Dear families,
In Language Arts (French studies) this week, we are reading the story "Les trois petits cochons" (The 3 Little Pigs). We will be practicing our oral language skills by reading and re-telling this story in a variety of ways, for example, using drama, pictures and puppets. Our letter this week is H and h, which is a silent in French. In writing, we have started writing in our journals. Today we wrote "C'est ma famille." (This is my family.), and students drew their family members, some are even labelled! In reading, the Listening Center is now open and students are following French stories along, word by word, or listening to songs. If anyone has any beginner French books or music accompanied by a CD, please let me know if you are able to lend it. The more variety, the better!
In math we are reviewing our numbers 1-30 and counting down using a rocket ship take off :10-9-8...take off! During our calendar we are learning to identify numbers that come before an after today. For example, if today is the 13th, what was yesterday and what will tomorrow be?
This week we are starting our 5 senses unit by creating 5 large art collages of things we can smell, see, touch, hear and taste. We will integrate French, Science, Math, Art, Physical Expression and Technology to engage our 5 senses and make our learning fun!
Have a wonderful week, Mme Elise
