Newsletter for November

Le 30 octobre, 2012

Chers parents,

C’est l’halloween, hé!  Tomorrow students are welcome to wear their Halloween costumes.  We will have a little parade in the school with Mme McCrea’s class.  We will have games, crafts, songs and stories to celebrate.  If you would like to send along a snack please ensure that there are no nuts included.  There will be a lot of sweet treats that day so healthy snacks are quite welcome too.  We are completing our first MIMI poster and will soon begin our new poster.  Keep reviewing and having fun with the words at home.  Invite your child to teach you some new French words.  November 1^st is also a Spirit Day as well as the beginning of Movember so students are invited to wear their best moustaches.

As well as our new poster, in November, we will also learn about Remembrance Day: Le jour de souvenir  ~L’armistice.  We will work on booklets that teach O’ Canada in French.  If you have any old Canadian magazines or calendars that can be used to cut out pictures please send them along in your child’s dossier.  The booklets will include your child’s drawings as well as collages.   We will also be going to the Western Development Museum for “A Christmas Long Ago” program.  Details about the date will be in the newsletter in your child's dossier.  Let me know if you would like to volunteer.  Check the calendar for your child’s special day.  On your child's special day he or she may talk about a favourite holiday/celebration or family tradition.  Pictures or objects that represent the event or tradition on his or her special day are welcome.
