I was so glad to see that everyone was able to pick up their belongings yesterday! I really wish I could've seen you all in person!

One important thing coming up this weekend is Mother's Day! "La fête des mères"
I will post some helpful vocabulary in case kids want to make a French or bilingual Mother's day card.
 - Along with some fun subtraction activities, creating things for mom is on our Home Learning Activities grid for the week. So don't forget to check it out!

Another note: I shared a powerpoint presentation, found here, that Mme Sharpe had created with the pronounciation of all 157 sight words from our first list. This will come in handy if your child chooses to practice those oh so important words! I did send out a personalized list to each student.

Finally, I love having little chats with 'my kiddos' and I also love seeing photos and videos of what you've all been up to! So, please send those along any time! (and let me know if you'd like to share them on the "Taking it to the Max" page!

Miss you all! Have a great week and weekend!
Mme Comeau

Happy Monday!
 I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather we had yesterday! I know I did! Hopefully we will have many more nice days to come, so that everyone can get outside often!

A couple of things for this week!
1. The "Number Rumble" math competition is over, but you can still play to keep your math skills sharp! Your passwords will be good until June 30th to use M-F between 7am-2pm. 

2. We started the competition with only 20 days left and we ended up finishing 32nd place out of almost 300 classes! Way to go guys and gals! You rock! AND because our class was in the top 10 most active classes on the site for the last week, we won a class prize. I'm not sure what it is yet, but that's amazing! 

3. By now, you all should have received an individualized list of sight words that you had not yet mastered. Focus on those words but practice the whole list if you want (especially when doing the weekly activities and if you want to write sentences/stories!). Get creative and practice your words in fun ways! These are so very important to help with your reading.

4. There is a website link at the bottom of this week's learning activity grid. Storybooks Canada. On this site you can choose a level and a language and begin reading. 
My suggestion is:
          - Ensure the language is set to French
          - Start with level 1 books and move up as they become easy.
          - Listen to the story at least once, then go back and try to read it with the audio off.
          - If you feel you are ready, attempt to read the story (or page) first and then press play to check your pronounciation.

5. If you did a moose drawing from last week's activities, don't forget to put it up in your window so the Moose Hunters can spot it!

6. Check out this week's fun learning opportunities here! 

Happy Earth Day!
Some things you can do, everyday for the planet:
Cut back on electricity (only use what you absolutely need.)
Reduce the amount of water you use (shorter showers, use a cup or very quick bursts of the tap to brush your teeth.)
Reduce, reuse, recycle (in that order!)

Family activity suggestions:
(when it is safe to do so)
- Clean up litter in an area around your home/neighborhood.
- Plant a garden of vegetables you like to eat.
- Plant wildflowers for the butterflies and the bees!
