The month of September will soon be behind us. We have had a great first month en 3e année. The month of October will be filled with many fun Halloween activities. Stay tuned :)French - This week we will review oral structures taught to date. We will continue with:1) "Ma grandeur"...my height2) "Ce que j'aime à l'école"...what I like at school3) "Ce que je n'aime pas à l'école"...what I do not like at school.Record nightly on the sheet the particular book that your child has read. Books need to be returned daily so that they can continue to read all 19 books. Once completed, we will commence "guided reading" and "Daily 5.” Likewise, we continue to learn new letters and sounds en Français. Sheets will be sent home to read once rehearsed in class.Math - We continue to work on our Numbers unit. Students are learning many new terms in French. Our objective continues to be read/representing numbers greater than 100, skip counting to 100, place value, and estimation. Students also received a math textbook, which will remain in class. Textbooks are new to students, so they are being taught how to read the books then transfer and answer questions from the text to their binders. Notices: 1)  Please check my teacher page, reading bag, and agenda's nightly for any notices, homework, etc.2)  Fall Fair this Friday from 4:30 to 6:30.As always, if you have any questions, comments, and/or concern please contact me :) I am more than willing to help. Let's have another great week at St. Andrews Elementary.

         Welcome back.Please know that your child is doing well and I am very pleased with their results thus far. It is very special to be learning a second language. Please stay tuned for a special video presentation next week. French - This week students will continue to concentrate on what makes them unique. Discussions, readings and written activities will incorporate the following: I have x hair…”J’ai les cheveux x” I have x eyes…”J’ai les yeux x”          I am bigger and/or smaller than…”Je suis plus grand(e) que, plus petit(e) que etc. At present, we are concentrating on sight words. Spelling words will not be sent home as they are practiced extensively in class throughout our daily activities. Students have also seen and practiced all the vowels and we will move on to consonants. Math - We will also begin our unit on numbers. Aside from learning the terminology in French, our objective is to read and represent numbers greater than 100, skip count to 100, place value, and estimation.
