Week of Dec 2nd - 6th

lundi le 2 décembre, 2013

Dear parents and guardians,

December is already here and first report cards have all gone home! This week our colour is green (vert) and our letter is E and e. We are also learning to pronounce the four different sounds that E makes in French; e, é, è and ê. In art we are doing a variety of craft activities related to First Nations animals, evergreen trees and the colour green. In math we have started learning numbers up to 30 through song, and in science we are continuing our science experiments. Last week we had 2 experiments. The first explored  'Physical Change' when mixing two colours of dye to create a new colour. The other one demonstrated the 'Conservation of Momentum' by tapping a coin into a row of five others coins to see the coin on the opposite end move away. Students can try these easily at home!

On Tuesday we have a special visit from Leslie from the Native Friendship Center. She will be doing a craft activity with us. In music, students are rehearsing for the Primary Concert. On Friday we have our monthly assembly.

By the way, December calendars are going home tomorrow. There are many fun and educational activities you can do with your child that compliment what we are doing at school. If you choose to do these activities with your child, I can provide them with additional positive feedback for all the hard work they are doing at home :)

Bonne semaine!

Mme Elise
