And that’s a wrap on Term 1!

Today was pretty chill. We did a class cleanup this morning followed by pancakes after recess and finished with a pretty chill class party. Thanks to everyone who brought yumyums to share!

Mme Huard and I would like to say an enormous thank you for all the kind gestures we received over the last week. You are so very generous and kind, and we appreciate it all. We wish you all the safest, healthiest and happiest winter break, and will see you in the new year!

Bonne année, à 2026! ❤

À vendredi!

What a fun day!

We started by watching the K-5 concert this morning, very well done and adorable!

This afternoon, the class introduced me to GimKit, super fun! We also did a fun “keep the beat” challenge several times, very entertaining 🙂

Tomorrow is rehearsal day for the 6/7 Ensemble Showcase. 7s need their instruments and 6s need whatever they might need.

Thursday- Concert Day! (instruments and whatever else, what are we wearing?) Also make sure you bring in your Secret Santa gift! If you don’t bring one in, you don’t get one in exchange!

Friday- we will do a little clean up/out of the chalet in preparation for the break, and you have purchased class party- Annika and Asuka are in charge!

À demain!

Happy last week before winter break!

This morning the 7s counted up their money and calculated their profit and 10% donation to Giving Trees. I can proudly share that the French Fries have so far donated $210!

After lunch we did some reading about Hanukkah and then learned how to play dreidel and ate some yummy treats.

Tomorrow is the Primary Winter Concert, so there is no band or music.

À demain!

Happy Soggy Monday. Some students are coming home damp from running around on the muddy fields during recesses.

2 more weeks until Winter Break!

We started our final text feature project today- Winter Traditions Around the World. Students have picked a different winter tradition and are creating a one-pager full of different text features. Due date is this Wednesday.

Tomorrow, we have our final meeting before the YE Fair on Friday. Come ready to finish your business plan and/or poster!

6mes- Musique demain

Missy D!

Today was a relatively chill day, Miss D concert to start, after recess we watched the back half of the FIFA pool draw then did our Examen de Dictée 5. After lunch we switched for ADST, the 6s worked on a fun project and the 7s worked on some financials for Young Entrepreneurs.

Grade 7s- this is your LAST weekend before the YE Fair on Friday! We will meet ONCE more before then, otherwise, keep working on:

Well that was a fun and productive day!

This morning we did our Dictée, then used some letter dice to play a vocab review game (my first time trying this), and it went really well! Everyone was super engaged! Can’t wait to try again!

We switched for Math, and the 6s are working on graphing in the first quadrant.

After recess, we did some English writing! Students were given the choice between 4 prompts and text structures, and spent the block brainstorming, planning, writing, reviewing and publishing their ideas.

After lunch we played some Blookets (for Dictée and Text Structures) before splitting off for the rest of the day.

  • Mismatch Day
  • Missy D Concert
  • Examen de Dictée 5 (BLOOKET ICI)

Well I had a great day! Our Dictée this week is one of my fav’s. Not sure the students feel the same… Played a super fun couple of sets against the 7s at lunch and had a blast.

    • Missy D Concert

Welcome to December! We officially have 3 weeks until Winter Break!

I am SO impressed with how everyone’s SICs went! The students did an amazing job showing off their learning and growth, and explaining all the different examples to their families. I am polishing up the documents and they will be available next week on MyEd.

The next 3 weeks will be busy with work, but also fun things as we near the break. We will do our best to keep up to date with all the things 🙂

Giving Tree Coin Drive is on all week. While we say we are collecting a certain coin each day, if you’d rather donate all on one day that’s fine as well. Anything helps!

Tomorrow is the Grade 7 vs Teacher Volleyball Game!!! Probably a day that I most look forward to each fall. Players- don’t forget your gear, spectators, don’t forget your donation to Giving Tree! Game on!

Les Devoirs:

  • demain: 6mes-Musique
    • 7mes- Math: Problem of the Week due
  • vendredi- Mismatch Day
    • Missy D Concert
  • vendredi prochain: Young Entrepreneurs Fair!

À demain!

le 25 novembre

Sorry for not posting yesterday, everything I had to say was a repeat of Monday, and I have been busy busy getting ready for conferences!

Speaking of, we are ready! The class has been busy the last 2 days reflecting and preparing a collection of their learning and growth over the last few months. I cannot wait for them to share everything with you, I am so proud of them!

Also, everyone has booked their conference, thank you! I believe everyone has also submitted their Family Reflection. I really appreciate your time on that!

I am basically booked back-to-back the next 2 days, so I ask that you arrive just a few minutes before your time and wait to be let in. I will do my best to not go over on time, we do have a buffer built in for that reason. If you are going to be late, please let me know.

The Book Fair is open! Hope you are able to stop by and check out the amazing books and other goods available, the library receives a portion of the sales to use towards our own collection so every little bit helps. It is a nice way to peruse French books, sometimes a tricky thing 🙂

Friday is our field trip to the Cinema to watch Le Robot Sauvage. I will be emailing the last few families who have yet to pay. Any student who has not paid and completed the permission form will be staying behind and put in a temporary space while we are away.

Just a note- Mme Huard and I have switched our days (Thursday and Friday) so that I can attend all the conferences. That means that Mme Huard is here on Friday and will be taking the class on the field trip (along with several other FI classes).

The Rest of this Week:

  • demain- no school except for conferences
  • jeudi- half day (12:33 dismissal)
  • vendredi- Mme Huard
    • Excursion au cinema

À demain ou jeudi!
