Les nouvelles de mars --March news

Chers Parents,
What’s new in March? We are excited about our new theme and new focus. Thank you so much for your support during our winter focus. I hope that everyone had an enjoyable break. We have a brand new poster photo for MIMI that we just entitled: Le supermarché that was taken at our local Extra Foods. We will begin a unit on food and nutrition. We will learn a lot of useful vocabulary related to foods and the 4 food groups from Canada’s Food Guide. We also plan on some very exciting “Food” related activities during the month. If you can send some magazine cut outs of food or flyers that would be great. Please note the following dates on your calendar:
Tuesday, March 4th: Fruit Salad - Each child is asked to bring a specific fruit to help in the creation of our culinary masterpiece.
Tuesday, March 11th Vegetable Soup – Each child is asked to bring a specific vegetable to help in the creation of another delicious culinary masterpiece.
Friday March 14th No school PD/planning
Monday, March 17th St. Patrick’s Day! Le jour de Saint Patrice! Everyone is welcome to wear vert (green)
Wednesday March 19th: we will be going on a walking tour of Extra Foods on Broadway (please let me know if you can join us—I will need two parents)
Monday, March 24th your child’s first report card
Wednesday, March 26th: 4 Food Group Day - We will try to have foods from all 4 food groups for our special snack that day.
Thursday March 27th evening conferences

We are also hoping to have a pretend restaurant experience with our care-partner class at the end of the month where we will order food. We will create a place mat with our favourite meal. We will also be doing still-life paintings of fruit. And we will bake bannock. •

Please note these items missed in the package that went home today:
*Missing on our calendar are the last three days of March!
*I will send home the list for four food group day at a later date
*I sent home the wrong sharing page for the children's special day--the one I wanted to send explained that "un mets/repas préféré" is a favourite meal.  I told the children this but I wanted to make sure that this was understood.
*Please cross-out the word "congé" on the 18th of the March calendar.

MERCI!  Thank you also for the wonderful participation with the homework.  Bravo mes amis!
