The above link will direct you to the livestream webcam that we have been looking at. It is a hummingbird (oiseau-mouche) that laid 2 eggs on Jan. 5, 2013. We learned that the eggs are the size of a tic-tac candy and that the nest is the size of a golf ball! Often, the mother bird (Phoebe) visits the nest to feed the young!! Thanks to Mrs. Morgan for sharing this link with us!
Have a great weekend!

Just a quick update!
The spelling words of the week are:
1. feu (fire)
2. deux (2)
3. cheveux (hair - more than one)
4. heureux (happy)
5. je peux (I can)
6. le mieux (the best)
The word selection this week is slightly more complicated than in the past. Remember; each word has "eu" in it and 5/6 words end in "eux".
We will be working with the words in the classroom, spelling them with beans, Wikkistix, magnetic letters, etc. Please ask me if you have any questions or concerns!
Merci!

One week is under our belts and there are a few changes in our classroom.
First, I would like to welcome Maya to our Grade One team. We are happy to have a new face in the group!
Second, I will be sending home little readers that we will read and discuss in class. The kids will then read them to you at home. You must then oooooh and aaaaaah and say how well they read in French! After reading, record the book's title in their green recording booklet and fill out how many smiley faces to color (4 if it went really well, etc.). Send the book baggie back the following school day.
The 'bags of books' that have been coming home during the last few months have been well received. Since most of these have gone home to each student te students wish to take one home, they can "sign" them out with me in the classroom and keep them for a week.
Other things to look forward to are Science and Social Studies projects that I will send home within the weeks to come.
Have a good weekend!

What a wonderful performance!
Way to sing and dance Grade One's! It looked like the class was having a fun time "Decking the Halls" and "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" last night! Wonderful job everyone!
Today, kids are invited to wear their pyjamas to school (it will just be our class, not the entire school). Also, there is a cookie sale today at recess sponsored by Madame Gabrielle's Kindergarten class.
Tomorrow, the students are invited to dress-up in their Christmas colours as part of a school-wide Spirit Day, organized by the student council.
Tomorrow's events are as:
10:00-10:40 - La Chaine de la Solidarité (passing food band items from the school to the Anglican church)
11-12 - Sing-a-Long with Val and Morley
1:00-2:00 - Winter Walk around the block (our Grade One class). Please join us if you are available!
3:15...head home for a wonderful winter holiday!

Tomorrow we will be swimming at 10:30. Once we have finished swimming lessons, we will walk directly over to the Activity Centre to join the other classes for the Réveillon feast. If you are planning on sending in a food item and are able to drop it off at the Activity Centre (if you are joining us there), that would be great! If you are planning to send your food item in with your child in the morning, I will transport it to the pool with us (please make it as “transportable” as possible, ie. plastic containers).
Thanks!

Bonne fète à Isobel! Happy 6th birthday, Isobel!
Yesterday, we had a fun and informational 3V session with a teacher from Montana who told stories and showed video clips of bears. We got to see Bruno the Bear during his "winter lethargy" and learned that bears don't hibernate, rather they "den" for the winter.
Our visit to the Museum today was fun and the kids each found a favorite tree. Some of "favorites" included the "money" tree, the pink tree, the purse tree, the hockey tree, the strawberry jam tree the chocolate tree. There is an event at the Museum this Saturday, where the kids can decorate a tree with Santa! Thanks to Bella's mom and Jillian's mom for accompanying the class to and from the Musuem!
Tomorrow is our "on" spelling quiz as well as out bear baking morning. Don't forget that it is also a noon dismissal day.
As requested in the newsletter, if you are able to send in a washed 4L milk jug, we will be doing a christmas craft with them by next week, thanks.
