Tomorrow, October 10, 2024, our class along with Madame Prince's class will be going for a walk.  We will be going downtown to go for a walking tour of the Downtowns Great Pumpkin Walk.  Please make sure your child is dressed properly for the walk with proper footwear, jacket, etc. We will be leaving the school shortly after 1:00 and returning before 2:45. This activity will be weather dependent.

Thank you, 

Madame Robichaud

Happy October!

A short week. Please note that the Thanksgiving meal pre-order is due on Thursday, October 3rd (to be eaten the following week). Terry Fox donations are being accepted until Friday with school rewards granted on Friday too (some teachers may be getting water balloons or pies thrown at them, if our school raises $1700 I have to wear a shark costume for the day!). Memo heading home for Cross-country participants today about a location change.

*Special note: thank you to the kids for all the fun birthday wishes and gifts today.

Highlights of the rest of the week:

FRI: KSE library day

Hi folks! Happy Monday!

Homework is officially starting today! Students are going home with their agenda and homework folder. You will find their levelled French book in their homework folder. Tomorrow you will also find a levelled English book in their homework folder. Their homework is written in their agenda.

Each night please sign their agenda and circle/write what you did for homework. I understand that evenings can be busy. Some families like to do lots of homework. Other families prefer minimal amounts. French reading, English reading, sight words and a Math game is the most you would ever complete. Students are expected to do at least one. Lalilo in English or French is always an option too.

Our Math game this week: Remove the face cards and tens. Divide the pack in half. Flip two cards and say the two-digit number in French. A pack of cards and two dice will be needed for Math games throughout the year.

*Cross-country folks - if your child is staying for cross-country please write this in their agenda so that I know they have a drive arranged.

Reminders for the week:

WED - Meet the teacher @KSE @6-7pm

FRI- Library Day!

You made it! First week done!

Students are adjusting well and getting back into routine. We have a great group! Should ever you want to reach out, feel free to email me at maggie.robichaud@nbed.nb.ca.

So far we've gone over sight words in French and English. Homework will start on Monday with words highlighted for you to review. They will also share a Math warm-up game that we've been using to start Math classes.

You folks ROCKED at getting in all the paperwork! Our class is working toward a reward - on Wednesday, September 11th we will be going on our first field trip! Weather permitting, we will be walking to the Chatham Public Library. We will be taking out books and completing an activity in the park. A page will be going home on Monday with further details.

Cross-country will be starting on Monday for students who chose to join. If you think your child may like to join, please feel free to reach out. Practices are afterschool each Monday and meets in the Miramichi/Blackville areas on Wednesday. This is completely an optional activity. Drives are not provided, no parent volunteers are needed and there is no fee to join. On CC days, I do ask that you send a note in their agenda or email to confirm that drives have been arranged.

All for now!

Have a great weekend.

Hi folks!

This is Mme Young's last time with us. She wraps up her time on Wednesday with us. If your student has made anything special for her, Wednesday is the party! And, if you'd like to chip in for a gift - feel free to send it along by Tuesday. Mme Andrée-Anne's last day will be Tuesday May 7th if anyone has a special drawing etc for her. Any money for an extra gift will be collected by Monday. All optional of course!

Hi folks!

Students have moved onto our units on NB (Grade 3) and Canada (Grade 4). Grade 3 are nearing the end of their geometry unit. Grade 4 are writing their multiplication and division test tomorrow and moving onto geometry too. In English, students will begin their research projects - a biography. We've just finished the shared writing! Science is still roaring away too.

HOMEWORK: please read their guided reading book each night and work on Math for 5 minutes. Small examples, splashlearn and mental math games/cards go a long way!

MRS YOUNG & MME ANDREE-ANNE: Mme Andree-Anne has provided lots of extra support for some of our readers. Her time is nearing an end (her last day is May 30). Mme Young, our student teacher, is with us until May 1st. Some students were hoping to get a little something for both/either of these teachers. If you are interested in chipping in for a combined gift, please secretly send some money in. Gifts can also be homemade and brought in too! We've been lucky to have them both. If you decide to participate, simply send along with a label for whom and I'll hold them until our going away parties and make sure credit is given where credit is due.
