Bonjour,

We enjoyed our last day of 2019 in Salle 6!  We had les 5 au quotidien and we wrote more bucket fillers and worked on winter writing activities.

After recess I put the students to work and we did a small quiz on magnets.  We did more snowman math talks, practicing our problem solving skills.

This afternoon we finished our social studies art and had centres.  We played outside and watched an episode of le bus magique.

I sent home four books for home reading.

Wishing you all a very happy holidays and looking forward to the new year!
