Warmer Weather On It's Way?!

I was so happy to see the warmer weather that is projected for this next week! The students were so excited for the two outside recesses we did get last week. Just a reminder to ensure your child comes well dressed in each day, even if it seems to cold to be out. We go outside if the windchill is -27C or warmer.

This week:

Tuesday- Mass at 9:30 at St. Anthony's
              - Scholastics are due
Wednesday- Early Dismissal at 2:30
                  - Library (Please return books Tuesday)
Thursday- SCC Hot Lunch

Words we are working on this week: We are still working the "on" sound, so will continue our words from last week: ils sont, un ballon, bon, un chaton

New: L to J Numbers has been changed now in 2015 to something we call Math Profiles. Math Profile quizzes are 8 questions like L to J Numbers were however they deal with all different strands of our Math curriculum. We will continue with all time bests! Just like L to J Numbers, this is a formative assessment to help students see what they already know and what they have yet to learn. You will get a chance to look at this at Student Led Conferences at the end of the month.

New: Strategy  of the week: Each week we will be focusing on a different reading strategy as a class. In the Take Home Reading pouch you should have different coloured pages on a ring. This is for you to refer to and help your child practice the strategy when they read to you at home. This week's strategy is Look at the Pictures.

Highlight from last week: We started our 5th element of Daily 5: Work on Words. Here is an example of a student working with Wiki Sticks! As well as a pair of student enjoying "Reading with others"

Have a great week!
