Friday, April 6, 2018

What a day!  From the 'Just Dance' experience planned by Mr. Redding and Mrs. Strange, and Mr. Pfeiffer's JibJab presentations at this morning's Assembly... to Exploration Friday in the afternoon, we had a super day.

After the assembly, we reviewed some French sentences about les legumes, then most of the kids presented their personal booklets.  They are working on their pronunciation and fluency.  The written portion of the booklets should include proper sentence structure (including uppercase and end punctuation), spelling and accents.

After recess, they had Music with Mr. Redding, followed by Agendas and cleanup with me.  I continued reading from REFUGEE by Alan Gratz before going to P.E.  We played floor hockey with a plastic puck (much to the chagrin of the class) in honour of the Sedin's last home game last night. :)

This afternoon, the third set of sessions of Exploration Friday began.  In Multi-Media Creations with me we created beach scenes to combat the snow earlier this morning!

*I will do a separate post for images from the Multi-Media class.

Important notice: A letter about early dismissal next Wednesday 11th, and Thursday 12th for student-led conferences went home today.  It is also posted here:

Dear Parents / Guardians,

Next week is early dismissal on Wednesday 11th, and Thursday 12th.  The students will be hosting student-led conferences on each of these days.  There will be half-hour time slots starting at 1:00 p.m., three families per time slot.

Please plan to come with your child so that he/she can demonstrate his/her learning.  Phone Mrs. Echlin in the office [250 837 4744] to schedule a time that suits you best.  If these days do not work for you, don’t hesitate to contact me with an alternate suggestion.

Reminder: Please bring with you the survey that was in your child’s Written Progress Profile envelope, if you have not already returned it.  I appreciate the feedback!

Regards,

Sue Leach
