This week in French Language Arts, students are writing a story about an adventure in the Canadian Arctic. Students are learning to apply their paragraph knowledge and Winter vocabulary to this short story. Students are also writing English paragraphs about themselves using the PowerPoint program. We are also practicing our dictée once using mini-chalkboards. Students are encouraged to practice their dictée several times at home throughout the week. Our phonetic sound this week is "on". When doing home reading, ask your child to point our the different ways this sound can be written in their books. This helps solidify French oral and written language because so many of the letters are silent. NOTE: the dictée this week is on Friday morning.
In Math, as we are nearing the end of term 2, students are continuing to review multiplication and division up to 10, time and money. Measurement is coming up next. An introduction to measurement in centimeters and meters will begin tomorrow when students build their Science towers. For Social Studies this week we have our full day field trip to the museum on Thursday. In the morning we have a tour of the First Nations exhibit. In the afternoon we'll be visiting the 21st Century Hall where many local Old Towne artifacts are to be explored from the last 100 years.
In PE today we did our last hockey practice. We are now doing yoga and dance. This Friday we will have a special dance workshop in the gym.
A few reminders for Friday: it is pink and red day and please remember to return library books, even for renewal. Thank you!
Have a wonderful week, Mme Garcin
