Short week

HI everyone,
We have another short week this week. No school on Friday due to parent teacher interviews. This term interviews are student lead. Which means your child will take you around to different centers and show you what they have learned or are in the process of learning now. During your time slot you will be with 4 other students and parents. Please be mindful of everyone in the room. Don't forget to sign up for a time slot. Student leads are Thursday and Friday.

The book fair will be taking place during interviews. Students will have a chance to preview it Wednesday during their library time. I believe it will be in the learning commons this time. So before or after be sure to head on up and take a peek.

This week at school, the students will have to opportunities to view two very different plays. Tuesday, unitheatre will present a French play on protecting the environment and on Thursday David Bouchard will be here to speak about his life. Here is the link if you wanted more information on the performance. 

In Math, we continue to learn about measurement, this week we are focusing on distance and volume. We have also started to count to 100 in French and will be working on skip counting by 2, 5 and 10. It would be great if you could help your child with this at home.

Science, we are into building things. We will talk about what makes structures stable, how do they stay together. We will also be presenting our leprechaun traps over the next 2 weeks. They look amazing by the way! Thank you for supporting this fun project.

Social studies, we continue on comparing urban and rural settings. We will finish up soon and start to look at our beautiful country of Canada, the provinces and territories its made up of and cardinal direction (North, South, East, West)

English, students are learning more about word families and blends. We have started to talk more about rhyming words as well as different parts of a story. (beginning, middle and end) To help improve your child's reading comprehension you can beginning to ask who, what, when, where, why and how. 

In French, we have started learning about transportation. We have also started to receive our class post cards which is exciting. Please keep them coming. I have been really focusing on French sounds, syllables and breaking words apart.
I have showed the class how to access the games on my blog, if you wanted to book mark it, it maybe helpful and save you time getting it up for them. I have also attached the links to Je lis and lalilo.

Have a great week.
