Welcome back to another great week in French Immersion. We had a wonderful first week back. I enjoyed listening to everyone’s holiday stories and proud at the fact that everyone quickly pulled up their sleeves and was ready to continue learning in French. Please note that the Social Studies component of the course will be incorporated into our studies. Students will begin to learn about the province of New Brunswick. English classes have commenced as well. My students will be taught by Madame Prince and I will be teaching English to her students.French - Birthdays and anniversaries will be the topic of discuss this week in class. Students will be reading, writing and speaking with this theme in mind. Guided reading/Daily 5 and spelling of high frequency words continues on a daily basis as well. Students have made great gains and are on track with their reading and writing. Please ensure that students read their take home books nightly to provided them with an extra opportunity to masters their vocabulary, sounds, comprehension, and fluidity.  Math - In math, we have begun our unit on Patterns. Students have a good understanding of the concepts thought thus far and we are simply furthering our knowledge by going beyond the objectives of the unit and dig a little deeper with the use of word problems and oral discussions to test for understanding.
