In French, we have just started to review parts of the house and the house hold items that you can find in those rooms. We will continue to work on this for the next couple of weeks. We will also be learning about syllables and how to separate words into syllables.
In Health, we will be wrapping up our feelings and moving onto the five different food groups. Students will have the chance to take a closer look at the Canadian food guide.
In social studies, students will learn about the differences between urban and rural communities once we finish up our environment.
In math, we are finishing up the shapes unit and will move onto measurement. Students really enjoyed the shapes unit and this week will be reviewing what they learned. Please continue to practice counting with your child 1-100. They would also benefit from counting backwards 20-1 seeing that some still struggle with this concept.
In English, students will be learning about the many different word families. We are also going to start writing more simple sentences focusing on proper punctuation and capitalization. We do need to finish up explode the code and so I might include it in your Child's reading package so that we may move on.
Calling all musicians.....do we have any talented parents who would like to come in and show the students your skills. I would love to introduce them to different instruments seeing that they are loving using the xylophones.
The 100 day of school is coming up soon. We will celebrate the day by doing activities throughout the day. If you wish to come help and lead an activity please feel free to do so. I am also wondering if you are all willing to help your child create a fun t-shirt with 100 things glued onto it that they can wear the day of to celebrate. You can glue pompons, buttons, bottle caps, macaroni or just about anything.
Here is some ideas from pinterest if you are up for the challenge of leading an activity or want to contribute to the day.

For the month of March the students will be learning about modes of transportation. I have done this class project for the last 3 years and the students loved it! I do need all of your help to make this a success though. I am asking that you send out emails, facebook messages, letters and so on to have your friends from around the world whether they be far or near to send our class postcards from wherever they live or are visiting. They can include on the post card some interesting facts about the place they are from or are visiting, the food they eat there, the language they speak, population and so on. They may send these post cards addressed to our class. Once we get the post cards rolling in we as a class read the messages talk about the details that are added, find it on the map and talk about how could we get there. Could we fly, walk, take a train and so on.
Also I know most of you will be going on some adventures over the March break. If you are willing to take a class puppet along with you that would be fantastic. All that is required that one it speaks in French lol and that you take a picture of you all and the puppet along the way. I brought my class puppet to Italy and England one year. He also travelled to Africa with some of my friends. The students loved seeing their puppet. Let me know if you are interested.
