Dear Parents,
Many thanks to those of you who were able to help us out with the Apple Crisp and the Ice Cream. The children enjoyed it immensely!
Back by popular demand, we will host another Gala d'art oratoire this year. The annual "Gala d'art oratoire" will take place May 26 at Cardel Theatre (180 Quarry Park Blvd. SE). The Gala d'art oratoire is not a competition, but rather a celebration of French! It's an opportunity for every student to showcase the skills they've gained over the years. Please do look for a poem that your child can practice at home. You could google poeme francais or Jean de la Fontaine and you will find several French poems.
We are learning about Bats for our English Unit. Today the children learned amazing facts about bats. Please ask them to share at least ten things they learned.
Have a great weekend!

February 2nd 2018
Dear Parents,
There are some important messages in the Agenda. As well, if possible, could you please send a 4L bottle of milk or water cut in half at home with your child on Monday? I would like the part with the handle which would serve as a nose for the Mardi Gras mask. I have also asked the kids to bring an old shirt to school on Monday.
Many thanks to all the parent Volunteers and have a good weekend!

Dear Parents,
Thank you to those who were able to join us for our in-class field trip! The Grade 2’s learned about the Acadians who live in Meteghan and got to make butter, paint light houses and practice weaving.
February will be a busy month!
Important Dates and Reminders:
Friday, February 9th, Carnaval: We will spend the day playing games in celebration of Carnaval. We hope to also see you at the Mardi Gras family dance that evening beginning at 6:00 pm.
Tuesday, February 13, We will be making Apple Crisp and ice cream (at 9:00 am) for our Science Unit on Hot and Cold. Please remember to bring an apple already sliced in a Ziploc bag. Please let me know if you can assist with this.
Thursday, February 15th –Monday February 19th No School due to Teacher’s Convention and Family Day.
We will begin In-Line skating the week of Monday, February 26th
What we will learn about in February:
English: We will finish discussing Charlotte’s Web and will have a Unit test on Monday February 5th. We will also begin our new Unit on Bats. Story-writing skills using a beginning, middle and end will be ongoing.
Sciences: We will conclude our Hot and Cold Science unit and begin discussing liquids.
Social Studies: We will continue to learn about the culture and traditions in Iqaluit, Meteghan and Saskatoon.
Math: We will learn addition and subtraction strategies with answers up to 100 both with and without regrouping. We will also practice problem solving. Please practice these skills with your child at home.
French: We are learning about French grammar (nouns, proper nouns, adjectives, etc). We will continue to also enhance reading and writing skills by writing stories and completing reading comprehension texts.
Religion: We are learning about Jesus’ life as a child by reading Bible stories. We are also learning about important symbols in the Church.
Health: We are learning about Healthy Habits.
Music: We will distinguish among the sounds of common musical instruments.
I will require a little help in preparing for the paper mache project on Monday. If you can
come for half an hour tomorrow morning, it will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
