September

Tomorrow, October 1st, I will be sending home a new home reading log. It is part of the Boston Pizza home reading program. Students can earn a certificate for a free kid's meal if they read for 20 minutes, 20 days of the month. They should be reading in English and French each day. I do expect them to read each evening but they will earn the coupon for completing the 20 days. Please let me know if your child requires any assistance choosing French books. CD's are available. Thanks!

Please read the blog entry we wrote together as a class this afternoon:

T-shirts - We wrote what we did on our summer vacation. We said what we liked the most. We tried our best to draw good pictures and decorate the whole t-shirt. We had to do really good printing. 

We are doing collages of our names. We traced our face and are cutting out things we like to make a collage of our silhouette. Mme read us an art book. 

Apples - We wrote about ourselves and our favourite things on these apples. We drew what we liked to do the most on them.

Science - We watched a video about gravity with Bill Nye the Science Guy! We are learning about push and pull and other forces.

Social Studies - Mme gave us a puzzle to work together and finish it. We are learning how to work as a group!

ELA - We started to write in our journals and we got to name them. Mme is reading The Boxcar Children to us and we're drawing our favourite scenes. We are learning about contractions. Mme read us a book about Nelly McClung, it was a biography.

Français - We started reading French books in groups. We wrote about what we like and don't like at recess. We talked about what we did on the week-end. We read Ours écoute. Ask me what it was about! We played bingo in French. We are starting to learn cursive handwriting.

Math - We did addition, subtraction, patterns, equal and unequal, graphs, number of the day and we played lots of math games!

Book Buddies - We play games and read with Mme Pelletier's grade 1 students.

Library - Day 1 is our library day.
