I Love to Read

I Love to Read month is in full swing at École Assiniboine. We have had a variety of activities to promote reading and share a love for books!

Last week, Jenna Khan from Breakfast Television visited our class and read a few Robert Munsch stories and answered the many questions the students had about her job, school and favourite author. You can visit the Breakfast Television website to see the clip that was filmed at our school.

This week, Tom Ethans from Take Pride Winnipeg visited and shared his favourite Franklin book "Franklin - Plants a Tree." He even practiced his French with the students.

We also went to the gym to watch magician Ryan Price amaze us with tricks and his love for reading and books.

I have loved reading and all types of books since I was a little girl. Reading is an activity that can take you to a faraway land and help you learn something new.

Happy New Year

I hope everyone had an enjoyable and relaxing holiday season. We are back at school and will be working on a variety of new things throughout the month of January.

In math, we are going to be working on multiplication strategies which will enable us to multiply 2 digit numbers. I suggest practicing multiplication flash cards at home.

In français, we will be working on writing a 2 minutes speech about a topic of choice. These speeches will be presented as part of the Concours d'art oratoire.

In science we will begin a unit on sound and vibrations. In sciences humaines, we are going to be learning about the Inuit and northern Canada.

January is also "I love to read month" and we have many fun activities planned. Any parents who would like to come in and read a book to the class can contact me via email.
