We are very busy in Grade One! We have been practicing our folk dances and will “celebrate” at the school’s dance event- February 14th, Valentine’s Day! As well, we will be making Valentine holders to place our “friendship” valentines into. On February 16th (Flag Day is actually recognized in Canada on Feb.15) we will celebrate Flag Day– Heritage Day. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to share their heritage, customs, and culture with us. Remember to wear red and white on February the 16th, the colours of our Maple Leaf flag! The Grade Ones are learning a song, Let’s Wave and Say Hello (tune- Farmer in the Dell). We can say “hello” in several languages, already!
Let’s wave and say hello, Let’s wave and say hello, Let’s say hello to all our friends, Let’s wave and say hello!
How do you say hello in your language? Chinese– ni hao ( nee how), Iranian/Faarsi-shalom, French– bonjour, Italian- ciao (chow), Spanish– hola, Russian– prevet, Philippines/Tagalog-Kumustaka, Korean– Ahn Nyong ( un yong), Albanian– C’Kemi … Listen to us sing!
