What will we learn about this Month?
We will have our
morning of Christmas crafts on the 18th of December. Please let me know at your earliest convenience
if you can volunteer in class.
English: We will
continue reading Charlottes’s Web and review discussion questions. We will also
do some Christmas activities.
French: We are going
to work on reading comprehension and writing skills to expand our French
language vocabulary. Here are the sites, we will be using in the classroom.
Health: We have been
talking about bullying in the classroom and what it looks like at school. The children have done some role plays and we
have discussed the strategies to confront bullying situations with
courage. We will watch videos and
continue our understanding of the subject.
Math: We will work on
our unit on patterns and relations and place value. We will work on
demonstrating and explaining the meaning of equality and inequality. We started
adding numbers with regrouping with manipulatives and on the board. Please ask
your child the strategy they learned and continue practicing this skill at
home.
Music: We will
practice our Christmas songs and learn more specific details about music notes.
Please, encourage your child to sing along Christmas carols in French using
this site:
Religion: We will
begin the new unit, The Road to Bethlehem to prepare for the seasons of Advent

temperature in degrees Celsius.
