Monday, November 4th

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, Our class is still looking for a volunteer for Friday morning. If you can come, please sign up, it would be greatly appreciated. During our French circle time this morning, we practiced saying how old we are in French, which is a part of this month's homework. 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 was a busy day for the students of room 9. We talked about the changing seasons and the colours that we see in autumn. We also discussed the story of Terry Fox and why he is a Canadian hero. Following our discussion, we listened to a French song about Terry Fox which you can find here ; I encouraged the kids to sing along with the chorus of "Je cours come Terry...Terry Fox". Finally, in gym class, the students practiced for the run by running around the field for 20 minutes! We had a couple students who did 8 laps! During centre time today, the students worked together to build huge towers out blocks!
