You must register as a parent first.  Then you will have access to book an appointment with me.   You will be able to choose a time that is convenient for you.  The registration period will start on Thursday, March 31st,  7:00 pm and end on Monday, April 4^th,  7:00 pm  Please note that there will be options in the morning. 

 

I hope that this process will go well for you.  If you have any problem, please contact M. Daniel Bélanger, vice-principal, dbelanger@vsb.bc.ca or Madame jessica to set up an appointment.

  

Welcome back!

Welcome back to school! I hope everyone had a relaxing spring break. I know I am feeling very relaxed and much healthier. Thank you for your understanding for postponing conferences. I don't think I realized how sick I was at the time. You will be getting more information about rescheduling in the next week. 

Today, we started our new 'dictée' routine. Instead of dictée, we will be doing weekly writing. Every Monday, students will get a new sheet for the week's writing topic. Students need to write the whole page during the week, and return it the next Monday. Please do don't correct their work, as I will be doing that, and we will do activities with them each Monday. It is extremely important that students bring their writing every Monday. If they do not, they will be missing out on valuable learning. 

Also, please remind students to bring their bag for home reading books. It is still so important to have them reading in French at home. 

Finally, tomorrow is class, team, and school pictures! 

Good morning everyone,

Just a note to let you know that I will need to postpone conferences as I am sick. I am so sorry for any inconvenience. We will re schedule for after spring break. You will also be getting an email from the school. 

What an successful, exhausting, but wonderful week! I've had a great time here but am ready to come home. I should be back at school Monday, but there is a winter storm passing through so flights may be delayed. 

I hope everyone had a great week, and I'll see you all soon

I hope everyone is having a great week! We made it safe and sound to Newfoundland! It's pretty crazy thinking I'm across the country from you all. It's been -15 with wind chill most days. I'm not used to this weather!! 

I promised students I would post a broadcast schedule. It will be on YouTube, and here is the schedule http://www.rogerstv.com/show?lid=12&rid=12&sid=7159

The games website is here: http://www.cornerbrook2016.com

If you're looking for my athletes, it's all the team BC figure skaters. They're all in levels 3-6, open and pairs level 1 and 3

I hope you all have a great rest of your week and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone when I'm back! 

Just a reminder that next week is the week I will be away in Newfoundland at Special Olympics Canada national games. I promised the kids I'd post something here about what I'm doing! I've left everything in order in the class room, so it should be just as if I'm there!

We had a great field trip today! I have to say, the students were AMAZING! Here are some pictures from the day. I have many more but they all have faces in them. I can't post them since not everyone singed the media release form, but I will find a way to get them to you when I'm back! 

Here is the pink heart the students may need for tonight's homework. They need to explain to you what we talked about in relation to that heart. 

Also, homework is to do the second page of their communities workbook. Please don't do any other pages since we will be doing these together in class. The second page is about changes they have seen in their own communities. 

Oops! I forgot to remind students that it's pink shirt anti bullying day tomorrow. Remember to wear something pink!

Infinitus

We had a great performance today by a string trio called Infinitus. I highly recommend checking them out. They're on facebook and their website is http://infinitusmusic.com/

I hope everyone had a great valentines weekend with your loved ones. The project we sent home on Friday is my favourite of the whole year. I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed seeing the kids' faces when they received them. 

We are working on our final structures project this week. If you have any recyclables that are less than 6x6 inches, we would love to use them in the class. Please send them tomorrow morning. 

This week's dictée is a bit different. Students chose their own words based on their precious dictées, the word wall, and work we have done. 

I think that's all for now!
