Hi folks!

Today we had our SNAP graduation with cupcakes, a certificate, pencil and bracelet. Ask your student what it's all about! Here are some pictures to see: Mme. Robichaud | King Street Elementary (nbed.nb.ca) Our SNAP reward will be a painting class and canvas with treats. We will be doing this on Thursday afternoon.

We've been learning about Lunar New Year and have made lanterns. Tomorrow (Tuesday), we will be decorating our laterns. If students have any special stickers or ribbons they'd like to bring in to decorate their lantern, they are welcome to do so.

Students have new guided reading books in English and French, along with French word cards to review at home on a daily basis. We fell off the wagon since Christmas and will have every one set-up once again by mid-week. Also, students have Lalilo accounts (in English & French) and Splash Learn accounts (for Math) if you'd rather do those at home for their 15 minutes of homework. It's all good and options and variations are helpful.

For February we will be doing a Reading Bingo instead of the Monthly Math Challenge. Students are to read their guided reading books for this, or an appropriate levelled book of their choice. Once completed, send it in for a ticket!

Tuesday & Thursday we will be painting in our class. Feel free to bring a change of clothes or paint shirt.

*Solo speech forms are due February 6th for those interested.*

All for now!

Hi folks!

After a wild start to the week with a snow day, school delay and a gazillion fire alarms, we are back at 'er! We've been learning about important people who have made positive change for Canada and the US. So far we've discussed Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Barack Obama and Viola Desmond. I strongly encourage everyone to continue these conversations at home - not only during Black History Month but every month! The Lunar New Year is coming and we will be having a fun time on Monday making some paper lanterns. Students will be given a red envelope to share with you at home.

In Math, Grade 3 students have mastered addition with regrouping and now are working on subtraction with regrouping. We will then be moving on to basic multiplication. Grade 4 students have covered multiplication facts and are now concentrating on division. They will be moving on to multiplying 3 digit by 1 digit numbers. Getting to the big leagues now!

Science experiments and learning about the Scientific Method is in full swing. Grade 3 students are covering NB nature and animals. Grade 4 students are looking at countries of the world. In English we are puttering along too - finishing graphic novel unit.

Grade 4 students have a quiz on January 25th on NB provinces and their capitals.

As I type this out, we are learning LOTS!!! Best get back to the students! We have a lot to do. Pictures will be posted to our website later today of our week.

As always, feel free to shout out!

Hi Folks!

Happy fake Friday! No school for students tomorrow as it is Parent-Teacher. Just wanted to let you know quickly of a few things before the weekend....

#1) Students have some writing pieces we are completing before Christmas. Grade 3 students are learning about the government and are writing an opinion piece of a rule or law they'd like to change. Their "homework" this weekend is to come up with something they'd like to change in the house, school, province etc. Ex. bedtime, screen time, chewing gum, driving age etc. Grade 4 students are learning about Canada and will be doing research on a province or territory other than NB. Their "homework" this weekend is to narrow down a province they'd like to learn more about.

#2) There's a pair of "Outbound" black winter boots that have been left at the school by our hooks. If they're your child's, please let me know!

All for now!

Hi folks!

Report cards go home tomorrow (Tuesday). Parent-Teacher interview times are in your child's agenda. If you need to change you time, please let me know.

Our Christmas Concert is Wednesday @12:30 (please note that the K-2 concert is at 9am). Please have your child dress-up and look their sharpest for the concert. If you need any help with this, let me know. The snow date is Thursday.

There is no school on Friday for students due to parent-teacher interviews.

All for now!

Hi folks!

Just a super quick reminder that we go to the airport tomorrow. Like any day, please have your child ready with winter gear (coat, hat, mitts, boots especially) as we will be outside all morning. Also, to better encourage kids to dress warmly and appropriately for the weather, we have a class reward system going on.

Please check out our class website with some new pictures. Mme. Robichaud | King Street Elementary (nbed.nb.ca)

Hi folks!

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is JERSEY day! And, there is no school for students on Friday.

Also, students were excited to bring home their first BIG piece of writing of the year. About half the class was finished so I sent those home today. Please sign and return. If you didn't receive one today, you will in the next few days. Math tests will head home tomorrow to be signed and returned too.

All for now!
