Hard work, dedication, effort but most importantly, kindness and respect in our classroom. That has been some of the messages lately in our room! The expectations of our Junior French Immersion classroom. Let's keep rolling and making the hard work stick!
It was a great week in Room 22 with lots of learning in Reading and Writing as well as Social Studies. Let's keep up the hard work and push our limits to the highest level possible!
With Remembrance Day this upcoming week, we remember the sacrifice, dedication and effort our past and present armed forces have demonstrated in protecting our country.

No SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS
We will continue our second unit of study in Reading, looking at parts of text and understanding the main idea. This will help us with reading for meaning and understanding how stories tell us a message. We will be using fairy tales and legends to help understand the beginning, middle and end of stories. This will help us summarize and share only the most important parts of the story.
In writing, we will embark on a deeper exploration of paragraph writing, combining it with journal writing. This will be a great way to encourage the use of a single idea that is elaborated upon with detailed descriptions. We will revisit some strategies, like our PWIM charts, to help with vocabulary and adjectives.
This week, we continue our Phonemic modules. Students will be immersed with French sounds/phonemic awareness and be able to practice this in class using their notebooks and whiteboards. Ask your child all about this, this upcoming week! with the second part. This will help with creating small reading groups to encourage and boost our reading fluency and comprehension.
SPELLING: Semaine 8 - Doublement de la consonne finale suivie d’un «e»
We will continue our weekly word list for a spelling test at the end of the week. Each list will contain various words with a common phonemic theme. Lists will be provided on paper on Mondays and will also be shared on Google Classroom for students and on my classroom website. Please help your child review the words and help them prepare for the test on Friday. Ten words will be chosen at random for the test. GOOD LUCK! The words can be found here.
Our library days will be DAY 2. This will be this MONDAY!
4/ We are looking at the political map of Canada and the provinces and territories. We will look at similiarities and differences between the provinces.
5/ Now that we have made our land acknowledgements, we have a better understanding of the life and culture that our local Indigenous Nations share with us. We will amplify this to the Canadian level, looking at other groups and make comparisons.
6/ We are using the quote by Carl Sagan, "You have to know the past to understand the present," and we will make Connections and see the Cause and Consequence of past Canadian events and how they shape the present. We will use the Komugata Maru as a class example to support our learning.
