Des recettes de sorciers et de sorcières

Students in CE1 became witches and wizards and had a blast creating their own magical recipes.  Concoctions for spicy candies, spaghetti soup, rat cake, dragon egg salad, and other recipes were all mixed in class this week!

Winter Performance

Congratulations to our entire school community for their Winter Performance last Monday.  This celebration of music, dance, and classroom performances was impressive and also a testament to our mission of students being immersed in French.  To see our students perform in front of a large audience but also 'en française' is extraordinary. Bravo!

We would like to thank our talented and creative faculty for their efforts.  We are very proud of our teaching team and their dedication.  Also, a heartfelt thank you to parents for supporting our school's mission and giving the gift of a second language to your child.

Bouncing Eggs

The 2nd Grade/CE1 English Language Arts class have been having a lot of fun.  Recently they began a 'How-To' unit, where they will publish their own 'How-To' book.

In order to prepare for the writing project, students have been reading many 'How-to' books.  We read the book 'How to Bounce an Egg' and followed the steps.  After three days time, we had bouncing eggs in English class!  Students recorded their observations each day and had a lot of fun bouncing the egg!

Stay tuned... the 'How-to' books will be coming soon.

Nutrition Presentation

Liz Strawbridge, proud mom of Cody in Grade 2, spoke to the 2nd and 3rd grade classes about nutrition and sugar.  In the presentation, Liz taught students about healthy sugar intake, as well as how to read nutrition labels.  Students examined a variety of snacks and beverages and put them in sequential order from healthy to not healthy by looking at the nutrition labels.  Liz also discussed the use of chemicals and preservatives in our food.  Merci Liz for a wonderful presentation!

Let it snow!

If it snows soon, we need to thank Elodie, Victorien, and all the GS/CP students!  This week they excitedly made 'bonhomme de neige' cookies in celebration of winter and our December birthdays.

Jackson Pollock Inspired Art

The CE1/CE2 art class certainly had an exciting art class!  Eggs were filled with paint and then dropped or thrown onto a canvas to create 'drip' inspired artwork, inspired by Jackson Pollock. Similar to Pollock's style, we practiced painting without touching the canvas. This was surely an art class we won't forget!

Winter Performance Preparation

Students have been hard at work practicing songs and dance for their winter performance where they will sing, dance, and recite a story! Here they are singing and making winter crowns to wear on Monday!

Crepe Tasting

The crepe tasting party was the final reward for the CM1/CM2/6íeme class completing their multiplication and division wheels.  Students practiced daily multiplication and division facts and were limited in time to 40sec per wheel. Fifth and sixth graders also learned cubes and squares up to 10. Upon completion of all the multiplication and division facts, they were rewarded with crepes. Thank you Julie and Dasha for making 40 delicious crepes in 10 minutes!

November Birthday Celebration

This week, to celebrate November birthdays, students made gingerbread together! We worked on naming the ingredients we used, we followed the recipe steps in sequential order, colored a gingerbread man, and of course, ended the day with a delicious gingerbread snack! Yum!
