January Newsletter

Bonjour!  Happy New Year!  Welcome back to school.  I hope that everyone had a nice holiday, full of cheer, family, friends and fun. 

Here’s what’s happening this month…

E.L.A.: We will be studying the author Jan Brett.  She is an author and illustrator with a phenomenal imagination and creative flare.  At the end of the unit, the children will be writing their own stories using Jan Brett as an inspiration!  We will continue regular class routines.      

Français:  We will be doing some activities about winter (l’hiver) and working with Mme Beauregard with some ICT activities regarding “l’hiver”. We will start “The Daily Five” in French. We will also continue regular class routines.

Sciences Humaines: We will be focusing on the Indigenous people of Manitoba.  We will learn about their ways of life from long ago and compare it to present day Manitoba.

Mathématiques:  Our main focus this month will be double digit subtraction.  We will also be doing a unit called “Mitten Math”.  This unit encompasses a great variety of concepts such as probability, adding, subtracting, number sense, money, graphing, word problems, patterning, measuring, etc.  There are also great math literacy activities that are part of this unit.  We will continue regular class routines and activities.

Thank you and have a great month.
