26 mars, 2014

There will not be a dictee this week!  In it's place, I will be sending home some math sheets that the students can complete at home and return for a star sticker on a rewards chart!

Thursday is a spotlight assembly and Friday is the last school day before Spring Break!

Check out the Hummingbird website on the sidebar of the blog.  Looks as though Phoebe, the hummingbird, has laid a few eggs (they are the size of a Tic Tac!).  Follow them over the next few weeks and watch them hatch, be fed by mom and learn to fly.  The camera is set up at a home in California and is Livestreamed.

Have a great week!

The class' efforts to catch a leprechaun were spoiled; they were outwitted by the little fellow who left them a chocolate treasure in return for the swimming pool they set up for him!

Thanks for sending in a green food item, the variety was remarkable, and included pickles, seaweed, apples, cucumbers, green rice krispies, cookies, donuts, cupcakes and chips! I have attached a photo:



The sound of the week is "un" and the words are:
1. brun - brown
2. lundi - Monday
3. commun - common
4. chacun - each one
5. vingt-et-un - 21
6. jungle - jungle

Don't forget that this Friday is a half day to accommodate parent-teacher interviews!

1. balai - broom
2. graine - seed
3. chaise - chair
4. maison - house
5. raisin - grape

Here are some photos of the Inukshuks and thanks to all families who drank a little extra milk in

Last week was a busy one and I have tried to capture some of the excitement in photos:

Farrah and Sophie figured out the tri-ski at Carnaval

Bonne fête à Piper !

We wanted to create a "tire d'érable" in the class so we boiled maple syrup and poured it over ice cream ~ delicious!

At Carnaval with bonhomme!  What a perfect day we had!

Back to the arena for some skating and fun!  We will skate for the next 2 consecutive Tuesdays in March.
 
Our dictée sound this week is made using "ER" and the sound is "eh".  The words are:
1. nager - to swim
2. manger - to eat
3. skier - to ski
4. dîner - lunch
5. patiner - to skate
6. février - February
 
Have a great week!
