NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Just a reminder that the Maples PTA will be supporting a student run bake sale and parent coffee run on Monday February 8th.  Funds raised will go towards Choices Youth Shelter in Orangeville.


Bake sale:  Please support this student outreach event by sending in homemade nut-free treats for the bake sale. Students and parents can purchase treats during lunch recess and afterschool.


Coffee: Starbucks has generously donated takeout 15-cup containers of their delicious coffee.  It will be freshly brewed and ready for you to take first thing in the morning (February 8th) as a nice treat for your work colleagues.  Send an email to: slmilone@rogers.com if you would like to order a container (it can be available for you as early as 7:15AM).  As well, students will be serving Starbucks coffee at morning drop off to all parents (and teachers).



Grade 3/4 The students have completed the animal unit and presented a good description. They collaborated to use the dictionary and it was interesting to see how keen and creative they were. Well done!

Grade 7/8 Friday was prime time to get the two groups working together.
Adjectives was the subject and much was accomplished.

Grade 1/2 We are making chain work to learn the units of time. Wow, they have good memory!

JK/SK The topic today was the story of Knut, l'ours polaire. They already know so much. We also started with the words to indication the location of things. Hear them sing!
