January 2016
Bonjour dear families! I wanted to get this newsletter out to you before the winter break so you know what to
expect for the return to school. I wish you all a wonderful break with lots of opportunity for family time! I will
miss your children dearly and will look forward to seeing them all again in the New Year. Here are some of the
things to keep in mind for the month of January.
Les mathmatiques
Le nombre We will continue with activities around numbers up to 5 this month; however our focus will shift
towards the unit on geometry and measurement. In this unit your child will learn to identify 2D and 3D shapes in
French and learn how to sort them according to attributes. We will also begin to explore how to measure things:
we will look at size, length, volume and weight. You can help at home by encouraging your child to practice
counting out loud in French and making groups of objects and learning to identify how many objects are in the
group made. You can also have your child sort objects at home using one attribute (ei.: things that are round,
things that have a flat side, things that have a sharp edge, things that have a point).Comparing items it terms of
size and length is also a good way to practice measurement at home.
Other:
As we are beginning another term, please ensure that your child has a pair of inside shoes that fit
comfortably and a change of clothes in their locker. You are welcome to come in and check in the
morning if youd like.
Please check your communication folder each night and carefully and take the time read and
complete pertinent paperwork. It takes quite a bit of time for teachers to check paperwork and it can be
time consuming to have to send paperwork home a second to be completed correctly. If there are papers
you do not want in the blue folder please throw them out at home. This way I can spend more time with
your child and less time sorting through various papers in their file.
