BRAVO!
Well done everyone for a successful week of online learning. I am however looking forward to your return to in person learning as soon as possible. I had to work from home the last two days because the classroom was very cold without my 22 little friends in the room!
Please bring back ALL learning materials/completed assignments with your name written on each sheet as we will be spending some time correcting and reviewing the work in class next week.
Please also remember to return your library books so Mrs. Mansey can get those back into circulation.
Finally, please send a set of headphones or earbuds, clearly marked in a ziploc bag with your name on it to school on Monday. We will be starting our new literacy/listening center activities and a set of headphones/earbuds are required. If you can not provide a set, please contact Mme Ireland so arrangements can be made. Merci!

Students were introduced to a new oral language project for the month of January. The focus is on "Mon école". Information is posted in the Google Classroom along with an instructional video for students to consult and help guide their learning.
Students are also finishing up a writing assignment on the five senses in winter. We look forward to sharing everyones "C'est l'hiver" livrets in class next week.

Our dear Mr. Jorgensen is leaving us today for his new post as Assistant Principal as Wildwood School. We will miss his friendly smile and kindness very much. As a way of showing our thanks to Mr. J, I would like students to start thinking about some "Words of advice" that they can pass along to Mr. Jorgensen as he starts his job at a new school. Think about what you might need to tell Mr. Jorgensen to remember at his new job? What might he need to do to be successful? What might he need to know about kids? What does he need to know to be good at his job? We will gather up these words of advice from grade one and present it to him during our virtual assembly on January 22, where he will be our guest of honour.
