September Update



Hi Parents,


September has already rolled by quickly and we have been making some good progress in getting used to routines and the French language. We have been working on several inquiry based learning that, not only, complement each other but can also be incorporated in the daily lives of the students. Here they are:
1 – How do I take care of my community (home, school and their neighbourhood)
a-     How do I take care of myself
b-     How do I take care of my things
c-     How do I take care of my body (wash hand, eat healthy, exercise, blow my nose in a tissue, sneeze in my sleeve and not in my hands, etc.)
2- We are also talking about the characteristics of a good listener, good reader and good writer.
3- In mathematics, we are working on patterns and the big question is as follow:
How do patterns affect my life?
                  Patterns affect our lives in our routines, through the seasons (clothes, food, and activities), the time (hours that repeats) and more.
                  The students are also working on finding patterns in their environment and all around them (clothes and cloths, trees, flowers and so on)
Since students benefit highly from reinforcement at home, we encourage open conversations about these topics and what they are working on in class. Your little ones will be proud to share their learning with you and, in return, share what they have learned at home with the class.


Thank you,
Mme Melissa et Marie-Claude
