Colour days!

The Kindergarten teachers would like to invite staff and students of ERB to participate in our colour theme beginning next Monday. Please read below for more info.

The grade 1's will also be reviewing and studying colours. Every day will be a different colour day. If and when possible, please help your child participate by having him/her wear clothing in the colour of the day. 

You are also encouraged to send your child a healthy snack that is the colour of the day. We know this is not possible if your child is a picky eater. Not a problem!  :)
Some examples include:
Red day: apple, strawberries
Yellow day: banana
Orange day: orange, cheese, carrots, etc.

Bienvenue! Welcome!

I am looking forward to a great year and all of the fun things we will be doing!

Fun at the Children's Museum

The grade 1's had so much fun at the Children's Museum. The kids got to do lots of exploring and playing. We also reviewed French vocabulary while describing different objects.  The kids also made some good looking mosaics. Bravo!

C'est le printemps!

Here is a picture of our new Spring bulletin board in the classroom. The grade 1's were lucky enough to have the help of M. Sorokowski's grade 5's. After making all of the 'spring things', the grade 1's labelled the board. Next week we will be using these words to do some writing in French. C'est beau! Bravo!

TIA with Gaby

We explored many different genres of music, from Jazz to Rock and Roll to Blues, as well as different music across Canada. We grooved to the music and even made our own music. We could also make different sounds using different parts of our bodies and our voices. Music allows us to express our feelings too. What fun!

70 ou 90?

We have become very confident in our counting, but sometimes still have trouble with 70 and 90, en français. Thanks to Mme Bellefeuille's website and her helpful trick, we are remembering our 70's and 90's better now! We thought these posters are really cool too!

Les Doubles, les doubles +1 and Read to someone

This week we have been reviewing and practicing our doubles and continuing to work on doubles plus one (near doubles). We love practicing in centres!

We have been doing a great job of Read to Self, so this week we started to practice how to Read to Someone.  Reading is so much fun!
