Chèrs familles,
Today, students had a special presentation on Dental Hygiene, provided by Dental Hygiene students from the Camosun College Dental Clinic. The presenters emphasized the importance of brushing for a minimum of twice per day, for at lease 2 minutes at a time. Each student was able to practice circular brushing strokes with a giant toothbrush and teeth! They were given a toothbrush as a take home gift. Key vocabulary for this lesson is "les dents" (teeth), "une brosse à dents" (toothbrush), "la bouche" (mouth).
Our letter this week is J and j. We will sing it, write it and look for it in our morning messages. For example: Bon_our! L' étoile du _our c'est _____ (Hello, the star today is__students name___). In language arts, we will continue to build on storytelling by sequencing and colouring illustrations of our story "The 3 Little Pigs". In science, our sense this week is 'Touch'. Students will be given a set of different fabrics and objects with varying textures. Matching fabric textures will be added to our Science station for further exploration. We are also continuing our science experiments where we predict, collect materials, follow instructions, observe and reflect on what we see. In math, we are practicing our pencil grip and writing our numbers 1-5. In social studies, I read a book today "10 Things I can do to help my world". I brought my bicycle in to prompt a discussion about ways we can help the environment. Tomorrow, there will be a special presentation by BC Lions Energy Champions. This is a program that emphasizes the important of environmental responsibility.
We will end the week by celebrating Chinese New Year and making lanterns. We are also visiting our big buddies for a reading activity and building snowmen with cotton balls and recycled buttons.
Gung Hay Fat Choy! Mme Elise
