Friday we worked hard during our literacy lesson. First, we read the morning message created by "Les sages hiboux". Then, we created one for them. The children love taking ownership of using prior French knowledge to formulate their own sentences. Bravo, les amis !
Journaling and Sharing! After reading, Pat prend le traîn, the children took to their journals, drew a picture and wrote about their favourite part of the book. Once completed, they read what they wrote with their classmates. With weekly practice, they are greatly improving their abilities to generate expanded thoughts and take risks to spell words on their own.
We ended our lessons with a fun game of letter Bingo!
Upcoming Events:
Tuesday, February 13th. Please dress your child up as a 100 year old person. Thank you for those children who did come to school as little old people. Now they get to do it again next week too!
Here are a few ideas how you can make your child age a few years (e.g., glasses, cane, bun in hair, vest & tie, pearls, cardigan, housecoat). Secondly, if you can, please work with your child and count out 100 items that he/she can bring to school (e.g., 100 paper clips, Cheerios, raisins, beans, elastics, Smarties, etc...). This is a great way to see how 100 items take up space in different ways. Merci !
Wednesday, February 14th is Valentine's Day. Please dress your child in red, pink, white, and/or black. We will be creating Valentine's bags and if you wish your child to participate in the exchange of Valentines, please have them print: "Mon ami" in the "To:" area and their name in the "From:" area. This will make the distribution of Valentine's card so much easier. Merci !
Friday, February 16th is Winter Carnaval Day! Please dress your child for the weather (as you always do). Warm thick socks and mittens are such a must to keep our fingers and toes warm! This is a school wide activity and a great way for the children to work with their school community. Merci !
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
