La bibliothèque
Il y a beaucoup de livres français dans la
bibliothèque de l’école!
La responsabilité
In September, we emphasize
RESPONSIBILITY as we get used to routines.
In class, we show responsibility by:
- listening and following instructions
- taking care of belongings and classroom
materials
- doing my best when I work alone or in a
group
WE ARE RESPONSIBLE
LEARNERS!
Grade 1 and 2 students will go to the library
on Fridays. It is important that books are
sent back to class on those days to facilitate
circulation of books.
Immersion students have the privilege of
taking home two books: one in French, one
in English! I encourage you to read in
French to your child, even if you are
“unsure” of your accent or French reading
skills! Exposure, interest and support are
the key to success in an immersion
program.

Approach. Here are some words and
phrases your child supports with
actions (examples):

tombe, danse

Est-ce que je peux aller aux
toilettes s’il-vous-plaît?

Est-ce que je peux aller boire
de l’eau s’il-vous-plaît?

Bonjour, au revoir, madame

Je, tu, il, elle, on, tout le
monde

Ouvre, ferme, livre, porte

Met, enlève, chapeau,
manteau
Encourage your child by asking
him/her about actions regularly.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT OUR SCHOOL IS
A PEANUT AND NUT-FREE SCHOOL. AS
SUCH, WE VERIFY SNACKS DAILY AND ASK
YOU TO READ INGREDIENTS ON PREPACKAGED SNACKS BEFORE SENDING
THEM TO CLASS. Please note that soy
nut butter is also not allowed (Board
