Happy Thanksgiving! Some kids have to finish their sentences about the fall picnic. It's in the agenda.
We are going to start recycling our recyclables as the school can't. We will clean out the containers and put them back in the lunch kit. I gotta go. Sorry so short!

October 4
Today we spent some time working on a turkey (dinde) with feathers that created a pattern (math). Each individual feather could've had a pattern, but more importantly, the 8 feathers should've made a pattern. I did some examples of patterns on the board and clearly explained what the students were supposed to accomplish. Have a look to see if your child got it!
The next part of our day was spent reading a story entitled La Fête d'Automne (The fall Party). Different kinds of animals each contributed to a picnic. A beaver built a sing saying: Long live autumn! A bear brought a fish and a table cloth. The kids had to listen, read, underline important parts, and then write about who brought what.
We finished the day off with a story about manners and then a bit of writing about it. I had a few kids that reeeeeally had a not-so-good day as far as listening goes. Maybe ask your child how things went?
I had all of the kids read to me today. Most are quite decent readers. We will work on our sounds next week and then start the At-Home-Reading Program.

Oh yeah! Check out the ''Links I like'' on the right side of the blog! There are two new sites that are excellent.

We worked hard on math today! I taught the kids about odd and even numbers. Could you ask them what they know? Quiz them? We did it towards the end of the day and we will continue tomorrow.
I read a book by Dr. Seuss during D.E.A.R. Mc Elligot's Pool. Ask them what they know about this book. What would be really great would be if you could become a member of my blog and then get the kids to make a comment about the story I read to them!? I have 20 students. Two were absent so that makes 18 that heard the story. If I get half of you to help the kids become members and comment about the story, that would be pretty excellent. They could type a sentence about their favourite part or anything that they remember. Good luck!
Tomorrow is LIBRARY day! Please remember to help your child remember to put his/her books in their backpack.
I hope you have a nice evening with your kids.
Cheers!

Hello all! Today was a nice Monday. We had an assembly this morning. Congratulations to Mason, Samantha and Karma for being recognized as students of the month. I also want to give a shout out to Derrick and to Alex who have been doing a wonderful job at speaking in French a lot.
We did work on patterns and on some other math concepts this morning. We did: one more than / less than and ten more than / less than. Most grasped the concept pretty easily. Others had a bit of difficulty. I showed them to use the number line in class and count one up/down or ten up/down. I also showed them, for skip counting by ten, to look for the next number on the line with a same number. That helped most. If you'd like to know how your child is doing, just give them a number and say : what is the number that is ten more than this one?
We tried to finish off our art project from last week. A ''Where's Waldo'' kind of a deal. It was fun! I will display them and then send them home later. This would be one of the things I would add to a portfolio. If you haven't sent in the Hilroy Studio Scrapbook, please do so. This way I can add as the year progresses.
Friday was a blast. A lot of walking ... for the kids I mean! We checked out the ''Walk of Generations'' placards and talked about how our community has changed. We got to see a couple short films about the grain elevators and how they function. We got to look around the grain elevator a bit too. The kids really just wanted to explore all over but the elderly gentleman who was giving us the tour wasn't into that! Here are some pics:
