Dear Parents:
Whew! There's only one more week and then we're on holidays! the time has gone by so quickly.
This week is full of activities. it will also just zoom by.
Here are the items and activities to remember.
Our food drive is still underway. We have yet to reach our goal of 1000 items.
Wednesday morning the students will have a presentation from Colonel By Secondary School's C flats singing group. This presentation is always amazing and the students usually enjoy it.
Thursday morning we go to Colonel By to try out the final version of the math games created with our partners.
Friday is Pajama Day and more. After recess we will have a whole school BINGO. Then there will be a movie for C House and we will finish the day in the gym with some songs and dances.
I would like to take this opportunity to with everyone a wonderful, safe and health holiday. I look forward to seeing your children back at school in January.

Semaine de 7 - 11 décembre
Hi parents,
Here we are in the second week of December. I'd be happy if the weather stayed this
warm until the holidays.
This week we are starting our Science unit on La Lumière et Le Son (Light and Sound). In
order to complete the experiments for this unit, we need several small flashlights. If you
have any to spare, please send them in with your child. We only need them until the
holidays
.
Yesterday we went to Colonel By to meet with our partners and check out
their progress on the video games. The students were quite excited to be inside the high
school. The games are coming along nicely. We go again on Friday afternoon.
Robert Hopkins is having the yearly food drive. Please send in some non-perishable food
items. Our goal is 1000 things.
POPCORN : Friday is the next popcorn day. $1.00 a bag
DEVOIRS: The same routine as last week. The students record the title, author and whether
or not they liked what they read. They need to explain their answer.

Semaine de 30 novembre - 4 décembre
It's hard to believe it's already December. We're heading into a busy time at school.
With the colder weather, please make sure your child comes with warm clothing. They are expected to be outside for Recess. It is a good idea to label hats, mitts and snowpants. Many students end up having the same styles.
The Junior classes have started a joint project with students from Colonel By. We are working together to create a video game that helps students practice Math skills. We've already met once with our high school partners to plan out the game. The next step is for us to go to Colonel By and see what they've been able to come up with so far. We will be going over on December 7, 11 and 17. Please sign and return the permission slip. I'd hate to have to leave any students behind.
In Sciences, we are finishing up our unit on Habitats. I sent home the unit test to be signed. If you haven't seen it yet, please ask your child. All the students have presented their dioramas. What amazing work. They are quite a creative class. We are inviting some other classes to come see them this week before I send them back home.
Devoirs: This week the students added a page to their orange Carnet de Lecture. They are expected to fill in the title, author and say whether or not they liked their book. They need to explain their answer.

It was nice getting to speak with some parents last week. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Semaine de 16-20 novembre
Dear Parents: I hope you've had a great weekend. Here are the important items to know this week at school.
Our annual fall Scholastic Book Fair will be held this week in the school library. The students will be making two visits to the book fair. On Wednesday, we will go see what is available. The students can make a list of what they want to buy as well as the prices. On Thursday, we will return and those students who have brought money can make their purchases. The Book Fair will be open to parents as well on Thursday evening and Friday morning during parent-teacher interviews.
There will be no school for students on Friday, November 20 because of the PA Day.
Please note: Library will be on TUESDAY this week.
In Francais, we are looking at voice and point of view. This will help with their English animal assignment which is being written from the point of view of their animal.
I hope that by now your child has at least planned out their Habitat project. The completed diorama and research question page are due on Friday November 27.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me using your child's Agenda.

Semaine de 9-13 novembre
The most significant event of this week is Remembrance Day. The whole school will be having an assembly on Wednesday November 11 at 10:30. During this assembly, the grade 4 classes will be presenting a poem. Please help your child memorize the poem by having them recite it many times before Wednesday. We are also asking you to please send in the names and ranks of any family members who served in the military, either Canadian or any other country. These will be displayed as part of the assembly. Parents are invited to attend the assembly too.
Our Science unit on Habitats is well under way. Hopefully your child is working on their diorama. It is due on Friday November 27th.
In Etudes Sociales, we are continuing to look at Ontario and its various resources.
As usual, The orange doutang Devoirs is due on Thursday. Several students have chosen their prizes for completing the first page of their log. Part of the nightly reading is to record what is read on the log. There is also the page for this week's summary at the back of the duotang.
Popcorn Day: This Friday is Popcorn Day. Bags are $1.00
Have a good week.

Over the next few weeks, I will continue to model different types of reading responses. The students will have opportunities to practice them in class. This way, they will know what is expected when they are assigned as homework.
In Etudes Sociales, we are continuing our look at Canada. We will review the provinces and capitals in class and there will be a test this Friday (if I feel they are ready) or next Monday.
Unfortunately, this blog will not be in use until further notice.

14 - 18 septembre
Bienvenue and welcome to the 4e EFI blog for the 2015-2016 school year. My goal for this blog is to keep you better informed about what we are working on in school.
Last week, we settled back into the school routine. This week we welcome Mr. Kevin Taylor, a student teacher from the University of Ottawa Faculty of Education. He will be with us every Wednesday until December.
As long as the weather stays nice, we will try to have a mix of indoor and outdoor Gym classes. In Etudes Sociales, we are beginning to learn about Canada's provinces and territories.
Homework. Yes it is time to get back to Devoirs. This week, the students are expected to read 20 minutes every evening and record what they read in their Carnet de Lecture. This is a bright orange doutang that I'm sending home on Monday. Please sign it and send it back to school on Thursday.
If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to put a note in the Agenda.
Have a good week.
