Bonne année- 2016!

Dear parent(s)/guardian(s),
A very happy new year to all of you. Hopefully the winter break was relaxing and a good opportunity for some great family fun!

Updates for 2016:

1.Show and Tell (Montre et raconte)- As soon as students enter the classroom after the winter break, they are filled with stories about what gifts they received, or the places they went to or activities they took part in. Starting Monday, Jan. 4th, students are asked to bring a show and tell of their choice (e.g., picture, toy, card). For a different spin on the traditional activity, students will guess who brought what item in. 

2. Holiday Memory Book- Students are asked to think of their favourite holiday outing or gift. We will share the memories and then bind them all together to make a class book.

3. New Year's Resolution- Returning from winter break is the perfect time to reflect upon the past year and to make positive changes for the new year. We will discuss what goals we have as a class (e.g., projects, trips, etc.).

4. Dictée- This week, we will continue to practice the sound /in/. The words are derived from the story ''Ou est mon lutin", which will be sent home this week. Here are the new dictation words for January 8th.
1.  Le matin  (the morning)
2.  Le pain    (the bread)  
3.  Le pantin  (the puppet)
4.  Le poussin  (the chick)
5.  Le médecin  (the doctor)

I look forward to seeing everyone in good health and high spirits!
