DAY 100 coming soon!

This week will be another short one, unfortunately, but a big one with Day 100 in the middle! As it is now, Wednesday, March 2nd will be Day 100, and our usual festivities will begin after recess in the morning. Each K-2 teacher will have an activity in her room that each student will have a turn at before lunch time. After noon recess we will go to the gym to do our Day 100 activities there, stopping by the cafeteria afterwards to see the projects done by the students. Parents and family are invited to come to the gym at 12:25pm.

We are finishing up "Gg" tomorrow and continuing on with "Hh" for the remainder of the week. Our new words this week are live, give, and his.

Mrs. Jones had put some videp clips from our French Cultural Assembly on her blog - feel free to visit her blog to watch them!

oops! I guess I've missed a couple of weeks, as this week we are talking about the letter Gg. Our words for the word wall are and, have and like.

We survived Valentines Day last week, and had an awesome French Cultural Assembly. If you were able to attend, we thank you. We hope to do it again next year. We were pleased that the K-2 class from White Head Elementary joined us for this event.

We will be listening to speeches in Math and Communications classes this week, and a few children will be chosen to give their speeches in the monthly assembly, this Friday, February 25th, at 1:20pm.

Day 100 projects are due in to school on Thursday this week (the 24th), and we will follow the Day 100 schedule that was sent home a few weeks ago.

Thank you for your cooperation and help in these two projects.

This week we are focusing on the letter Dd. Our new words are yes, no, go, and see. There is a sheet in your childs homework with all of the words we have learned so far, as well as the ones for the rest of the year. Please keep these handy to go through with your child as we do them. Review is a great help - please help your child by going through these lists regularly with him/her.

On Friday the K-2 classes and Ms. Toole's Grade 5 from GMCS, along with the K-3 classes from White Head Elementary School, will be putting on a French Culture Assembly, to show off what we are learning. There will also be a few hors d'oeuvres (French snacks) after the presentation. All are welcome!
