Hello Area 24,
Thank you and Bravo tout le monde for completing your science homework on time! We had almost a 100% return rate. Good job on responsibility and organization!
I also want to remind you that Dewson is switching over to an automated safe arrival system. A note came home about this Friday. Basically, it means you will receive a call every time your student is late getting to school (after 9:00 am and 12:45 pm) and if we don't know the reason for an absence. To avoid these calls, please do your best to be at school by 8:55 when the first bell rings, and send me or the office an email or note if your child will be away. If we know about it in advance, we can stop the call from going out. Thanks!
Our next writing project will be letter writing. Soon we will analyse a letter to discover the components that make a good one. Today, we started by writing a letter as a class to le Père Noël. We started with a nice opening sentence, then asked a question, then politely asked for some blocks for our class, then closed with a thank you and our names. The letter will be mailed later today!
Friday was an exciting day and I have some pictures to share! In the morning we had a visit from Mme Mitchell, who helped Club Violet with their reading, and all of us with our art project! Our second round of French centres went very smoothly, and we got to hear another story written by the members of Club Rouge, who were at the writing centre.
Our art project was a beautiful menorah made from tissue paper, so it looks like stained-glass. Thank you to Mr. D'Antonio for doing all the intricate cutting for us ahead of time. We read and shared what we know about Hanukkah a bit before we started, so ask your artist why the menorah has 9 candles.
In the afternoon, Donnely came back so that we could present and reflect on our beautiful sculptures.
