le 3 - 7 fevrier

I can't believe January is gone and we are into February... Here are a few updates for the week:

-See post about French Immersion Week for additional events this week
-Weather recording homework was sent home last Friday and is to be completed each night this week. The completed page is due back on Monday, February 10 (not January 10 like was written on the homework page itself, my apologies for any confusion)
-Au courant journals are to come back to school on Monday
-Scholastic is coming home on Monday and is due back on Tuesday, February 11.
-Home Reading Books are coming home on Monday and are due back on Friday
-We are going to begin being care partners to students in Mme McCreas morning kindergarten class on Wednesday. We will visit each week for about 25 minutes and read and participate in other literacy activities together.
-Thursday is National Sweater Day - This is a national initiative to promote energy conservation. By wearing a sweater and turning down the heat, lots of energy can be saved. We are inviting staff and students to wear a sweater on this day to support this initiative.
-Library on Friday. Bring back your books if you wish to exchange them for new ones.
-Dictee on Friday. This week we will be studying c and the two sounds it makes. Hard sound (k) when followed by a, o and u, and soft sound (s) when followed by e, i and y. The exception is ç, which always makes the soft c sound. The words are as follows:
