Bonjour,
Yearbook sales are continuing until this Friday, the 31st. If you would like to purchase a yearbook for your child, you can do so for $15 through your powerschool account.
The permission slips for our February skating day have gone home. I know that there have been a lot of forms sent home in the last couple weeks, thank you for taking the time to fill them out.
Scholastic orders went home today as well. Please submit your online orders before the 6th of February. Thank you!
Today, we covered two new letter sounds; "g" and "h". The students have been doing a great job of remembering the letter sounds and their accompanying actions. If you are practicing at home together, the "g" makes a hard g sound like at the beginning of "glue" and the "h" is completely silent in French.
Today, we also practiced counting up and down in French from any point between 0 and 10. After our counting warm-up, we did some graphing! Students got to choose their favourite animals and fill in a square on a bar graph on the SMARTboard. Afterwards, we talked about what we can learn from the graph; students made observations like "our class doesn't like snakes and turtles" and "more people like cats than fish."

We ended the day with a story about being unique and had a sharing circle. Each student shared something that makes them unique. I loved that not everyone shared the same thing. Students said everything from"my hair looks gold in the sun" to "I've never been on a plane before".
