No LCM

Good afternoon,

I am giving the students a break this weekend from LCM.  They have been working very hard this week.
Bravo mes amis!

The students have continued to work on Daily 5 in order to improve their reading and writing skills.  We have also been reading the novel Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes.  The students wrote a text about bullying

We've been working on our portfolio in French, English, and Art.  In Gym, we played handball, volleyball, and stations about respect.  In Music, we finished our stars for the alto recorders.  We started to learn the song "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

Handball tomorrow

Just a reminder that some of the grade 5 students will be attending the handball tournament tomorrow at Stevenson-Britannia School.

2. Why is it important to stop bullying?

3. What was your favorite activity yesterday and why?

4. How do you feel the activities from yesterday will help stop bullying?

5. What can you do to stop bullying?

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a great weekend!

A few notes...

1. I have asked the students to bring in a shoe box for an art project we will be starting next week.  I do have a few boxes, so please let me know if your child is unable to bring in a box, and I will be happy to give them one.  If you happen to have any extra boxes that you are willing to send, that would also be appreciated.

2. We will be having our "Journée de mission" on Thursday to go along with anti-bullying week.  A letter was sent home explaining the different activities.  Students are encouraged to wear pink, which represents anti-bullying.

As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Bonsoir,
Mme C

Art project

Hello!

In October as our art project, we created our own clothing.  The clothing represented who we are.  After we created them, everyone guessed whose picture was whose.  It was really fun.  We had help from Mme Sparling and Mme Craciun to make them.
