Trips in December

Dear parent(s)/guardian(s),
Students have brought home permission forms for two school wide excursions our class will be participating in during December.

1. Young People's Theatre (YPT) - Tuesday, December 6th, 2016

2. Le théâtre français - Thursday, December 8th, 2016

For both trips, students will travel by school bus to watch a theatrical piece. Only ONE parent volunteer will be required to help out.

Please make sure your child comes prepared with the following items:
- comfortable clothing
- a lunch and adequate snacks
-a small bag to carry the lunch

Merci!

Il fait froid!

THE COLD WEATHER HAS ARRIVED!

 The cold weather has arrived.  Many children are coming to school with the proper attire and some are not. Unless the temperature is significantly below zero and we are directed to keep the children in for recess and lunch, they will not be allowed to stay inside just because they find it too cold. 

Let’s make sure we are all warm as we confront these cold winter months.

Here is a list of the important pieces of clothing that should be worn during these cold winter months:  

- a warm, heavy coat

-waterproof and weatherproof boots 

-warm, waterproof gloves

-snow pants

-  hat 

- scarf

-  layered sweaters

In your child’s bag, it would be beneficial for your son/daughter to have the following:

-  an extra pair of warm socks

-  an extra pair of warm gloves

-an extra pair of pants

Let’s do the best we can to keep warm and healthy over the winter.

C'est quoi la paix?

Remembrance day (le jour du souvenir) is a time for us to reflect on the character trait, empathy. One day every year, we pay special tribute to those who died in service to their country. For one brief moment of our life, we remember why we must work for peace every day.

The class and I read the book entitled ''C'est quoi, la paix?'' and brainstormed ideas of what peace means to us all. To my surprise my students came up with amazing responses. We are in the process of making a booklet and presenting our responses in the form of a video. Take a look!
