Storytime Pajama Party

Mark your calendars: Storytime Pajama Party, Friday January 6th, 6pm-8pm.

Get dressed in your PJ's and head back to school to join Monsieur Conrad and for a story (one in French, one in English)! There will be cookies and hot chocolate, and every child will get a book to take home.

See you there!

Informé et Instruit

For our current unit of inquiry, students are reading about the way different items are made (such as oil paint, ice cream, ballet slippers) and then drawing the system used for the fabrication and distribution of the item. Through this, students are becoming more knowledgable ( one of our PYP profile traits) and are also demonstrating an understanding of human-made systems.

A trip to the Symphony!

Thanks to a Donors Choose project that Madame Michelle put together, the 2nd and 3rd grade students are going to the symphony on February 8!  We are very excited about this opportunity to take the students to see a performance of The Magic Flute by Mozart.

Fête d'Hiver / Winter Celebration

Regarding the fête d'hiver  (this Thursday, 12/15 from  6:00 - 8:00), your child can either wear their formal uniform or dress up.  This is not a potluck, but families may bring a tray of cookies to share.

Please send your child to his/her classroom at 5:50 so that we can come down together as a class. 

In class, we have started our new unit of inquiry, and we are excited to see how the students are approaching are approaching the question of human-made systems. Today we learned how oil paint is made and last week we explored the distribution of bananas- how they make it all the way to our plates.
