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 en français. 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. French - Last week we picked up where we left off prior to the holidays and continued learning about our favorite pastimes. This week our focus will be where and with whom we partake in our favorite pastimes. Upon completion of this block, students will begin to incorporate the processes of writing/traits as we continue to expand our writing and vocabulary. Guided reading/Daily 5 continues on a daily basis as well. Students have made great gains and are on track with their reading. 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 deep 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. * Please note that weekly Friday quizzes will continue. Advance notice/practice will be sent home. Quizzes will either cover mental math strategies and/or unit related questions. Reminders: -  Reading is to occur nightly -  Please sign your child’s agenda nightly -  Library Thursday -  Computer lab Friday -  Scholastic orders due Jan 24th Let’s have a great week. If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Welcome back to another week in 3G! Our daily routine will fluctuate this week due to the many activities planned. French - We continue to learn new vocabulary as we progress through our activities and favorite pastimes unit. We will complete our Christmas vocabulary dictionary this week as well. 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. Math - This week, I will be using our time to review our past 2 units that we have covered thus far. 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. 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 is Tuesday December 17th at 12:30. -  Skating Wednesday morning from 8:30 to 10.

Welcome back folks! I would like to welcome Jacob Fraser to our class. He is a transfer student from Moncton. We are glad to have Jacob as part of our team Jacob! French - Birthdays and anniversaries will continue be the topic of discussion this week in class. Students will be reading, writing and speaking the following terms: “L’anniversaire de naissance de____ est le_____,” “joyeuse anniversaire”, “je suis né(e) en 2004 ou 2005”, etc. With 3 more weeks left until vacation, we are also continuing with the development of our draft letters to Santa/Elf on the shelf. Next week we will complete our good copy and they will be sent the North Pole before Canada Post's December 16th deadline Our French holiday dictionary is nearing completion. Students have learned many new seasonal words to add to their expanding repertoire. We will be incorporating various words into our writing pieces and singing.

Montre et Raconte has been a great success thus far. This activity provides an authentic situation for students to describe, practice, and speak in French.
