French Quiz note going home tomorrow

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Next Tuesday, October 23, 2012 your child will have a French quiz based on the work that we have completed to date.  This quiz will be all matching.  We will focus on some listening comprehension activities in class at a later date.

For the purposes of this quiz your child should study the classroom French expressions sheet with the English equivalents in their duo-tang.  They should also study the page of objects in the classroom.  Finally, we have spent the last several classes working on identifying French place names in Newfoundland.  Each child has a sheet in their duo-tang with the French place name as well as the rough English translation.  As stated above, the students will need to match items.  They will be asked to match classroom objects to the appropriate word, French expressions to English and French Place names to English place names.  The objects in the classroom part of the quiz as well as the common French expressions will be evaluated as part of your child's French comprehension grade.  The French place names will be graded as a French culture mark.  You will also see two other items in your child's duo-tang which have already been evaluated for French culture, a Newfoundland Labrador French place names wordsearch as well as the Newfoundland and Labrador Francophone flag.

In the weeks to come we will be working on a new unit of study Vive L'amitié!  The theme of the unit is Friendship.  Your child will learn how to describe a class friend in French in terms of physical characteristics, personality traits, favourite colours and pastimes.

As part of this current unit I am asking each child to bring 4 photos of their friends to school.  A friend could be a neighbour, sibling, family pet, penpal, cousin or teammate.  The photo does not need to be on actual photo paper, a printed copy is fine.  For the purposes of this work 4x6 photos work best.  I would like the students to have the photos in school by Friday, October 26,  2012 so that we can begin our French photo albums.  All photos will be returned to the student and we will use scotch tape to attach the pictures.

Thank you for your continued help and support,

St. John's Recycling

Well today history was made for many people in the East End of St. John's.  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the blue bags of recycling on my street this morning!  At Mary Queen of Peace we recycle on a regular basis.  We recycle juice containers and our paper.  As a teacher I am trying to do my part by double siding my photocopying more regularly.  I also like to remind my students to use up all the space in their exercise books before they begin a new page.  Part of our Health program this year involves learning about the 3 R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).  If you have a chance please talk to your child about the importance of recycling.  It is their planet and they are our future!  Have a look at the photo of my recycling below. As for what was happening in our class today... the friendly letters were continued.  Many thanks to the parents who have already supplied mailing addresses. Math today was a little rough.  The students are learning how to effectively commu

Our Plays

By Anonymous -
Today we officially unveiled our plays to some wonderful audiences.  We began our day by presenting to Ms. White's class as well as Ms. Harris, Mme. Collett and Ms. Cleary.  The students also performed for their Kindergarten buddy readers and this afternoon they will perform once more for Mr. Yetman's class. Tomorrow I will be videotaping the students as they present their plays.  I plan on creating two cd's so that one boy and one girl can take home the video each night.  It should take about ten school nights before everyone at home sees the great work!  I am sure all parents are excited to see how the plays turned out. Many thanks to the parents who sent in props for our play.  A big thank you to all the parents who ran lines with their child in preparation for today's performance.
