Today we began an exciting Written and Oral Language project. We are making a digital classroom book using an ipad and animal puppets. Students have chosen their favorite animal and each have their own page within the book. Each page will have their photo and a recording of their voice saying: Bonjour. Je suis un ______. J'aime_______ (Hello. I am a ______. I like to _______.) This is just one of the many displays your child will be sharing with you at next week's Student Led Conferences on the afternoon of Wednesday April 23rd.
On Thursday we are walking to Parkwood Court to visit and share a friendship salad (fruit salad) with our local Elders. Please send one fruit of your choice to school with your child on Thursday for this fruit salad offering (eg. grapes, apple, orange, banana, ect).
In Language Arts our letter this week is S and s. We are also learning high frequency words and adding them to our word wall. For example, last week we learned the word Je/je (I) This week we are learning Il/il (he) and Elle/elle (she). In Math we are continuing to talk about numbers that come before and after other numbers, as well as comparing and measuring various objects in the class. In Science this week we will be sewing seeds and will begin talking about the life and parts of a plant. In Art we have been creating some beautiful egg shell patterns and last week we built a small paper basket to take home this weekend.
I will be sending home your confirmed Student Led Conference visiting time this Wednesday. Please contact me by email or phone if you are unable to attend and/or need to request a change. By the way, this is a 4-day week with no school this coming Friday, April 18th and Monday, April 21st .
Have a wonderful long weekend and see you back here on Tuesday, April 22nd!
