This week we concentrated on the sound S. We also practiced writing Ss in cursive. Guided reading took place in class, and their new books have been well rehearsed for next week. Our old 'mots courants" i.e. je suis, moi, toi, etc have now been placed on our word wall, and new ones added to our board. They can be reviewed on the bottom of the S sheet found in their book bags. Our writing activity for the week focused on what our dream school would look like...'Mon école de rêve."
In math we moved on to learn how to compare and order numbers up to 1,000. They all have a solid foundation from previous years. Our task as a class is to now take that knowledge and translate it in French. They are however, quickly picking up on the appropriate terms we have been discussing, and am impressed to say the least :) We also played some math games from the Learn Alberta site to reinforce concepts. Please refer to the site at home if you have a chance (the link is located on my page).
On Tuesday, students from Croft came to visit. They delivered a message concerning Miramichi's food bank, and how students at Gretna Green can become involved in order to aid the food bank during their outing on Halloween night. Refer to GG's website for more details.
Thursday, we exchanged our books in the library. They were all glad to see the librarian back this week.
Tomorrow, students will continue to discuss their bucket list items and "fillers" in guidance. We will also review material from the previous 4 days. To cap everything off, we will read to our 'buddies" in Kindergarden.
As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and/or concerns. ***Note*** Halloween Dinner tickets will be placed in their reading bags tomorrow morning. The return date for the tickets is Friday, October 26.
Cheers,
