A four day week this time - Friday being Good Friday, and a day off.
We will be talking about the letter Nn this week, and new words for the word wall are any, many, and had.
Along wth the weekly homework, children are bringing books home each night - please be sure to read with them and add these books, along with the little books they bring twick a week, to their reading log. I have only had a few students reach 50 books so far.... you can add any books your child reads to you, not only the ones from class. If you get books at your child's level from the library, you may add these to the logs as well. When they read 50 books, they get to choose a book to keep from a box that I keep on hand for that purpose. It is so exciting for them to choose!
Have a great week and happy Easter!

a look at the week ahead!
A full week this week - YAY!!!!
This week we are talking about the letter "Mm". New words for our word wall are who, which, and with.
Chantal Brideau, from Science East in Fredericton, came to GMCS on Friday morning and brought a hands-on science experiment exhibit. Our students will be visiting the exhibit through the next two weeks to "have a go" at some hands on learning. Teachers are signing up to take their classes to this wonderful opportunity - thank you for sending the loonie with your child during the past couple of weeks to fund this experience for your child.

April (SNOW) Showers!
Well, we really had an April Fool joke on us, didn't we? All that SNOW!!
And now we are into April and report cards. They will come home on Tuesday this week (April 5th). Parent/Teacher Interviews will be held on Thursday evening from 6-8pm and Friday morning, from 9-11am. Please look for the sign-up sheet in with the report cards when they come home. Because of the meetings, there is no school for students on Friday, April 8th.
On Friday, a representative from Science East (from Fredericton) will be bringing a number of hands-on science experiments to leave with us for a few weeks. During this time each class, K-5, will have the opportunity to go to the rooms where the experiments will be set up and "try" them out. Please send $1 with each student to help pay for this experience.
This week we are exploring the letter "Ll". new words for the week are where, why, and look. Please remember to send reading bags and logs each day - the more practice at reading your child gets, the quicker he/she will improve in the necessary skills. As well, homework comes home as usual.

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!
