Happy Thanksgiving!

Bonjour tout le monde,

How do you like our turkey factory?

We did a little Thanksgiving writing and said what we are thankful for. The children had many ideas, here are a few close-ups:


As you visit with friends and family this weekend, I hope you have time to play the math game most children made and brought home yesterday. We were practising putting things in sequence using the words "avant", "apres", "premier", "deuxieme", "troisieme" etc. The kids worked really well to think up their own story, divide it into 6 parts, and illustrate it. Many had a chance to trade game cards with their classmates when they were done, and we tried each others' puzzles to see if we could guess the right order. It was a really fun game that we thought cousins and siblings (and even grandparents) might have fun playing this weekend!

And finally, in case you didn't get a chance to check out our art during curriculum night, here are our most recent Artistes du mois. This project involved drawing a picture using at least 3 kinds of lines. The next day we painted over the pastel and our pictures appeared and look great with their colourful background!

Bonne fin de semaine!
