Welcome back! A reminder that Monday is a professional learning day for all teachers and support staff. I look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday and discussing what everybody did during their extended weekend. French - This week we will undertake a writing activity about winter seeing that “Old Man Winter” has not been very cooperative lately. With that being said students will be introduced to new terminology and continue to utilize our high frequency words on display on our word wall as well as their French dictionaries. 6+1 writing trait mini lessons are also incorporated into our routine prior to any writing activity. This week we will be focusing on “organization” and “word choice” as part of our mini lessons. Our video presentation was filmed last week. I am currently in post-production. My goal is to have the video up on my page by next Monday. Please continue to read at home each night. Do not hesitate to ask your child questions pertaining to the 5 "w's" (who, what, where, when, why) to challenge them further. Math - We continue with our 4th unit. This week we will be studying the calendar and seasons as a measure of time. Word problems will also be studied and dissected in order to find key words/phrases. Social Studies – This week we will be exploring the larger urban areas of NB as well as the difference between what is an urban area and what is a rural area? We will also compare our province in terms of populations and size to other provinces and territories in Canada. From there, students will learn about various bodies of water in and around NB. Below, I have provided a link describing various terms, locations, and means of transportation in French. http://safeshare.tv/w/vtdNkaZSpX Reminders:   - Reading is to occur nightly - Please sign agendas and reading log sheets.
