Hello all and Happy Friday!


This week we spent a lot of time acknowledging Orange Shirt Day. We read three books together: Shi-Shi-Etko (Nicola I. Campbell), When We Were Alone (David Robertson), and Les Mots Volés (Melanie Florence). At the end of the week we made orange paper T-shirts explaining why we matter, and why Every Child Matters.



In English we started working on opinion writing! We learned about how to structure a paragraph and provide interesting evidence! Students explained their opinions on dogs vs cats, chocolate vs vanilla, rain vs snow, and summer vs winter! There were some pretty funny and awesome opinion pieces that the students wrote up. Next week I'd like to have students share their writing pieces with the class!


In math we continued to work on place value and we started skip-counting today! It looks like we have a strong grasp on counting by 5s and 10s but need more practice counting by 3s and 4s! We will do more of this next week!

In French we talked about the silent -ent conjugation that we see on the end third person plural verbs! We read a book called Une Fete Chic and practiced reading these verbs (and acting them out!) without pronouncing those three silent letters! We also continued to work on our circles project..here's a sneak peek of a few finished products..



Enjoy your weekend and Happy October!

Salut! Thank you to all those who came out to parent-teacher conferences last week - it was wonderful to get to chat with all of you about your students' learning and progress. We had a very exciting week this week! You may have heard about the Top Secret Mission that Mme Devitt tasked us with.... She asked our to class create a Kindness/Wellness Board for the whole school! Students wrote some thoughtful, kind, and supportive messages on sticky notes and posted them to a "Take One, Share One, Leave One" board. Students were SO excited to be doing this awesome project for the school. Check it out on our school's twitter account!   We are continuing to work on literacy stations in our class in both French and English. Here are some pictures of students working through their stations! In math we are learning about how to solve addition and subtraction word problems. We've been spending a lot of time practicing and learning how to carry-over (addition) and borrow (sub...

Happy Mother's day ! A few more memories of the Coulee visits this year.  On May 4th we went to the Coulee and the children discovered the joy of land art.  This taking things found on the forest floor or stream and creating art!   Some creative writing combined with art, using adjectives in both French and English! Still working on our Ukrainian eggs when we have a little extra time!!!  Watching our bean seeds germinate and grow!
