Beach Day and More

This week in language, we finished reading "L'arbre aux ballons". The class was very excited because I had just ordered a new Loup book and it arrived this week. We are now reading "Le loup qui n'aimait pas lire" for our read aloud.




We are reading the comptine "Le crocodile" as well as the poem "Trois cerises rouges" for our shared reading. There was a lot of new vocabulary to learn.



In guided reading, students are again working on comprehension and vocabulary development and we will also be looking at informational text a bit more before the end of the year.


In guided writing, the students have started writing tales. We went over the learning goal and success criteria and students began making a plan. The big difference between a narrative and a tale is the element of magic in tales.




Reading to self

Learning to type on the new Chromebooks


For physical education, we have been trying to get outside as much as possible after the rainy spring. On Tuesday, the students ran a kilometre on the track before getting some free time on the climbers.



On Wednesday, we went across the road to the park for gym. We quickly established safety procedures for using the tire swing. Some chose to play soccer. Others just wanted to run around, and use the climber.




Some even liked to hide right under the bench where Mme Jacques was sitting!


Friday was Beach Day and we collected toonies in support of the Gutsy Walk. Thank you for all of your donations to this fundraiser.


Almost all of the new technology from the grant I received has arrived. I am just missing a couple of bins but borrowed some spares that we have in the school until the others arrive. It took a few days but all of the iPads are now set up with the applications we use regularly. The Chromebooks are now organized in a bin that I set up and some students have been using them to practise typing on Typing.com. Some of the grade twos were able to try out some new science game applications.



Have a great weekend and happy Father's Day to everyone in a fatherly role!
