A Snowy Thursday

Hello friends of learning!

Happy Thursday! Happy first snowfall!

To celebrate snow, we completed a mystery "Brrrr" coordinate picture in Math.

Can you guess what it might be?

Ta da! A snowman!

In Français, we logged in to our home reading site Je Lis for the first time. While some students have used this site in the past, it was new to many of us today.

After watching/listening to Mme model how to use the site, we had a chance to get started.

Daily reading in French is SO important and is one of the most valuable ways we can improve our vocabulary and comprehension. Start planning how to make it a part of your daily evening routine at home; even 10 minutes or one short book per day will have a huge impact over the course of the year.

(More info about Je Lis and additional reading sources is coming via email tomorrow (Friday).)

Happy reading! :)

AGENDA

SPIRIT WEEK is next week! Check out THIS POST for all the dress-up fun!

1. Français: Les buts - Things are coming along with our goal writing in French. Most students have finished their action plans for their four goals and are beginning to revise their planning page for spelling and grammar before starting to write their draft in the cahier.

Students will have one more period in class tomorrow (Friday) to complete their drafts in class before it gets assigned as homework.

Please check in with your child to see what progress they've made with their writing.

2. Spend some time reading this week!

New: Je Lis! (Home reading site)

OR

 ebookids.com is a great site that offers a variety of French stories as well as audio books. 

Setting aside 10-15 minutes for French reading will have a huge impact on French language development.

3. If you have not already done so, please ensure you have a pair of headphones here at school. We will be using the laptops for different reading and math activities and having headphones will allow students to better focus on their own work and allow for a calmer learning environment as a whole. 

4. SOCK-TOBER: In partnership with Ogijiita Pimatiswin Kinamatwin, we (along with all schools in the St James Assiniboia School Division) are collecting donations of socks and mittens this October.

Please bring in new, unopened adult or kid-sized scocks, gloves and mittens from now until October 31.

There are collection bins near all three entrances (6,7 and 8).

Please donate as you are able. Thank you!
