Backwards Day!
Today is the Panther Assembly and what better way to celebrate the end of January with an exciting "Backwards Day"! In class, we will be doing an activity regarding a palindrome. A palindrome is a word, phrase, or number whose meaning may be interpreted the same way in either forward or reverse direction.

Bienvenue à 2014!
Dear parents/guardians,
Welcome back! I am excited to begin the next chapter of our learning this term. I would like to update you on the concepts we will be learning in January.
In Language, we are beginning poetry. We will develop rhyming patterns in our writing procedures and read nursery rhymes, poems, and songs.
In Mathematics, we are wrapping up with problem solving questions regarding addition, subtraction, and money. We will begin the Measurement unit next week, wherein we will measure length, height, and distance using standard and non-standard units. In addition, we will use tally charts to gather information and represent it on bar graphs and pictographs.
In Science, we will put our "construction hats" on and delve into the unit on Movement. Students will discuss the six types of simple machines and use hands on materials in class to experiment with forces of movement. Take a look at the following link for introductory videos on simple machines:

Language Points System
I understand students have just returned from the winter break, however, please encourage and remind your child to continue speaking in French in class. It is a requirement that the student speaks French throughout the entire instructional day. With the start of a new year, comes a new points system. When students speak English in class, they will accumulate points. Once the student reaches 10 points, a note will be sent home for you to sign, acknowledging that the student needs to make more of an effort using French. Together, you and I can work as a team to help your child attain a love for French and speak French with myself and his/her classmates.
I am already keeping track of some exceptional students who never forget to communicate in French, even outside of class. Bravo!

Week at a glance in room 112!
Monday, December 16 – Pyjama Day
Tuesday, December 17- Twin Day
Wednesday, Decemeber 18- Sports Day
Thursday, December 19- Festive Wear Day
This Thursday is Clairlea Spirit Day! The students and I have decided
that it would be grand to have a party in the afternoon to celebrate our time
together, our ups and downs, and to send best wishes for a wonderful winter break and
an excellent start to the New Year. Everyone is invited to wear purple to
school for the day. I will bring some treats for everyone and would be
delighted if families wanted to send in some additional food items.
However, due to some student dietary restrictions, please do not send in foods containing the
following ingredients:
-
nuts of any kind
-
eggs
-
soy
-
gelatin
In addition, before going home for the break, students will receive a
homework package for Mathematics and Language practice, as well as the new dictée
words for Friday, January 10th, 2014.
Un grand merci!
