Happy Monday everyone,
I hope you had a great week end. This morning we had a fabulous presentation put on my the Muli family choir all the way from Kenya. It was great to hear them sing, show off their karate skills not to mention their acrobatics. They will be playing a concert this Friday at St. Mike's church. Entry is a donation of your choice. I hope to go. We also had Constable Hartman come in and talk to us about using our tools to help solve our problems.

Wednesday is also our Marion literacy. It is starting at 2:00. If you can make it we would love to see you. Mom's please be sure to come out so we can celebrate you!

Thursday the 12th Mme Jacqueline and Mme Katarina's class will be putting on a movie night to raise money for their entrepreneurial project. You can still purchase tickets. Tickets are $ 5.00. Doors open around 6:00, movie starts at 6:30. You can purchase snacks there. All proceeds go to WWF.
Please be sure to send in the two permission forms (Butterfield Acres, French Play St. Rose) if you have not done so yet.
I hope the ice cream reading challenge is going well! We only have a couple of students who are still waiting to read their English sight words and French sentences. Keep working on them at home!

In Math, we have finished up shapes and are now working on measurement. This is another quick unit but the kids love learning all about it.

I hope to finish up building things in science this week and moving onto plants and animals.
In Social studies, we continue to learn about the province we live in, surrounding areas as well as the provinces and territories that Canada is made up of. We are having a little trouble understanding the different between province and country. Feel free to explain !
In English, we are working on putting sentences together and building on ideas to make a short story. We continue to review blends, vowel combinations and sight words.

I think that's it for this week. Have a good one.
Keep smiling!
