Welcome back everyone! A reminder to parents that parent- teacher interviews will be held this Thursday evening (Nov 21st) and Friday morning (Nov 22nd). There will be no school for students on Friday. Scheduled time notices for parents/guardians interviews will be sent home Wednesday along with their report card.
This week is also Bully Awareness Week. Special activites will be held throughout the week to promote awareness.
French - Last week students completed a writing assignment based on their family. Students utilized their dictionary, class word wall and “ideas web” to describe and create a book based on their family. They will remain on display outside our classroom for the remainder of the week then sent home to be read. We will continue to discuss “family” as our theme once again and move on to discuss our birthdays and anniversaries time permitting.
Guided reading continues. Please ensure students are reading nightly and recording their books in their record sheets. Again, these are books that have been well rehearsed in class and should take no longer than 10-15 minutes to complete.
Math - This week’s focus will be on estimation as part of our 3rd unit in math. Students will enrich their vocabulary in math by learning the following terms: une estimation, estimer, une dizaine, une somme, and environ. Students will apply estimation strategies in order to predict and answer addition and subtration questions.
Reminders:
- Parent-teacher interviews Thursday evening and Friday morning
- Reading is to occur nightly
- School Book Fair November 19th and 20th. Book pamphlet was sent home last week.
Let’s have a great week. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
