Week of December 11th

Bonjour!

Just two more weeks before the Winter Break.  Here's what's coming up:

Tuesday Dec. 12 - P.E., Choir rehearsal in the afternoon
Thursday Dec. 14 - Dictée, Choir rehearsal in the afternoon
Friday Dec. 15 - Pizza/sushi

Monday Dec. 18 - Field trip, afternoon Choir performance in our gym
Wednesday Dec. 20 - Evening choir performance at Oak Bay High School
Thursday Dec. 21 - No dictée or spelling!!

Please send your child's choir uniform to school this week in preparation for next week's concerts.

Last week we started our first Spelling Unit of Grade 3.  We will be alternating Spelling and Dictées for the remainder of the school year.  This week will be our last Dictée/Spelling of 2017.  We will be taking a break from these next week and restart after the New Year.

I will be placing all Spelling Units on a website called "Spelling City".  This site uses the class Spelling lists and allows students to play a few games like "Hangman" and "Unscramble".  As an added bonus it is free and there is no need to register.  This year's lists will always start with a "3", followed by the Unit name.  Ex:  3 Unit 1.  My previous units from when I taught Grade 4/5 are still up there for anyone to try.  You can access it here.  Another way to reach the site is to go to:  SpellingCity.com/teachers/s showers.

Here is this week's audio dictée:
