the first few weeks

Bonjour everyone, Here is a little glimpse into what we have been doing the first few weeks. Students have settled in to the classroom very well. Of course, getting all of our school supplies is a very exciting part of the first week. Organizing our desks was a highlight for many students! We also played many 'get to know you' games, created a personal web of our life, drew self portraits, created a class contract, made class jobs, wrote in our journals, and did lots of speaking in French to remind our mouth muscles how to speak in French. We also did lots of math to get our brains working again! One book we read is 'Have you filled a bucket today?' by Carol McCloud and illsutrated by David Messing. This is a great book about daily happiness for kids. We have spoken a lot about filling other's buckets in the classroom. this book is available at the Vancouver Public Library if you wish to check it out and use it to speak to your child about happiness and compassion!

Also, don't forget meet the teacher night is this Wednesday, September 19th. I look forward to seeing you all then!
