December

Bonjour,

As we enter the month of December we will be learning and using related vocabulary for Christmas. This will be in our writing--which will be focused on writing letters (to friends, family and of course, Santa).

Christmas Concert: The concert will be held for families on Tuesday December 15th at 1PM.

Here is a website you can explore at home...

This Wednesday

One thing I forgot to mention about this week: Wednesday students can dress up in their cultural garb or wear the colors of their family background.

Diversity Week

Bonjour,

Thank you to all for coming to parent-teacher interviews. It was great meeting you all and chatting about your child's progress.

This week Spring Park will be focusing on Diversity Week--celebrating all the different backgrounds and cultures of our students and their families. Each morning we will begin with a National Anthem of a different country (represented by out students). Each day there will also be an activity of a different culture as well.

Class 1E will have a couple of guest speakers come in and do a presentation as well. If this is of interest to you, please contact me and we can try and make a time for you to come in.

Tomorrow I will be sending home a Family Tree activity. This is a great activity to do with your child to help them learn where they and their ancestors are from and can bring fourth lots of discussion. Please try and complete and return this by Wednesday at the latest if possible.


Friday will cap off Diversity week with a school assembly in the afternoon. Looking forward to it.


Bonne fin de semaine!

Remembrance Day Week

Bonjour!

This week is a short one as we will not be in school Wednesday for Remembrance Day. We will be back Thursday.

Last week we began descriptive writing. We will continue doing this for the month of November.

In math we are beginning to do addition & subtraction math facts up to 20 by 0, 1 and 2.

If you wish to do any work at home with your children, feel free to write facts on recipe cards and have them read back the answer. Doing this in either English or French is great.


exp: 7+2=                12-2=

This weeks words and structures that we will be working on are:

Je suis allé(e)
qu'est-ce que
salut
les
hier
