Les livres chez vous ~ Take home books

The students will be taking home books in their dossiers. Each book has a number in the bottom left hand corner and a title.  You can check the book number and title with the subsequent blog posts and read along.  (Please note the timing on the books are 1 minute in length so it goes by quickly.  It is okay to pause or re-visit the same recording.)  This is an opportunity to read-along in French and hear and see the correct pronunciation.  I hope that you and your child enjoy!

Bienvenue Boule le bonhomme de neige

Bienvenue Boule!
Voici notre nouvel ami.
He was created by our class.  The students chose names and voted on his final name.  They also decided what he would say.

"Bonjour.  Comment ça va? Je m'appelle Boule le bonhomme de neige. Mes amis m'ont construit. J'ai reçu un chapeau magique et maintenant je suis vivant. J'ai toujours froid. Je suis content. J'aime faire les anges. Je mange la neige."

~Hello.  How are you?  I am called Boule the snowman.  My friends built me.  I received a magical hat and now I am alive. I am always cold.  I am happy.  I like making angels.  I eat snow.~

Bravo la maternelle!



*Currently we are learning shapes as well.  Check out the Chillola link  for shapes in French.  You can also click on the MIMI link: Jouer dans la neige to see our poster and hear the words. There are some other great links on this blog to check out when kids are stuck inside because of the cold.  Another great site Wumpa.

Bravo la maternelle!

Chers parents,

Un grand MERCI!  Thank you to all those who attended our assembly!  I am very proud of how our students performed.  Bravo!   Thank you also for the photos you sent.  In 8 school days we will be having 100 days of school celebration on Wednesday, Feb 6^th.  The students are invited to bring an item to share for a “100 days” snack in a small plastic bag.  For example: 100 Cheerios, or 100 raisins, 100 smarties, 100 pretzel sticks, 100 Shreddies squares…  We will mix these snacks in a bowl for our shared trail mix snack.  Please do not send anything containing nuts.  You are welcome to do a 100 days project at home and send it to school but this is not required.  We will do some 100 days activities and have a bit of a party.

We will continue our theme of L’hiver and our current MIMI poster.  See the previous post on the blog for the photo and words.  We have recently done alphabet testing and the students have come a long way from September. I will send a letter home next week with the results.

This month we will also visit friendship and continue speaking on Kindness.   Included in the  newsletter that went home is a list of names for Valentine’s cards.

In math we will begin focusing on shapes as well.  If you would like to send a shape object that can be glued to a collage you can send them in your child’s dossier.

Merci pour votre soutien,

Thank you for your support.  A calendar will be sent next week. 

Mme Jennifer Wallace

Assembly performance

Chers parents,

 

We are looking forward to our assembly very much; it is Thursday January 24th at 9am in the gymnasium.  We would love to see you in the audience!  If you have any pictures of your child doing winter activities such as: sledding, skating, making a snowman, making snow angels, skiing, snowmobiling, making a fort….please email them to

We hope to have a multi-media presentation.  We are enjoying singing and learning vocabulary about winter.  It seems that January is magical when it comes to growth and learning in Kindergarten.  They are so knowledgeable and ready to show what they know.  Currently we are testing alphabet knowledge in French.  It is amazing to see how far the students have come since the beginning of September.  Thank you again for supporting our class.    

Merci!

Mme J. Wallace
