Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well, and enjoying all the snow. We have had a few very busy weeks in January and it will continue until June. :) There has definitely been a lot of learning happening in room 214.

In language, students are finishing their picture books and after reading all their rough drafts I am truly impressed by their work. I cannot wait to see the final product!

Mathematics - We've started working on Measurement, and we are working on converting meters, kilometers, millimeters, centimeters and decimeters. We will then move onto telling time. EXCITING NEWS: MATH MARDI!!!!! - Every Tuesday during lunch students may stay in for extra help with Math. 

Students have a Social Studies test next Wednesday. All the material that they need to study is in their folder that they will be taking home to study over the weekend. They have all completed presentations and came up with their fact sheets. It is important for them to study these fact sheets (the ones that they made up for their presentations) as I will be taking questions from them. The format of the test will be: fill in the blanks (with a word box), multiple choice questions, and questions (where they will be required to answer them in full sentences).  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_SzDLdN4urcSjhOb2FQTVdJa1k/view?usp=sharing

Parent teacher interviews: Report Cards will be sent home during the week of  February 9th. Interviews  will be held on February 11th and 12th in the evening. I will be requesting to have interviews with certain parents/guardians otherwise they are not a necessity. However, if you would like to request an interview, you are more than welcome to do so.

As you are all aware, we performed a song by One Republic called I lived on December 18th 2014. The students did a phenomenal job. I also recorded the students singing the song and created a video to go with it. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=693yAOHsC4M  ENJOY!!! 

As always, if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me at the school , through the agenda or at mlleibrahim4@gmail.com.

Thank you for your support,
Mlle. Ibrahim

Bonne année!

Happiest of New Years! I hope this year brings all of you much success, joy, love and peace. 

We are back to business in room 214! We have already accomplished a lot in the last few months and we will continue to do so.

Français: Students ended off the year with irregular French verbs. They received their French tests back and were asked to get them signed. We started this year learning about the passé compose (past tense). This is a rather difficult concept for students to understand so we will be spending a lot of time learning it. Here is a link that can help you out: https://www.laits.utexas.edu/tex/gr/tap2.html
Students also wrote their resolutions for the New Year.

Mathematics: We are currently working on Chapter 3 in Mathematics. Students will be having a test on Chapter 3 on Tuesday January 20^th 2015.
