In Lang. Arts, we continue to work on our Health unit and have begun discussing how to take care of ourselves by eating well, being clean, exercising and resting. We will also learn Valentine Vocabulary. These new words will help the students during oral, writing and reading activities! We will also be working on procedural writing. We will follow a recipe on Valentine's day and make something yummy to eat! Next week, students will independently write a procedural text by writing their own tasty recipe! In Math, we continue to use mental math strategies: doubles, doubles + 1, making 10 and adding 10s. We are also learning to use different estimating strategies to add two digit numbers.   

In French Language Arts, we have commenced a health unit. We are looking at the different food groups and what types of food go in each group. We are talking about balanced meals and students will draw a balanced meal and present it to the class. In Math, we keep reviewing our numbers from 0-1000. This week students have reviewed basic math facts and some mental math strategies (doubles, near doubles, making ten). We continue to work on word problems and addition /subtraction with 2 and 3 digit numbers.
