progress.
Bravo mes amis!

We had a lot of fun this month with the STEM challenge to create a tree using our curriculum outcomes!
The students chose the pattern we'd use, planned and created the tree we'd use for our door decorating contest! It was great fun!

Just a reminder that the colder weather is upon us and students go out for 30 minutes, every day, at lunch time. They need snow pants, gloves/mittens, winter jackets and hats every day!
*If these items could be labeled somehow, even better!
(Sometimes students and teachers spend half of the recess looking for these items.)
Thank you! Stay warm!

My sincere apologies, but I forgot to send home the student's wish lists that I tried to jot down when we walked through the book fair today. They all looked at books/activity play sets that they wanted. They ranged from $6-$17 for the most part. Of course they saw lots of items they wanted but I tried to get them to narrow it down to one favorite. They also all loved the small items (pencils, erasers, bookmarks, etc.) which ranged from $0.50-$4.00.
Tomorrow afternoon at 1:10pm our class will go to purchase items. You can send money with your child then or visit the book fair the evening of parent teacher.

Le/la, un/une explained
The video is in French with English subtitles and nice visuals. Only the first 2 minutes & 39 seconds are applicable to the words the students have currently, but the rest is useful information as well. :) Enjoy!

Today I gave the students worksheets to practice their sight words.
98% of the class requested to have all 5 sheets today so they could have "a lot of homework".
They DO NOT have to complete ALL 5 sheets tonight! They can if they'd like to, but 1 or 2 is fine.
The words, we have worked on in class many times, are: et, le/la, un/une (and a.)
(I will upload a link that explains the words "la/le" & "un/une" for parents, if you care to understand what they are/mean.
("et" = and and sounds like the letter A in English)
