Lalilo has said that they are up and running again after having a bit of a crash from so many users on at once (good for you, students!). So, if you feel like doing some French work, you can give that another try this week.

Here is a much shorter video than the one I originally recorded for you - just a little HELLO and THANK YOU 💗




Hello to my Special Grade Two Friends!

Hello to all my beautiful friends from room 113. Boy, how I've been missing you and thinking about you since we said goodbye on Friday, March 13th. I recorded a little video to say "hi" that I tried all day yesterday to upload, but my internet is being tricky! I'll post it as soon as I'm able to upload it 😊

First of all, I hope you are all healthy and happy and that you've been able to spend lots of cozy time with the people (and pets) in your home. If anything, I think we've all really begun to appreciate the importance of family during this rather tricky and confusing time while we work together as a community to keep everyone safe and healthy.

As your parents may know already, some websites have been created to help with online learning for the next two weeks while next steps are in development. While websites can be a great tool for learning, we all encourage you to spend time outside, read your favourite books, play board games with siblings and try new things at home like baking, building and crafting with your siblings and parents  -- these are all very important activities that also provide so much learning. If you've been enjoying doing some of those things (and more), well done! I'd LOVE to hear about what you've been up to.

Over the next two weeks, your teachers will be having meetings online to pull together and try to figure out how to best support you and your learning if we are not able to return to school for a longer period of time than expected. 

***If you can, please COMMENT on this post so I know that you've seen it and that you currently have access to internet in your home. Drop me line about how you're doing, too! To leave a comment, scroll to the very bottom of this post and you'll see a box to type into. Please sign your name so I know who is typing. 


With Love,
Mme Glenn-Lynes

My Favorite Artists - I Miss You💜

These are the faces I miss so much! My fabulous artists, with their beautiful self-portraits:





















"L'hyme de la vie"

Here is a new French song we are currently learning. I've sent home the lyrics today that can be read up to 3x each to count as a French reading log entry. I've also included the YouTube music video so the students can sing along and hear the proper pronunciation.

Happy singing!

Paroles de la chanson "L'hymne de la vie" par Kids United Nouvelle Génération

Toi, enfant de la terre écoute-moi
Toi qui, as le secret de la joie
Toi, qui connais les rêves porteurs d'espoirs
Va, recommence notre histoire

Oh vous, enfants de lumière suivez-moi
Vous qui, connaissez notre passé
Pars, enfant de la terre sauve de l'oubli
Les mondes engloutis

Suis, l'hymne de la vie le plus beau, reste à faire
Enfant pars, et vole avec nous pour sauver, notre terre
Enfant suis, l'hymne de la vie le plus beau, reste à faire

Sois, les forêts, le ciel, les océans
Écoute, le message que porte le vent
Va, vaincre la misère, la faim, le froid
Tu, gagneras tous les combats

Oh toi, enfant de la terre n’oublie pas
Dis-moi, que demain elle revivra
Sois, le soleil qui viendra dans la nuit
Pour, nous sauver la vie

Suis, l'hymne de la vie le plus beau, reste à faire
Enfant pars, et vole avec nous pour sauver, notre terre
Enfant suis, l'hymne de la vie le plus beau, reste à faire


Oh toi, enfant de la terre n’oublie pas
Dis-moi, que demain elle revivra
Sois, le soleil qui viendra dans la nuit
Pour, nous sauver la vie

Suis, l'hymne de la vie le plus beau, reste à faire
Enfant pars, et vole avec nous pour sauver, notre terre

Enfant suis, l'hymne de la vie le plus beau, reste à faire
