Puppets, Singing and Dancing!

This week in Language we looked at the "ch" sound in " La famille de Rachel". We have started new cycles in the reading and writing centres with some new games. In reading, they are working on comprehension by matching pictures to sentences. In writing, the are looking at parts of sentences (nouns, verbs, and adverbs), and punctuation at the end of sentences. 







In Math, the students continued to look at organizing data. Some of the new games in the centres are on greater than/less than/equal, ordering numbers in quantity, and odd/even numbers. 






In Science, we have started a unit on structures and stability. We had a class discussion on what a structure is - something that can bear a load. We also discussed the two types of structures, those found in nature and those that are man-made. 


In Social Studies, the students have been working on their rural maps. Most are close to being finished. 



In Drama, the students presented their conflict resolution skits with puppets. In Music, we got together with Mme Lavoie's class (with Mme Judd) to learn and practise a song that they will sing and dance to during the Holiday Concert. Mme Judd and I will be putting the classes together during Music and Phys. Ed. to practise over the next couple of weeks. In Dance, we learned a "Bollywood" type Zumba dance " Indian Moonlight", reviewed "Uptown Funk" from last year, and learned the moves to "Follow the Leader". It's been a very busy week. 


Have a great weekend!
