Shhhh! Wrapping presents for some special people...

The last week before holidays always seems to be the longest!  Please remind your little ones that school is still "on" and we still have work to do before we rest. In that regard, there will be evaluations this week; in français there will be vocabulary (vetements et Noel) and one for listening to instructions. 
In Math there will be one showing one more than/one less than and a pre-addition quiz. Thank you for your help in keeping the kids on track.
My apologies for the Friday pizza day mix-up. One calendar said there was pizza day and thank goodness you all sent lunches for the kids...only Mme Colette did not have a lunch!
Thursday is pyjama day and in the afternoon we will be having hot cocoa and a film. Is anyone willing to come and help out? 1pm if you are available, please email me.
Bonne semaine

WOW! I am so proud of our little class and the great job they did at the concert last night. Everyone looked "beau et belle" and sang with love and compassion. The true meaning of Christmas. Félicitations!

A HUGE thank you to Ruhaan's mom for purchasing the gifts for our hamper family. If you have not brought in your food items, please do so by Friday or let me know if it will be a problem. 

Another MERCI to the secret santas who bought books from the Book Fair for our classroom. They are very much appreciated and I am looking forward to reading them with the children.



We will not be having another library period before the holidays. The Learning Commons is closed (there is a Star Lab in there right now, that I am hoping we can visit with the grade 6s). In that regard, please have your child return their books before the break so that they do not get lost over the holidays. Thank you for your help.

Thank you to Valentina's mom who found this great website which speaks to your child and includes all kinds of neat information, from numbers to greetings. It may also be of benefit to you, the parents, for helping you learn French as well! Have fun

Where do I begin for this week?
First of all tomorrow night's concert, a gentle reminder Sunday best and arrive no later than 6:15 in the classroom. Merci...
and wish us luck!

Everyone brought back or sold the WESTJET tickets so that means...Freezie party! No pizza but I am super proud of everyone...one less thing to worry about.

Food hamper items are coming in nicely; again a BIG thank you. No one has stepped forward to buy a gift for the family. (any takers? please email me asap. Merci) All items need to be handed in by THIS Friday as they go out next week. 

Speaking of Friday, it is pizza day but there is no theme day as that will be done next Thursday the 17th...pyjama day.
As always...read, read, read...en français! Syllables were sent home to those had asked for them at interviews, so check agendas and if they did not make it home, ask your child where they disappeared to.
Bonne semaine

voici le vocabulaire de Noel

We are so BLESSED...please help.
We have been given a hamper to fill for a family of 3. I will be assigning items of food for your children to bring to help fill the hamper, but any donation is gratefully accepted. I am also asking for donations of money as we have also been asked to buy gifts for these people.  I would need a parent or two to purchase gifts for a 6 year old girl, a 3 month old boy and a mother by the deadline date of December of 14th. This project will be a big part of our Advent preparation. Let us walk humbly and help those in need. MERCI
