Shapes

We have been learning about shapes.  We have been discussing how many sides they have, how many corners they have, and whether the sides are straight or curved.

Valentine's Day

We are looking for some fun valentine's themed items to make some awesome art next week! If anyone has anything (heart shaped stickers, foam pieces, red, pink or purple craft items etc.) lying around the house that they would like to donate, we would be very appreciative. Also, when writing valentines this weekend, please have your child write à mon ami (to my friend) instead of everyone's actual name, as it is very time consuming to distribute them that way.  If you've already done so, please don't worry.  We have 20 students. 

Literacy Day


Today we celebrated literacy day and our love of reading! We were so excited to wear our pajamas to school! We had a lot of fun reading our favourite books and cuddling our stuffed animals and blankets. We had a visit from the LaSalle Vipers and they read us some hockey themed books.  Then we had another guest reader, Mario Spagnuolo.  He read us a "Pat le chat" book! Thanks to all of the parents who came to read with us and help us make bookmarks. We also enjoyed reading with our grade 8 reading buddies. We love reading!
