So the first week with a full class is done! The JKs have (for the most part) integrated quite well! I'm VERY impressed with many of them...already following directions well! We only had a few "meltdowns", so all in all I would classify it as a success! The SKs have been very helpful with helping their buddies along the way. Merci à tous! It is going to be a lovely "little" class of 25!
As for next week, we will be starting to learn more French - specifically les couleurs. As it turns out, Monday is the International Day of the Dot! What a perfect way to start learning our colors! I've sent home notes to ask that the students wear dots on Monday if possible. I would also like to thank everyone for sending in all their forms. I am still missing some, but plan on putting together volunteer calendars and Friendship lists soon. If you are planning on volunteering, you should know that John McCrae does not require police clearance checks. We are also grateful for all the supplies that have been brought in. Please be aware that the list that was sent home was a suggestion only. Do not feel obligated to purchase all the items on the list (although I won't complain if you do!). We are also collecting "beautiful junk" in the form of plastic water bottles, cardboard rolls, egg cartons or anything else that you might have lots of! If you have large amounts of "junk" I will find a use for it! (Pinterest is my best friend). We are also collecting family photos. Please send them in a.s.a.p. Have a wonderful weekend! Mme Ellis
