Les boys et les enfants!!!
Thank you les enfants for being you and keeping me young. You make my occupation the best one there is. Parents, you have phenomenal kids, don't forget to tell them!
Les enfants, rest up and be safe on the roads or in the air but make sure you have a pile of fun!!!
Come back and visit the blog. Winners for the January 7th Tigers game to be announced sometimes during the holiday!
We will see you soon les enfants!
Hola... oh my goodenessss.... one morning left!!! Can you believe it??? Time flies when we are having fun. We can see the 'artistes en chef' working on their new team banners. They will hang from the ceiling with the hockey jerseys right above their pods when they posse up!!!
We only have one last writing prompt to finish and hand in tomorrow. One more math lesson with our new fraction unit under the watchful eye of a secret guest! Let us impress her les enfants and be the best at setting up... We will also watch a quick episode of Dr. Sears for Health and then quiz up. Following all this Mr. Beaulieu has a secret game that we might get to play. Earning required... are you picking up what I'm laying down les enfants!?!
I promised the kids I would bring my two furry kids tomorrow... I shave them down usually before I show them in public but I don't have time before tomorrow :) Rio likes to clean ears right out while Picasso is a master French kisser so beware les enfants... It will be a fun morning and it will go fast, super fast. I am looking forward to seeing you tomorrow les enfants!
Big day tomorrow les enfants, we are going skating and we will try to play some hockey. That is right, no need to bring your sticks though as we have all the equipment we need here. M. Beaulieu wheeled and dealt and so we have one shot... We shall try it out and if you guys do well we will repeat the experience.
Today, Jade is the star of the week and will have her cutie pie mug on the home page for the next three weeks due to the holiday break. Please go visit our main page to see why Jade got the nod this week.
Busy week indeed we have. Skating tomorrow, bowling the day after that, yes I know les enfants, M. Beaulieu wrote the wrong day on the note that went home. Indeed, we are going on the Wednesday the 18th. It's going to be fun fun fun! We hope to see many parents tag along.
Holy Tolido as one of my lady friends would say. We are rocking out our E.L.A. and our Math. It has been an ordeal to get the Senteo to work as central office is flooded at this time of the year with requests etc. We got the software sorted out but now Excel is acting up... oh my goodennnnessssss.... one needs patience in the world sometimes but we got some right les enfants!?!
We have our bowling handouts going home today. Please be prompt in returning them. Oui Monsieur we got some bowling happening so parents mark your calendars and try to come play with us for a bit. Thursday, December 18th from 11h to 12h. We are also skating on the 17th... do not forget your gear les enfants!!!
Okidoks as I like to say, that covers most for now. Oh, we had an epic 'attrappe le drapeau' game in the gym today. I even burnt my corduroy pants... I got too much into it... it's not the first pair... but it was fun!
Ciao for now, ton prof singing out!
Social... well, there are only so many days left and next Monday M. Beaulieu will collect all the social lap books done or not. That's right les amis... some of you can get nervous! Once the time is up, the time is up!
What else is new in our world? We might have a cool outing before the break. Look for a note to go home tomorrow... oui Monsieur!!! I like field trips!
From now on too, we are going to make Monsieur Orge (our new custodian) mucho proud of us as we will keep our classroom impeccably clean. With the science projects and other classrooms coming in we have let up on our cleanliness but we shall revert the trend, oui ou non les enfants?
Get some shoveling done les enfants, help out your parents with that! We shall see you tomorrow.
Ciao for now, ton prof signing out!
Il reste combien de lundi avant Noël???
Well, the answer to that is pas beaucoup... sad or happy... a bit of both... right les enfants!
Monday madness!!! That is what I call it because it goes by so fast. Note that Cassidy takes the star of the week and also made the blog today. Double couronne pour Cassidy!!! A rare event indeed, méga giga extra Cassidy (double clap!). Please take a minute to go visit our main page to see why Cassidy got the nod this week. She has quite the pose as well.
Seems like we are working extra hard or we got extra smart or maybe both? What do you figure les enfants? We are advancing well in our E.L.A. 6+1 and same goes in our new math Module. Perhaps... if everything stays the same les enfants M. Marcotte and I will bring you to a small outing before the vacation... perhaps! We do have one though scheduled on the 17th of December for the Tigers game. Oui Monsieur, 7 lucky students will be drawn from the tin and shall indulge in a hockey game with some popcorn etc. and their two teachers. More on that later this week.
Alrighty, make sure you finish today's lessons les enfants if not done already. I will collect the writing prompts first thing in the morning mañana and we shall draw a few names to see who will present their prompt and drawing first.
Youpie c'est vendredi... mais il fait -40!!!
Oh my goodenessssssssss, talk about coldenesssssss!!! I was talking to my Mexican friend Alfredo via Skype last night. I lived in Veracruz for half a year and we became good friends. He says he would like to learn how to snowboard one day. I always told him that mi casa es su casa but he will never come. Why you may ask... because of days like this. He literally thinks he will die if he were there while the weather got this cold. Last night, when I told him that it'd be about -40 with the wind chill he could not believe the schools would still be open. He knows a bit of English so whenever they get my microphone going I will introduce him to the classroom. Kids are also looking forward to meet my friend Pter from Czech Republic. He is a funny dude and he is learning English very well. It really rings true with the kids to see second language learners like them. The advantage your kids have is that you started very young parents and that is one of the best gifts you can give to your progeny. Maybe not now so much, but eventually they will see the full value of what you are doing for them and will be forever grateful.
We had our featured students assembly for this month today. Jade et Karli got the nod from their peers and presented each other. They used their best British accent for their short speeches which is always very endearing. Friday is dress down or no tie day for M. Beaulieu so that is why I am not wearing one today. Plus, it would be hard to bust out all those dance moves at lunch with a tie on would you not agree les enfants?
Did we ever have a good Health class today!?! We watched the first installment of Dr. Sears 9 simple steps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVpHApr3C-4 I recommend every parent/family to take the time and watch it with your children. It is very enlightening and gives a good understanding especially for the kids of how important nutrition can be. As usual, kids had a bazillions questions and it always takes us on tangents. Then, we have to get back to our moutons (ask your kids about this French expression). Questions were brought us to topics such as today's milk, meat, pop and leather among other things... Again, I have to say parents that your kids are the smartest/most inquisitive I have had the pleasure to teach and get to know. It obviously comes from home so more power to you for empowering your kids with curiosity, an inquisitive mind and open mindedness. On this note, make yourselves a fantastic weekend.
I am looking forward to seeing you next Monday my young Padawans!
