Wednesday, September 18

Today we spent some time exploring and practicing our numbers in French from 1-100. We listened to some very catchy songs and also used the helpful list below. Students are encouraged to practice their numbers at home.
We are very excited for our first field trip of the year tomorrow, to the wetland at Heritage Park! We will be departing just after the morning bell, at 9:15, so it is very important that students arrive on time and are ready to go. Please dress to be outside for a good portion of the day, and rain boots might be helpful for the wetland environment. Students need to bring a lunch (preferably wasteless), water bottle, snack, and clothing layers. Adult volunteers will also need to bring a lunch as there isn't anywhere to purchase food nearby. Students are reminded to be respectful and on their best behaviour during the trip, as they are representing our school and our classes, and we also want them to get as much out of this experience as possible. This hands on component of our wetlands science unit is a very important part of the curriculum, as this is our only opportunity to examine first hand the living things found in a wetland and the wetland environment itself.
