Sorry for not posting the last two weeks. I finally figured out what was going on with my blog! Sometimes technology and me are not the greatest friends! I hope you all had a great week and are ready for the last full week of November! Can you believe it, I sure cant.
The Christmas concert is right around the corner. We still have a ways to go with our song and putting all the actions together. Please practice the song at home with your child when you get a chance. Mme Wilma was in today and told us we need to pronounce the first line of Deck the Halls better. I guess we sounded all mumbled.
We continue to collect change for the turkeys, however its a bit slow. Thank-you to all of you who have been helping out. Keep up the great work and keep the small change coming in. I have contact the Drop In and they have happily excepted our donation again this year. I will keep you all posted. I will be needing volunteers to help sell candy canes at the Christmas Concert next week. I usually go in shifts and then during the concert I have usually weaseled Mike and a couple of my friends into selling them. If you are interested in helping out please let me know.
This is a short week, this week seeing that we have parent teacher conference Thursday night and all day Friday, so no school Friday. I look forward to chatting with you. If you have any questions about the report card please bring it along with you to discuss. At the conference you are encouraged to stop by the annual book fair. This will be set up in the gym. The students will be able to preview what the book fair has on Wednesday during their library time. They usually write a wish list that they take home with them. There will also be a class wish list there for you to donate books to your child's classroom. You can also go on the hunt for missing items that your child may have lost at school. This is usually set up in the hall but may be found in the gym. Keep your eyes open!
Sprit day is on Thursday, in honor Movember the students are encouraged to sport a mustache. We have no school on Monday, the teachers have PD day.
We are having a great time trying fruits and veggies in class. Every day the students as me what they are trying! Thanks again for helping make this happen. Also in French, the students are learning the proper names of body parts. The students are also working on their French rhyming skills.
In Math, the students are starting to learn about simple addition up to 20. We have started to count up to 50 now in French and have been working on counting by 10's up to 100. Please take some time to help them with this in French.
In Science, this week I hope to introduce the students to Helen Keller. They will also learn about braille and will write their own names in braille.
That is all for this week, just a quick update. Have a great week and be safe I hear a storm is on its way.

Welcome to November!
Welcome back from a long week end everyone. I hope you had a great time out and about with your little trick or treater's! I am sure your children got lots of yummy treats. Please remember to limit the amount of treats that your put in your child's lunch.
This week we are going to take the chance to finish up projects and start our new theme of Fruits and Vegetables. I sent home last week a list with all your children's name on it with a fruit and vegetable for a specific day. Please let me know if you have not received that paper and Ill send along a new one. I hope that your child loves this project and takes advantage of the opportunity to try new things. There will be a booklet that goes home after the project which you can use to help you pack healthy lunches.
In French, we continue to work on phonemic awareness. So far the students have been identifying the beginning sounds of words as well as the ending sounds. This week we are going to look further into syllables as well as what makes up a sentence. Students will be required to identify the number of words in a sentence. They often mistake two or more syllable words for being more than one word. The students have started to work on combined sounds in French. It would be a huge advantage for them if they had the opportunity to practice these at home, look for them in their books or sight words. This will make them more aware and help them decode later on. So far we have covered the following sounds, OU (loup), OI ( oiseau) CH (chat), ON (cochon)
This week in Math students will be focusing on representing numbers with objects. They will then divide the number of objects into two parts. For example 10 blocks, divide them into two parts, 5 on one side and 5 on the other. This them shows them that 5 and 5 make 10 or 5+5=10. This is something very simple you can do at home to help your child start to understand the concept of addition. We continue to also count to 20-1 and have started to count by 10's.
We will be using our senses when tasting the fruits and vegetables, which ties into our new Science theme. Students will learn to identify which part of their taste buds they will be using. We also will be discussing how our senses helps keep us safe.
In social studies, we are looking at the world around us and how we are apart of much more than just a community. Students are starting to learn about the province they live in and the country they are apart of. I will send along some websites for you to play and explore at home that may help.
In English, we are review all letter sounds as well as vowel sounds. They students continue to work on Explode the code at their own pace. We will also be looking at beginning, middle and ending sounds and rhyming words.
In Health, students are learning proper brushing and flossing techniques. I told them a story of when I was young, my dad use to sing to me " Yellow Submarin" by the beatles if I didn't brush my teeth. He said that's what my teeth would look like haha. So when I brush my teeth I hummed the song. They got a kick out that and wanted to see the music video! So I apologize if the end up singing that!
That's all for now I believe.
Have a great week!
