LE FRANÇAIS
Dear Parent(s),
This week, a lot of focus has been on our pencil pal
letters and reading en francais (in French) during
our bell work, our whole-class read alouds, or in
small guided reading groups. Next week, we will
take a look at the introductory steps to our class
presentations and written assignments in French.
Please feel free to visit the class website for more

Please continue to update your child’s Le
journal de lecture (French Home Reading
Log). A lot of the students are working hard
to practise reading at home and it shows
when we do French Guided Reading groups.

figures) and the French vocabulary that comes
with it. Next week, we will focus more on 3D
shapes (les solides).
Special Notes:
This week’s homework / les devoirs:
What time of day do I use the most electrical energy?
LITERACY (ENGLISH)
and
This week, we have written our letters to our new
pencil pals and the students have really enjoyed
writing these letters. Next week, we will be
focussing on answering specific questions to class
read-aloud’s to check for understanding while
providing proof to support their answers.
The POWER is On!
Working With Words (W.W.W.) – Week #11
Your child’s words of the week are:
animal here
people
see talk
when
As a reminder, I give the students a mini quiz every
Tuesday to test their spelling. Some suggestions
for practice:
-
Cheer the spelling
-
Bowl the spelling
-
Write the words in the air
-
Write the words on someone else’s back
-
Spell the words using toys (Lego, Blocks,
Playdoh, etc.)
SCIENCE
We focussed our explorations in Science on electricity
and the importance of conserving energy. Please see
this week’s homework.
REMINDERS
Library Days (la bibliothèque): This is on every Day 3, so
please make sure that your child brings their library
books to school every Day 3. They are allowed to sign
out a total of two books at a time.
Milk Days: The new cycle of milk tickets went home
this week. Milk days are every day at first nutrition
break. A new milk order form was sent home earlier
this week for the next cycle.

home next Thursday and it will be due March 21st, 2014.

Thank you in advance for your help with the What
