February 21

Hello all. Your child has been working on a booklet entitled: "Je peux..." I think they were fairly well done. It will be put up on the bulletin board before I send it home. Maybe when you're in the school have a look and ask your child about it?

In math, we are going to shift from long addition to subtraction and problem solving. Most of the kids have mastered the long addition but there are a few who still have much difficulty with it. Practice never hurt anyone! You could double check at home with a question of your own!?

We are going to finish up a project on Arctic Animals soon and then focus on Meteghan, as this is our next social studies theme day.

I had the kids write in the agend: Opposite poles of a magnet __________, and same poles on a magnet _________. Talk with them about this. Try and let them tell you I mean. They should complete the sentence for homework.

Tomorrow I will give a dictée on sentir, partir, venir, sortir, tenir, ouvrir. We have worked these words throughout the week.

If you could also have your child show you how he/she does: 47
                                                                                                + 26

Feb 19

I hope you all had a nice long family day weekend. I spent many hours icing my knee...fun!
I gave the kids a little spelling practice this afternoon. Check it out with them please! It was the long a sound. _a_e or _ai_   They are to tell you which ones they are sure to be correct and ask for help with the others. We worked on math a lot today. Most have completed the duotang work. If not, it came home in the back pack and is to be completed asap.
