Notre première étoile de la semaine

Anthony est notre première étoile de la semaine!
Anthony est un garçon très habile au soccer!
Il porte le même nom que son père et son arrière grand-père.
Il aime jouer des jeux vidéos et manger des hamburgers.  Il a un chien et des poissons à la maison.  

Plus tard Marco aimerait être un pompier!  

Math Centers

What a fun way to learn and practice math skills. Today we enjoyed Math Centers as part of our Daily Math routine.

Studies have shown that math centers provide an opportunity for students to practice and apply skills and strategies taught within the classroom. While students are engaged in purposeful centers, we, the teachers have the opportunity to help students, work individually or with a smaller group, to meet the individual needs of students.

The munchkins worked so well, I was really impressed with them.

Kudos to all for working hard, asking questions, lending a hand and winning those awards in IXL math!

I'm so proud of my students! Keep it up!

IXL math

Dear Parents,

I am pleased to tell you that we will be using a website called IXL in our classroom this year. IXL is a comprehensive math review site with an unlimited number of practice questions in hundreds of skills—all of which are aligned to the provincial curriculum. One of the best things about IXL is that your child can access it from home, so you have a chance to see your child's progress!

To get your child started on your home computer, please follow these easy steps:

1. In addition to making math practice exciting, IXL is designed to help your child learn at his or her own pace. The website is adaptive and will adjust to your child's demonstrated ability level. The site also saves all of your child's results, so you can monitor your child's progress anytime by clicking on Reports at the top of the page.Go to www.IXL.com/signin/pierre
2. Enter your child's username and password and click Sign in. 
   I just sent you an email with your munchkin's username and password :)
3. Click on Maths at the top of the page and navigate to your child's grade level.
4. Find a skill to practise by doing one of the following:
   • Select a specific skill to practise from the list of skills. You can place your mouse over any skill to see a sample question and click on the link to begin.
   • Go to the Awards section. Each grade level presents challenges for your child to conquer and virtual prizes to be uncovered. Place your mouse over any challenge to begin.

I hope you'll encourage your son or daughter to use IXL daily. 

Here's to a year of working together to make math fun for your child!

Sincerely,

Miss Lopez

Another day in class 303

Hi everybody!

I hope you are all doing great!  Can't wait to meet you all on Thursday at Meet the teacher night!  I've received some wonderful emails from some of you!  I know we are going to have an amazing year!

We had a very busy day today.  Miss Maria, our pastoral animator, visited our classroom.  We had a fire drill!  The munchkins did fantastically well by way.   We also met our new librarian: Mme Linda and she gave us a brand new Dr. Seuss bookmark.  What a great day!  Here are a few pictures to show you, and a cute little video so you can hear our beautiful voices!

Welcome back to school!

Hello everyone,
What a wonderful day we had yesterday!  We really enjoyed ourselves!
We had our morning activities with Dynamix and went to the park in the afternoon!

I have a feeling it is going to be a wonderful school year!
