This week, the grade twos looked at the "ace/asse" sound in "Horace" and the "isse" sound in "Mathis". The grade threes looked at soft and hard "g" in " Les galettes de Geneviève" and worked on comprehension. The focus has been on looking for answers by looking for the key words in the text and ensuring that answers are written in complete sentences. In our reading ateliers, the new game was to make sight word rings. They only had time to make them, not play with them so that will be done in the next cycle of ateliers. The new games in the writing ateliers were to figure out if the sentence was past, present or future and to figure out which part of the sentence was underlined (noun, verb, or adjective). Today we did a shared reading of the story "La petite poule rousse" on the SMARTBOARD. Then we spent some time completing cloze passages and other follow-up comprehension activities together.

Passé, présent, futur? and Nom, verbe, adjectif?
We finished up 2- and 3-digit addition and subtraction on Monday with a test. We then began a new unit on money this week. There were several new activities in our ateliers, however, the students will continue to practise adding and subtracting skills in the numeration centre and in the problem-solving centre with Mme McLaren. They played two new money games: a piggy bank game and a money bingo game.

The grade threes went to Swim to Survive this week for their first session. Despite a mix-up in times, they will still be going on the next two Thursdays, but at a later time. The students also put lots of effort into preparing acrostic poems in English and spring scenes in Art. These will be taken to a children's hospital/retirement home in Columbia over the Easter Holiday by Gabe's parents.
