Field Trip
We had an excellent field trip to Dorris Ranch. Many thanks to Rachel’s dad, Gregg, Lillian’s mom, Claire, Emelia’s mom, Andrea, and Tanner’s mom, Chelsea, for chaperoning. We couldn’t do it without you. Please click here to see photos of the fun & learning.
Field Day Volunteers Needed:
Field Day is coming up, the last day of school, June 14! Mme ErinMarie is requesting volunteers to help with set up, to run games at stations, and to clean up. If you have time to lend a helping hand please sign up here.
What’s up! Quoi de neuf?
Please send your child to school in proper footwear and a water-repellent jacket with a hood or a hat when the weather is rainy. Please have your child wear layers as needed and weather-appropriate shoes. Thank you!
If your child is ill or has had a fever or vomited within the previous 24 hours, please keep your child home. If your child will be absent, please email both teachers and please call in and leave a message on the school attendance line (541) 790-7080 or email Eliza at drummond_e@4j.lane.edu.

This past week we worked on our final French evaluations; we did listening on Monday, writing on Tuesday and we did speaking on Thursday. This week, we will be doing Oral Reading Fluency on Tuesday and comprehension on Thursday. If you know that your child will be missing any of these days, please try to let me know ahead of time. Thank you so much to the parents who have already done so. Merci!
This past week’s quiz, our last French vocabulary quiz, the kids crushed it. The average score was 100%.
Student goal: I am applying myself to my school work. I am actively seeking learning.
Student goal: I can identify grammatical and punctuation errors in sentences in French.
Student goal: I can form and connect all the lowercase and uppercase letters correctly in cursive.
Student goal: I can apply learned French grammar rules during daily speaking and writing.
Les sciences humaines (la géographie):
Presentations continue! Thus far, 25 students have presented, and xx other dodecahedrons are ready to be presented, with most students finishing up. When a student has completed his/her/their presentation, I hang the completed dodecahedron in the classroom (See below).
Students who have not yet completed their projects had it sent home with them this weekend. Please give your child the time and space to work on it. It has only come home because they are having a hard time completing work at school. They need to either finish the research and/or pencil in their sides, but they may NOT COLOR or Sharpie-in their written words. We are nearly out of classroom work time. Thank you to the parents who made sure the students who needed to catch up did so.
A member of our community who was raised in Burkina Faso visited this past Tuesday, and she shared a bit about her country.
Student goal: I begin to see my role in this world as a global citizen and to understand that my reality is not the same as other children’s in the world.
Student goal: I can identify many French-speaking (francophone) countries of the world.
Les sciences:
Well, this is a bit of a slow-working group, so we’re not getting to sciences. So many kids are still finishing up their francophone country project. As soon as we can, we will still get at least through electric circuits.
Les copains/Buddies:
No buddies this past week or this coming week because we had a field trip last week, and first grade has a field trip on Wednesday of this week. Our last buddy day will be June 5.
Mme Hannah is taking the lead in English and Math Class for the next two weeks. Mme Shelli will still be here to guide and advise.

Math Key concepts:
There is no more MATH HOMEWORK this year.
English & Social Studies
We wrap up our student of Oregon history this week! Students will learn about how Oregon was divided into counties, how the government works, and how will take a VIRTUAL Guided FIELD TRIP to the Oregon State Capitol (Wednesday). As we finish our study, students are creating a game board of Oregon history trivia. They’ll get a chance to play the game with friends. Their final homework assignment (coming home June 3rd) will be to share their Oregon History game with you.
State & District Testing
Almost all Students have finished state testing. Your students’ results will be available in the fall at parent conferences. Next week, we’ll wrap up district EasyCBM testing, our three times per year progress monitoring check.
Host Families needed for next year’s interns!
Calling on Host Families for 2024-2025!
Bonjour Charlemagne families,
We are getting ready to host more interns next year…
Our Amity interns are a huge part of our school. Thanks to them, teachers in grades 2-5 can differentiate their instruction and students can experience more French speaking. We could not do this program without host families who agree to host them for 2-3 months.
The requirements to host are:
– Transport the intern to and from school,
– Offer her/his own room,
– Offer 3 meals a day
The host families don’t have to be part of our Charlemagne community.
So, tell friends, neighbors, family members!
If you have an interest in hosting, please reach out to our host family coordinator, Rachel Buciarski (Maya’s mom) at rachel@buciarski.com.
Merci beaucoup! Aurelie Sion (she/her), 2ème année
