Bonjour - Welcome to a new year!

Bonjour!

Thanks to everyone for visiting the classroom last Thursday night.  It was very nice to meet everyone!

This week in Div. 11:

Library book return - Our book exchange system is changing this year.  Students in our class will now be able to exchange their books Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, as needed.  

Monday - Scholastic due (or Tuesday.  Honestly, I don't usually get to it right away!)

Tuesday - P.E.

Wednesday - Choir

Thursday - Music, Dictée

Friday - Orange Shirt Day, buddies with Mme Hallam's class, new dictée words

Topics of note:

French - Writing sentences starting with a capital and ending with a period.  Leveled reading in groups.  We will also be starting a novel which we will read together, written from the perspective of a First Nations man in Alberta and his experiences growing up on the land.

Math - Pictograms, adding and subtracting (using a number line or a 100s chart if needed), patterns.

Social Studies - Continents and oceans.  Willows will be observing "Orange Shirt Day" (http://www.orangeshirtday.org/) on Friday.

Please check the email sent for upcoming field trip information.

This week's audio dictée (you may hear Sammy-the-cat in the background near the end):
