Bonjour!
I'm glad to see the number of parents who are checking the blog. Unfortunately I have no way of knowing which parents have viewed the blog. Could you please drop me a brief email saying that you are checking the blog. Thanks so much. I would also appreciate any feedback on the info posted to date.
As we are not to post any links which have not yet been approved by CSSD, these tips are straight out of Mme Jane's head!
Art:
Materials: Bright paper can be constuction paper or simply magazine paper. Alternatively they could make their own coloured paper by colouring strips of paper.
Glue, tape or even flour and water mixed will serve as a fixative.
Cutting instrument or your child can rip the paper etc if scissors aren't available.
Google Henri Matisse
Tell the students that when he was bedridden and couldn't paint, he created art by cutting out shapes with bright sheets of paper.
Show your child some examples and then let them create their own Matisse! Please send me a photo of their creation if you are able! 
PE
Take turns calling out an animal and the child has to walk like that animal across the room and back. Our classroom favourite is to walk like a Komodo Dragon. Lots of fun!
Stay healthy and virtual hugs to all of my students!
