Dear families,
This week students are continuing to develop their French language skills in a variety of ways. In collaboration with Mme Koski and Mme Stewart, we will be introducing storytelling and re-telling by presenting a puppet show of the familiar story "Les trois petits cochons" (The Three Little Pigs). The purpose is to explicitly teach the key elements of a story (setting, characters, problem, solution). Our goal is to provide students with tools they need to read, create and re-tell meaningful stories.
Our letter this week is I and i. We are continuing to write and draw in our journals. Today we wrote and drew our favourite sense out of the five we posses: smell, taste, sight, touch and sound. We will now explore each sense in more detail. At the end of our 5 senses unit, we will look back to see if our favourite sense is still the same... or has it changed?!
In math, we are practicing writing our numbers from 1-5 with a special three sided, grip pencil. In social studies, I will be reviewing proper hand-washing technique and talking about personal grooming and cleanliness. We will have a special presentation next Monday, January 27th by Dental Hygiene specialists from Camosun college. Also, this Thursday, January 23rd, we have another special presentation about the importance of cultural awareness. By the way, there will be no school this Friday, January 24th.
Have a wonderful week everyone, Elise
