Happy Holidays!

Wishing you a happy and relaxing holiday with your family and friends!

Remember - the holidays is the perfect time to snuggle up with a good book! 

(Be sure to keep track of the books you read so you can add them to your reading list.)

See you next year!

The Caldecott Award!

The Caldecott Medal is awarded every year by the Association for Library Service to Children to the artist of the most distinguished picture book for children.
Here in Room 209 we're reading and evaluating a pile of picture books to make our predictions on who should win! 

We'll find out if our predictions are correct when the Caldecott Medal is awarded in January.

Kindness!

In English Language Arts, we have been exploring Kindness through reading, viewing, discussing, role-playing and writing.
Each student has now created a list poem titled Top 10 Ways To Be Kind.
Hopefully we can put these ideas into practice this month and during the holidays!

CFOO!

In Français, it's time for another CFOO (Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 

This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short speeches.
For this presentation, students must choose one of the five Creativity options: a magic trick, a commercial, a read aloud, telling jokes / riddles or showing off creative uses for an everyday object. They will then prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the page they have in their binder).
Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.

The CFOO Presentations will take place on Friday, December 16th. 

Report Cards!

Report Cards go home today!

Please email Mme McKenzie at lmckenzie@sjsd.net to confirm receipt of your child's report card.

Thank you!
