Bonjour Parents,

The shortest, yet very busy month, has come to an end!  We had many class activities during the month that kept us very busy.  The children worked really hard and had a great time with all the festivities. 

Thank you to the volunteers who provided snack for our V-day party and helped out with in class activities.

Here’s what’s in store for this month…

E.L.A. – We will continue with our unit on Indigenous Legends.  We will continue reading legends, talking about the components of a legend and then it’ll be the children’s turn to write a legend on their own.  We will continue with regular class routines.

Sciences de la nature - We will be starting les solides, les liquides et les gazes once we have finished learning about the Cree nation.  This unit will include an inquiry project that we will be working with Mme Beauregard (teacher librarian) as well.

Français – We will be starting Reader’s Theatre in French. Once it’s completed, we will present them to our grade four French Reading Buddies and I’ll record them to send out via e-mail.  We will start “Show & Tell” and continue with our classroom routines
