Good evening,
The title of my blog post is the name of our new theme for the month of October. During the month of October we'll be exploring the theme of 'Autumn with my family'. As part of this theme, students will make their own family tree (immediate family only) complete with photos. I will send home more info about this project this week. Students will also be introduced to the vocabulary of family (mother, father, sister, brother, etc). We'll also be talking about the upcoming holiday of Thanksgiving.
In Math we will be continuing work on chapter 2 which discusses numbers from 1 to 20. Part of the work we'll be doing will be learning about the various ways that numbers can be represented, whether it be with words, numerals, or represented by objects. This week we'll also be beginning our math centres where the children have the opportunity to work independently or in groups on math activities related to patterning and representing numbers from one to twenty.
I'll be sending home red homework duotangs with the children this week. The homework for each evening will be outlined in the homework duotang.
The students are speaking more and more French in the classroom everyday! It's exciting to see the transformation. You may be interested in checking out the Canadian Parents for French website for tips, info about ways in which you can support your child's learning. http://www.cpf.ca/eng/home.html
Please make sure to send the October menu in with your child tomorrow, if you haven't already done so.
Remember that our fieldtrip to pick apples is on the morning of Wednesday October 13th. If anyone is interested in volunteering, please let me know before this Wednesday.
Lastly, I will be away for awhile as of this coming Thursday because I'm getting married next weekend. Ms. Becky Stewart will be teaching the students while I'm away on this coming Thursday and Friday, as well as next Tuesday and Wednesday. She is bilingual and has worked with the students a few days already this year. If you need to contact Ms. Stewart for any reason i.e pickup changes, questions, etc... please write a note in your child's agenda or call the school and leave a message for her. I will not be checking my work email while I'm away, nor posting a blog next Sunday. My next post will be October 17th.
Take care,
Madame Ellen
