Bonjour!
Today, we created a new list of spelling words that focus on the "eau" (o) sound:
1. peau (skin)
2.veau (calf, baby cow)
3. beau (nice, handsome)
4. chapeau (hat)
5. oiseau (bird)
Some of these words are a review.
Tomorrow at 3:30pm - 4:30pm, the student council has organized a school dance to raise money for a new outdoor play structure. All students, parents and siblings are welcomed to attend. The cost $1 and donations are also being accepted.
Tomorrow, it is Finn who will be presenting the Show and Tell. Thanks today to Mac for flying his remote-control helicopter!
Have a good week (last one before Spring Break!)

Today, we had our Telus World of Science classroom session and learned about BUBBLES! The kids learned that bubbles have 3 rules:
1. Bubbles are lazy! (only form into spherical shapes);
2. Bubbles need to be wet;
3. Bubbles reflect light!
Here are a few pictures:
We had fun! The kids brought home their own bubble makers that they can use in the bath or save for the summer!
With regards to the extra Math sheets that came home last week - I wanted to encourage the kids to practice their math skills in addition and subtraction after one student asked me for extra work. I put out the idea to the whole class and a surprisingly large number of students were keen to have extra practice at home! These sheets are for the students to work through at their own pace. I welcome the students to bring them back once completed to "show off" their accomplishments! Bravo la première année!
Tomorrow, we have a visit from Baby Kai at 11:15. A Science in Motion assembly will take place in the gym at 2:15.
On Friday, the Spotlight Assembly will take place at 11:00am. The students will be dismissed at NOON!

Report cards went home today. Please sign the enclosed "Parent Comments and Signature" sheet and send back in the envelope. The report card is yours to keep! Also, there is an interview request sheet included in the envelope. If I have not requested an interview, but you would like to meet, please fill in your desired meeting time. I will confirm times with you this week.
Happening this week...
Wednesday: Telus World of Science, "Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles", from 1:00-2:00.
Thursday: Roots of Empathy - Baby Kai will come in for a visit.
Friday: - Spotlight Assembly at 11:00 am
- Book orders are due back
- Noon dismissal for students
We will be starting to create our Community Building project. If you have some scraps of material to send in, we will use them to create the interior of our 3D buildings.
The spelling words this week, as chosen by the students, focus on the "ER" sound, which, in French, says "EH". There are five words that all students will spell.
1. nager- to swim
2. voler - to fly
3. dîner - dinner
4. parler - to speak
5. rester - to stay
A few students were asking for more words (how could I say "no"!) and so all students are invited, but are not required, to spell:
6. janvier
7. février
8. chercher
Have a good week!

Way to go Grade One classes on your singing performance at the pyjama day on Friday!! Marta (organizer) said that she was moved to tears...now that is good singing! Check out the performance at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=8yhAkA7TVk8
This week's sound is "ph" that makes the "f" sound, as it does in English. With the help of the class, we came up with the following words for the week:
éléphant- elephant
téléphone - telephone
phoque (careful here...) - seal
Phoebe (name of the hummingbird we check on. Be careful of the capital P!)
photo -
Thursday, from 10:40-12:00, we will be visiting the Town of Jasper and some of its buildings.businesses. Please join us for the walk!
On Friday, there is school in the morning and the students are dismissed at lunch for a staff Professional Development day.
Have a good week!

We had a busy week last week and I will attach some pictures at the end of this post. We painted our clay penguin masterpieces and they turned out wonderfully! Bravo la première année!
The Show and Tell has been going well, also. Remember, this activity is to promote thinking and speaking in French for both the student that is presenting and for the class! They are, therefore, welcomed to bring in a favorite toy to class. Check out the picture of Melissa showing and telling about her "pet" hooded dragon (please dont feel that the item needs to be alive!)! It was exciting to watch Melissa's mom try to feed it a superworm...eeeek! I must say that I was a little freaked out!
The Carnaval was also a lot of fun - here, you can see Maya pounding a nail as she tried to do her best "lumberjack" impersonation.
The words of the week follow the "EN" sound (it is the sound as last week's "AN")
1. dent (tooth) -
2. vent (wind) -
3. cent (a hundred)
4. enfant (child)
5. entre (enter)
Have a great week!

Spelling words of the week
The spelling words this week are:
maman - mom: Je vois ma maman.
grand - big: Le chien est grand!
dans - in : Le chocolat est dans la boite.
mange- to eat: Je mange une banane.
blanc - white: La neige est blanc.
orange - orange: La carotte est orange!
The sound of the week is "an", and in Enlish, it sounds like saying "on" without pronouncing the "n".
For reference to a french-spoken version, please access the following website and type in the word that you would like to be pronounced:

Mrs. Morgan's class is hosting a cookie sale, so send in those quarters for a recess treat.
Finally, please send a helmet and warm clothing tomorrow afternoon for the winter carnival.
Merci!
