Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear families,

We've had a busy week in room 211, complete with 3 fire drills! I've had good reports from our other teachers, especially Mme Morgenstern, who today, was thrilled with our class' effort in dance class! Continue le bon travail mes amis!

Obviously because of the long weekend, all words of the week will be coming home next Tuesday, so please remind your student to pack their cahier. 

Today, we reflected a bit on Thanksgiving and what we are grateful for. Ask your child what he or she wrote about!

We've also been working on some leaf art. Earlier this week, students gathered some fallen leaves at recess and traced them using marker. With pastel, they filled in the leaf segments using patterns and colours. Today, we used watercolours to paint over everything. The pastel resists the watercolour and looks really cool! Here are the artists:

I'd also like to introduce a special visitor to Salle 211. Mme Shyama is a teacher candidate from Niagara University. She will be helping in our classroom every afternoon, Monday-Thursday for the next few months. It is always great to have extra teachers in the room, and Mme Shyama has already been a great help to our students and to me. Please join me in welcoming her when you see her around the school!

Have a wonderful weekend with your families. Happy Thanksgiving!
Tamara
