Mercredi le 14 janvier 2015 newsletter


 

Chers parents,

We are in the full swing of things being back at school.  Hopefully we can enjoy the great winter weather we are starting to have as well.  Our theme this month is “L’hiver” winter.  We have begun a new poster and are doing a lot of vocabulary for this focus.  Please remember to send something that represents a winter activity for your child’s special day.  Today is our first day of homework as well.  I will send home the homework on a small piece of paper with the booklet.  Please do not work ahead.  Finished homework will get checkmarks and stickers.  Today I will send home instructions for pages 1 and 2.  Please have your child complete and return it for Friday.  New homework will be assigned on Monday. 

Tomorrow January 15th is a spirit day—les pyjamas!  Students and staff are welcome to come to school in pjs.  Please ensure that snow pants are still coming to school with your child as the students will still be going outside for recess.  It is also library exchange day.

We have also begun a program called Early Skills Development Program.  A coordinator has been in the classroom this week observing and assessing our needs so that we can begin and continue working on six specific skills:  

Listening

Responding to a request

Following Directions

Self control

Ignoring Distractions

Accepting Consequences

There will be a small pull-out group and well as large group lessons.  It is a great learning opportunity and will help our class be more effective.

Check the blog for homework assignments.  I will also be starting to send home reading books soon.

The winter assembly that we are preparing for will take place in February (I am hoping just before the February break but I need to confirm that) as we are currently doing a lot of alphabet assessment.

Merci!

Mme Jennifer Wallace
