October 15-19

This week in class we will be learning the sound "S" en français. We will also continue to rehearse new guided reading books (level A) in preparation for next week's readings. We will also be discussing what we like and do not like as a theme (ce que j'aime et ce que je ne aime pas") at school. The theme compliments preferences and needs, and will focus on an animal of their choice as both discussion and writing topics. A head's up to parents, in November we will begin show and tell in class. Details to follow near the end of the month. The goal is to have your child speak/present what they have learned thus far in a different context. Homework: Français - 1) reading each night (guided book and letter S sheet) 2) cursive writing (letter S) Math - continue to view and practice math websites on my teacher page. (Counting, representing numbers i.e. base 10, place value) Notes: - Crofts students will be visiting on Wednesday to present a project to our students at GG - Popcorn Wednesday - Library Thursday Please contact me if you have any questions. Cheers :)

Review Oct 10-12

We managed to finish everything that had been planned for this week, yeah! We learned the vowel Uu en français, continued to read new books, and practiced our fire escape plan. We also continued our unit on representing numbers up to 1,000. We began to work in our math textbooks. We learned how to use our textbook to copy questions and answer them in our binders (work in progress). We finished the week off by reading to our kindergarden friends in Mrs.Wall's class. Mid-term reports were sent home today. The class was briefed on what the mid-term report actually is, and that it is similar to their communication binders. An explanation of each category in the report was dicussed as a class. Please continue to read over the weekend and return book bags on Monday. Guided reading books (levels A&B) and a new recording sheet will commence on Monday. These are books that have been rehearsed in class and compliment the vowel sounds we have been learning. Have a great weekend!

October 10-12

A busy 3 days ahead of us en 3e année. This week is Fire Prevention Week! There will be a presentation on Wednesday morning and a fire drill at some point throughout the week. Mad Science also continues this week for those who are registered on Wednesday and Thursday. Interim Report Cards will also be handed out on Friday. As far as homework goes, everyone will again be receiving new books to read each night. Please ensure you child reads for 15 minutes, records what they have read on their sheet and returns to school the next day. We will also be learning the vowel U en francais and how to write Uu in cursive. In math, we will be continuing our unit on numbers. We will be working on ways to represent numbers up to 1000 (place value). Math homework may be sent home this week depending how much is accomplished in class due to our shortened schedule. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at school. Thank you :)

I've attached another copy of the assignment that I would like to see completed and returned to school by Friday. Any questions, please let me know. Merci beaucoup.
