Happy Monday

Hi Folks,
I hope that you all had a great week end!
This week in class we are working on the sounds (ph-f) and (th-t) the students are also working on practising there french sentence structure. This weeks sentences are As- tu fait ____? (Did you do your ___?) and Je dois ____. ( I have to do _____.) We are continuing to look at modes of transportation. We did receive two post cards so far. One from Belgium and the other from Jamaica. It was great both cards had a ton of interesting facts on it. We also looked at where both places are on the map and how we might get there.
In health we continue to try different fruits and vegetables. The students so far seem to be really enjoying themselves. I brought in avocado, papaya and peperocinni pickled peppers. To my surprise the students loved all of them, especially the hot peppers. We are also taking a closer look at where these fruits and vegetables grown, whether its on a plant, in the ground or on a tree and whether it is considered a fruit or vegetable.
In social studies this week we are learning about the different festivals and games between all three cultures.
Math we continue to work on addition of double digit numbers. We are having some trouble with this in class so feel free to go over it with your child at home.
In music we will be taking a closer look at the different instruments in various families and in art we will continue to work on our portraits. This time focusing on our side profile.
We have started a new science unit of hot and cold. The students will learn how to use a thermometer and the reasons why we use them.
In English we continue to read Matilda. I am hoping to finish up this week. They are also learning about adjectives, verbs and adverbs.
Don't forget to sign up for parent teacher interviews which are being held this week. I look forward to speaking with you. That's all for now. Take care enjoy your week.
