Hello! Hope you enjoyed the sunshine. Soo looking forward to the change! We got out and did a hike through Green Gables. If you haven't yet, give it a whirl, short trails and you get to see the house without the tourist! The homestead trail is also good in Cavendish!
We will review feelings this week and start into our spring unit. Students will learn new spring vocabulary I will post the words to the google classroom for you to print off and go over. We will also twin spring with Easter in the coming weeks.
In French we have been really working on our sight words and French sounds. I will also attach those sounds and songs that go with the sounds to the classroom. Students are very motivated to learn their words and move up. Its great to see them succeed and so engaged in an activity. We are working also on the meaning of those words, seeing that they are great at recognizing the words but don't always remember the meaning. I will be starting guided reading in class during literacy centers. Working with small groups to develop their reading strategies and French comprehension, so this should help more. Once we read a book together I will be sending it home in their reading package to work on during the week. There is a sheet explaining what to do in the duo-tang that will be coming home. Dont worry about not know how to read the words or helping them out. As long as you sit with them and listen that is all the need, your support, your interest and encouragement. Do not make this any longer that 15 minutes and if its not working set it aside and come back to it at another time. If you have any questions feel free to ask away. Here is a link to the song we have been singing in class.

In Math, we continue to work on numbers 1-10 in French. Students are getting great at recognizing numbers in a 10 frame. We will start to look at simple addition and focus on how to use a number line. New vocabulary is apres (after), avant ( before) I have been showing them a number and asking what is after the number or before. I also point out that apres is 1 more (1 de plus) avant is 1 less (1 de moins). This is a concept they will learn more about in grade 1. We have been trying to play lots of card games and other counting games in class. Keep working on number formation and mastering those skills as we get higher counting sometimes students will reverse 12 into 21 so catching it now will help. Here is a link that I use from time to time to get ideas.

I also use this A LOT in the summer months with Winnie to keep us busy. They have some fun ideas and is simple click to print. It also has alot of different subject areas, no French though:(
