Bonjour les familles,
This week we will not be having our regular poem of the week or spelling words as we have a shortened week and various activities going on in our class / school.
Primary Concert:
We hope to see you at either our afternoon performance on Tuesday, December 17th at 2:00pm or our evening show, starting at 6:30pm. We are asking students to wear a hat and scarf as their costume, as well as a white shirt and blue pants / jeans, if possible.
Spirit Day:
On Wednesday, December 18th there will be a spirit day at Central. Students are encouraged to wear green and red, or Christmas themed clothes if you celebrate the holiday. Enjoy!
Colour Nest Assembly:
Please have your child wear his / her colour t-shirt to school on Thursday, December 19th as we will be having an assembly and sing-a-long in the morning.
Class Party:
On Thursday, December 19th we will be having a class party to celebrate the winter holidays. If you would like to send in a treat for your child or for the class, please feel free to do so. We do not have any students in our class that have allergies, but we still ask that you do not send in any treats that contain nuts as students in other classrooms do sometimes come in for reading buddies and other activities.
Merci!

Maybe a translation would help....
I'm just realizing now that I wrote out our At-Home reading in French to go along with the video ( it's late....)
Swimming in the Snow
When I have a frozen nose,
I go back inside my house.
Winter, I swim,
I jump, I fly
Winter, I swim in the snowflakes.
Winter, I swim,
I jump, I fly
Winter, I jump in the white.
Winter, I swim,
I jump, I fly
Winter, I fly in the wind.

Nager dans la neige
Quand j'ai le nez gelé

Je rentre à la maison
L'hiver, je nage
Je saute, je vole
L'hiver, je nage dans les flocons

Je saute, je vole
L'hiver, je saute dans le blanc
L'hiver, je nage
Je saute, je vole
L'hiver, je vole dans le vent

Measurement Continued
This week we will be wrapping up measurement by looking at capacity and mass. If you have a scale at home, bring it out and take some time to weigh various objects around your house. Pick one object as a starting point and see if your child can find another object around the house that has a similar mass. If you do not have a scale at home, see if you can find some time to examine one at the grocery store and test it out!

Winter Concert
It's hard to believe that there is only 9 more days before the winter break! Our dress rehearsal for our winter concert is this Friday, December 13th so if you have some time at home, please continue to practice Vive le Vent ( video from previous week ) as well as Winter Wonderland as we will be singing it as a finale with the entire primary division. The other three songs that we will be singing will be in French which we will continue to practice this week in school. Thank you!

Measurement
Recently our class has been looking at measurement, with a focus on non-standard units of measurement. Students participated in an activity that asked them to measure a friend, using anything they would like that could be found in the classroom. A few valuable lessons were learned, such as selecting tools that are all the same size and not leaving any spaces between the tools that you have chosen to measure with. Here is a video from PBS kids that relates to the activity from last week, see if you can find a non-standard unit of measurement around your house to measure a family member!
