Bonjour!

 Reminder that school photo orders are due tomorrow in class or Thursday online! 

 Scholastic forms are going home today.  Since I know many families will be using the orders for Christmas shopping, if you would like me to contact you when your order comes in (rather than send them home with your child), please just send me a note and I'd be happy to do so.  Orders will be due November 8 (as indicated on the Calendar that has been posted). 

 I am looking for gloves that the students can use to erase their personal whiteboards when working in class. If you have any that you are willing to donate to the class, please send them to school in your child's purple folder. They don't need to have a match!

Today, we were busy bees! We had a presentation by the grade 3s about recycling old markers, we learned about the number 3 (trois), and we had a visit from Constable Mark! Constable Mark is our school's designated police officer. He will be present for all lock downs and will lead activities in every class throughout the year in order to get to know the staff and students. He is an important part of the Varsity community and the kids were excited to meet him! Constable Mark introduced himself to the class, talked about his job, and talked about bucket filling: the act of fill up someone's internal bucket by making them feel included, happy, and safe. After the discussion Constable read a book and the students each coloured in a bucket.

Bonjour! I apologize, I had computer trouble yesterday and my blog post wouldn't publish! In gym class this month, we will be doing a gymnastics unit. Today, the students learned how to dress appropriately so that they can participate safely. You should have received an email from M Trevor about this. Below are the suggestions that were discussed the students today: - tie up long hair - avoid wearing hoodies, dresses, or skirts - wear pants that allow for a wide range of movement such as leggings, sweat pants, or track pants Thank you for your help and cooperation with this! Today, we continued practicing how to move and hold our bodies in a controlled manner. Students played a game of dance and freeze. When the music stopped, students had to freeze and maintain their balance in a pose. In French, we practiced some new animal vocabulary in order to help students with their January homework. We also introduced a new song called "La belle pieuvre", which can

Bonjour! Clean up went much smoother today! Thank you to those of you who talked about cleaning up with their child. Your support at home helps things go smoothly at school. Today, we was Jour Violet. The students learned how to write the word "VIOLET" as a group and then worked independently in their journals. We had a visit from a woman from Lynne who works for Alberta Health Services. Mme Lynne talk the students about the major muscle groups of the body and did some movement exercises with them. The students played a movement game during which they pretended to be an egg, toast, bacon, and a table. They also practiced balancing on foot, running on the spot, and deep breathing. Ask your child to show you some of the moves they learned! I've added some videos below, enjoy!
