Sewing in December!

Bonjour!

We are starting a sewing project in December and to be successful, there are some items you will need to bring to school. Sewing is an amazing skill and provides an opportunity for creative expression. Students develop a lot of pride when creating a piece that is unique because they put in all the effort themselves.

Students will receive a pattern to design a stocking or small pillow case.

Students are required to bring the following items:

-Sewing needle, pins and thread (please place in a labelled container)

Please note: A larger needer with larger eye is easier for beginners!

-Fabric of choice (enough to sew a stocking or small pillow)

-Optional (buttons, jewels, etc)

Please bring to school by November 29, 2022.

November 24 Early Dismissal

Email sent earlier this week:

Dear Families of Division 2,

We hope you are well and are keeping warm in this cooler weather! We are really enjoying working with your children. They have been working hard in class on various assignments and overall, work very well together as a group. We can’t believe Term 1 is already coming to an end and winter break is around the corner!

A friendly reminder that there will be an early dismissal on Thursday, November 24 at 1:45 p.m. While we met with all families individually (in person, zoom or phone) in the Fall, on November 24, we will only be connecting with families where we feel a need to further discuss academic and/or social emotional growth.  However, if you have concerns, please contact us and we will be happy to have a discussion.

Warmly,

Bianca Lavorata & Michelle Panagiotou

Request for Holiday/Winter Classroom Decor!

Bonjour!

Students of Division 2 are feeling festive and would like to decorate our classroom. If you have any holiday/winter decor you don’t mind us using until the winter break, we would be very thankful! Please label everything with your child’s name 🙂

Merci!

Schoolwork Page

Bonjour!

This is a friendly reminder that work is posted on our Schoolwork page on our class blog.

Bystander and Upstander

This morning, we learned about bystanders and upstanders in a given situation. Feel free to have a conversation at home about this topic. Students will be completing definitions and examples in class, which will go in their HACE section of their binder. Some great critical thinking this morning, everyone!

Bonjour tout le monde!

We are working on building community and building positive connections in our classroom and school environment. We care about our students’ emotional growth and embrace a culture that is welcoming, safe, comfortable and respectful. We invite everyone to discuss this at home with their families too, as we are a team (together everyone accomplishes more).

Warmly,

Mme Bianca & Mme Panagiotou

Welcome! Bienvenue!

Bonjour! I am so excited our class blog is up and running again! We hope you find the information useful. I will be updating the Schoolwork page this week, so you are aware of what your child is working on at school. Thank you for your support, everyone!

Mme Bianca 🙂
