Bonjour,

Please do not send students to school with lunch boxes, we will not be bringing our backpacks or lunch kits to the Science Center.  *Please make sure that the snack is nut- and chocolate- free; there are severe allergies in the other class that will be going with us tomorrow.*

Today, we did the number 10 (dix)  in math. We worked on our lapboards first and then copied the work into our workbooks. 


We also started using hockey pucks in gym. M. Trevor set up small hurdle to serve as nets and obstacles all over the gym and the boys and girls took turns playing offensive and defensive roles.

We ended the day with reading buddies. I asked the grades 2 students to do some pre-reading work with the kindergarten students by asking them to look at the pictures and make predictions. They also did some post-reading work by counting things in the pictures, identifying colours in French, and naming some of the letters and letter sounds that they hear/see in the book.

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!
