Bonjour!

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

This week we will be continuing with writing traits. Last week the kids wrote some great stories where we worked on the "beginning, middle, end" concepts. We will continue with adding onto that as well as basic writing traits...ie. finger space between words, period at the end of a sentence.

Reading books will be sent home tomorrow. Your child can read the books with you and then they fill out the 'homework log' sheet and write the title of the book(s) they read. If you could please initial to verify you read with them that would be great.

If you find your child may be having difficulty with the books I gave them here are a few things you can do:

• have them pick out words they can read.
• show you how they follow from left to right using their index finger while you read to them.
• ask them questions about the pictures and what they think could be happening.

In math we will continue counting in ascending and descending order from 0-20 / 20-0

We are slowly integrating skip counting by 2 and 5 as well up to 20 and back. Feel free to practice this at home as well

Another thing is that our Terry Fox Run is this week in the soccer field and are asking each child for a $1 donation. Merci!

Here is an alphabet song we have been listening to in class

Bonjour,

Just a reminder about "Festival du livre" this week. Our class will be going in tomorrow, Tuesday the 22nd to purchase books at 9:50am so if you wish to send money with your child that would be great. There is also the option of family night, tomorrow as well, from 2:30 to 6pm where you can come in and purchase books with your child.

Have a great Monday,
M. Angelini

It was great meeting you at Meet the Teacher last week.
Last week I read with each student and will begin sending books home beginning mid-week. Along with that will be a sheet where your child will write the title of the book he/she read and you can initial.
The kids wrote a little book on Friday and we will continue with writing tomorrow.

Here are a few links to French websites; games, videos, stories, etc
