Sentence Structures!

These are some of the sentence structures that we will be using daily in kindergarten all year long.  I am introducing these new sentences a few at a time.  We have been working on "Bonjour", "Aurevoir", "Est-ce que je peux aller aux toilettes, s'il-vous-plaît?" and "Est-ce que je peux me laver les mains, s'il-vous-plaît?"  I have added other sentences as we will be practicing the rest of these in the next few weeks.

Please feel free to have your child practice along with me.  I will be adding slideshows of all the new French vocabulary taught in class as well as videos of the children singing songs and reciting poems.

Let me know if ever you have any questions or concerns.

Merci!
Mme Godin

The afternoon class sings: "Bonjour mes amis!"

The morning class sings:"Bonjour mes amis!"

Parent Council!

The teachers at École Assiniboine would like to ask you to come out to the Parent Council meeting on Wednesday, October 4th at 6:00 p.m.

Here is a list of some of the great things the Parent Council is responsible for in our school:

- milk program at lunch

- pancake lunch during Festival du Voyageur

- School Family BBQ

- student agendas

- contribution to grade 5 farewell ceremony and celebration

- contributing parent voice to our staff and administration

The Parent Council requires your help.  More parent volunteers might even mean the return of occasional hot lunches for students.

Currently we do not have enough members for quorum and if we do not have quorum, the Parent Council will fold.  Please consider giving some of your valuable time. The meetings occur once a month on Wednesday from 6:00 until 7:00 p.m.

Thank you!

École Assiniboine staff

This Week in Kindergarten!

We survived our very first full week of kindergarten!  What a fun and busy week it was!

The boys and girls are practicing to print their names.

They also added eyes, ears, noses, mouths and hair to these faces.

Sharing materials to decorate the first letter in our names.

Going over the letters in our names with Q tips and red paint (rouge).

We played a game to practice saying "le cercle" (circle).  The boys and girls danced to music.  When the music stopped, they had to freeze and repeat together "le cercle".

We went on a hunt for objects in the classroom that are "rouge" and then we sorted them.

Sorting circles from other shapes on the SMARTboard.

We also had a practice fire drill so that we are better prepared for when we have one with the entire school.

Practicing to line up to drink water after gym.

And of course, we did lots of playing!

Building marble mazes.

Playing with all of the trucks and cars.

The Play-doh centre.

Building with the large blocks.

Playing with the trains.

Cooperating at the large Lego centre.
