Chèrs familles,
I hope you all had a wonderful Family Day weekend!
We have started our week with a visit to our local Senior Home and gave our beautiful, homemade Valentine's Day cards. Tomorrow, we will be continuing to learn how to count up to 100 using groups of 10 (10, 20, 30...) and by 1's (1, 2, 3, 4....). We will also be learning how to pronounce, write and identify the letter L and l.
Our family themed "Show and Tell" started today and will continue for the next few weeks. In Science, our sense this week is hearing. We will explore this sense by listening to glass jars filled with different amounts of water, and matching up shakers with different sounds (for example rice and sand).
And finally, students will be exploring free play centers as I begin term 2 assessments with individual students. Last week we read "Have You Filled a Bucket Today? A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids", by Carol McCloud. Students are learning to apply kindness by "filling each other's buckets" using kind gestures throughout their day, especially during free play. Feel free to ask your child about how their bucket and their friends buckets are doing today.
Have a wonderful week and a very Happy Valentine's Day!
Mme Elise
