*** We have sent home immunization form with the grade 6s today – please try and return to school by Friday!
This week we start our literacy program. Each week the students will chose 10 vocabulary words of their choice around a certain topic. They will review these words all week and on Friday the students will quiz each other on their words. Comprehension and spelling.
We will also review 3-4 different sounds each week. The student will choose words that have the sound we are studying and we will have a quiz on Friday.
During our literacy time the students will rotate through 4 stations: lecture et comprehension, les phrases, vocabulaire et sons, la grammaire.
The vocabulary for this week is autour de la classe – around the classroom.
The sounds for this week are Ou Eu Oi Ch.

Thanks to all those who came to the welcome BBQ last Thursday!
The students have been working hard preparing the Orange Shirt Day assembly this Friday – it is great to see so much leadership among our students.
We have begun a “système d’économie’ in our classes. This system encourages the students to speak french, help around the classroom and school and show leadership. This also reinforces financial literacy concepts!
Each week the students start with 250$ – this is their weekly salary. Throughout the week they can gain money or lose money. The students keep track of their salary and calculate their earnings every Monday morning. At the end of the month, if the students have met their monthly goal we have a class party of sorts. This month we are working towards a movie afternoon with popcorn (of course!)
