Welcome back to another week in 3G! We have a busy two weeks ahead of us filled with many fun activities prior to vacation time. * A note to parents/guardians that I will be away attending Immersion meetings in Moncton on Tuesday. French - We will be commencing a new theme this week. We are moving on from what makes us unique and discuss our favorite activities and pass times. This theme is our 8th within the French Immersion curriculum. Students will learn to say “Je préfère, j’adore, je joue, je fais”, etc and incorporate these structures into their reading and writings as well. We continue as well to collaborate with Mrs. Comeau in preparation for our Christmas concert on the 17th. We are adding a special twist to one of our songs and incorporating various French verses to one of them. We have a dress rehearsal Friday and I look forward to seeing students sing. Please ensure reading occurs nightly and that students are recording their books into their reading logs. I have extra copies in class once their first sheet is complete. Montre et Raconte continues to be a hit with students. Presenters look forward to presenting their item everyday at 2:30 prior to dismissal. Another French teacher came by to visit and was very impressed with their level of French thus far in the year. Bravo mes amis! Math - We continue to practice our numbers orally up to 1000 and mental math strategies (i.e. doubles +/- 1, 2 etc, making 10, estimation, rounding). Our “Tour du Monde” mental math activity has been a success with students in class and they really enjoy learning their +/- facts. Congratulations to the students for writing their second math unit test of the year. Please ensure tests are signed and returned. The adding and subtracting unit will be revisited in the spring providing students the opportunity to master concepts taught and expand their knowledge even further. We continue to provide support for our answers and learn to write out our answers in French. Reminders: -   Reading is to occur nightly. Please record on sheet. -   Please sign your child’s agenda to let me know you have reviewed homework. -   Library Thursday -  St. Andrew’s Christmas Concert December 17th -  Skating commences December 18th -  December Scholastic orders due the 11th  Let's have a great week!
