See you in the virtual Google Classroom!

Bonjour

Thank you for sending in your animals pictures. Students were so proud to share information about them and their care with the class.
Students learned that domestic animals need 4 things to survive:
-water
-air
-food
-shelter

It has come to our attention that there is a "Stealing club" in grade one and that objects have been going missing. Mostly in other classes. Although I don't believe any of our students were involved, it turned out they did know about the club's existence. Please help us by both speaking with your child and by leaving special toys, electronics and objects at home.

Tomorrow we are discussing how to take care of domestic animals. If you have an animal at home, please email me a picture.

Students are having lots of fun and learning all kinds of moves with AJ and M. Trevor. Our dance assembly is Monday at 5:30-6 in the gym. We hope you can make it!

Home reading tonight: Où sont les trèfles? We are learning all sorts of new words for la Saint-Patrick. Which ones can your child tell you? Can your child come up with a sentence using one of two of the words?

Hand washing: Students are encouraged to wash their hands frequently throughout the day, especially before eating. They are also being taught to cough into their elbows and to avoid touching their faces (especially mouths).

Bonjour

Students really enjoyed the Calgary Opera this morning. Their behaviour and attention was fantastic!

Do you have a pet? If so, please email me a picture. We are going to be learning about the needs of domestic animals and I thought it would be fun for the kids to see their animals in a powerpoint (ideally before Thursday). Merci!

Bonjour

This week we will be reviewing the sounds ch, ou and oi. Please review the words for the past several weeks as I want to ensure students have a solid grasp of these complex sounds before we continue to add new ones.

In Science we grouped animals by a common characteristic. (They are all reptiles, they can all swim, they all have scales...). Ask your child about how they make an animal group.

Important Dates
Tuesday March 10: Calgary Opera presentation (please discuss audience manners)

March 16: Sounds Kreations performance 5:30-6:00
April 3: Grade 1 Bonhomme presentation in the gym (see invitation in previous Blogger post).

You are invited
