Week of October 21-24

lundi le 22 octobre, 2013

Dear families,

Here are our plans for this week. We are continuing activities related to the colour orange. For example, today we created orange sculptures using orange play dough. Thank you to one of our family volunteers for making this! This week is our school-wide write, therefore we will be using fall images to draw and write our first sentences using "Je vois" (I see) as our sentence stem. In science, we are going to learn all about the growth phases of the pumpkin through storytelling and sequencing activities. In math, we are continuing to learn how to count up to 20 in French.

Tuesday is library day! Please remind your child to put their library book back in their backpacks on Monday evenings so that they can borrow a new one every week. Students can choose from a variety of English and French books to ensure their joy of reading is ignited! Reading this book to your child, or asking an older sibling to read it to them, can be very beneficial in their progress at school.

Wednesday students are dismissed at 11:50 am and buses leave at 12:05 pm. Parent / teacher meetings are scheduled for 15 minutes each from 1:00 pm-6:00 pm so please be punctual. Check your child's backpack for your scheduled time. If you are unable to find your scheduled time, email me at ehoefer@sd61.bc.ca. It is recommended that you find child care during the meeting. If the classroom door is closed when you arrive, have a seat in the hallway. When your appointment time begins, please knock on the door as this will help us stay on schedule. I look forward to meeting all of you again!

Also, Friday is a PRO-D therefore no school on Friday. Have a wonderful week!

Mme Elise
