Good Morning Lyonsgate Families,

Toddler Show & Share is this week; please see the Toddler section.

Also, the weather forecast for this week is a bit of a wild one. Please keep an eye on the forecast for each day to ensure children have the appropriate outer wear for the day.

Hello Toddler Families,

This week, we are offering a Show and Share. This is a wonderful chance to come into the classroom with your children and explore together. It is an opportunity for your child to show you around and maybe even give you some lessons!

If you still need to register for a Show & Share visit, please see the email “Toddler Show & Share Sign-Up” sent Feb. 20.

Ms. Gervais.

Bonjour Chers Parents,

“Merci!” to all the parents that came to our Parent Education event last Thursday. I just want to add that all the language activities we presented to you that lead to reading, it’s the same process of teaching French. For example: Moveable Alphabet, Sandpaper Letters, Sound Games, Classified Cards, and reading small books phonetically are all Montessori materials and activities practiced in French. Once the students master those activities in English, they are introduced in French as well.

Lately, we have worked on three different communication phrases:

  • Quelle est ta couleur préferée?
  • Quelle est ta saison préferée?
  • Quel est ton animal préferé?

Songs:

  • Un éléphant qui se balancer…
  • Un petit pouce qui dance
  • Une souris verte

Our Casa North students enjoyed a collection of books written by Mo Williams:

  • Quelqu’un a pris mon ballon!
  • Pas facile d’attendre!
  • Veux-tu jouer dehors?

Bonne semaine à tous!

Mme Murati

Upper Elementary Outing — Thursday, February 29

Upper Elementary students are reminded to be prepared with their red Lyonsgate t-shirt, their Presto card, and comfortable footwear for this month’s outing. The students will be taking public transit to Princess Point to access the Desjardins Recreation Trail for a winter hike. Students are welcome to bring along a simple nut-free snack and light-weight water bottle, and should be prepared for whatever weather we may encounter!

Open Classroom Art Show — Monday, March 4

Family members are invited to join us as the classroom is transformed into a gallery of student artwork. The classroom will be open to visitors from 3:15 p.m.-4:15 p.m. Sweet treats prepared by our student fundraising team will be available for purchase in support of KidsSport Canada.
