Bonjour!

 If you haven't already taken a look at the November Calendar and homework, please do so. 

 This week, our class has the pleasure of having the "Buffalo - A Way of Life" kit in our class. The kit comes from Fort Calgary and provides insight into the lives of the First Nations people of Southern Alberta who relied on wild buffalo as a source of food. Today, we read a story called "Hidden Buffalo" by Rudy Wiebe and looked at a shield and a sacred drum made of buffalo hide!

Bonjour! I have now posted the November calendar on the blog. I have also created a new page to provide you with the questions for the monthly homework. The questions can be copied and pasted into a word document for printing or written out on another paper. The homework is due on November 25th; please keep the sheet at home and practice with your child until the due date.  If you have any questions, please let me know. For those who celebrate, I wish you a happy and safe Halloween! Bonne fin de semaine!  Mme Emily

Bonjour, Our class is still looking for a volunteer for Friday morning. If you can come, please sign up, it would be greatly appreciated.

Today, we also expanded on our health conversation from yesterday by writing about good health in our journals and drawing at least three different healthy habits. Afterwards, the students had music with Mme Edgett and centre time. During centre time, we did some painting! At the end of the day, I introduced the final three letter sounds, "X", "Y", and "Z". The students were so excited that we've reached the of the alphabet. We will continue practicing letter sound and identifying them in our classroom songs and vocabulary.

Bonjour, Today we talked about health, what it means to be healthy, and healthy habits. I loved hearing what the students had to contribute to this conversation. They said so much more than I thought they would! I put some of the quotes from our discussion below. “Don’t watch too much television” - H.Y “Don’t eat too much sugar” - J.A “There’s also one more vegetable thing that’s healthy, there a circle that’s red, it’s called a tomato. It’s healthy because it has seeds inside of it” - M.F “When I was sick, sleep helped me get better” E.G “You have to wash your hands so all the germs come off.” - D.C Today, we had gym outside because there were performers setting up in the gym. The students got play on the park and then played a game of noodle tag. After gym, we ate a quick snack and went to watch an opera show with the rest of the school. I think it was interesting for the students to see a style of performance that they aren'...
