It was another short week, with lots crammed in! The grade twos reviewed the "euse" sound in "La berceuse" and the "bl" sound in "Blaise". The grade threes finished up the story "Truffe la chatte". Some are getting quite good at answering comprehension questions in complete sentences while others continue to need practice with this. Today we discussed the difference between level 4 (A), level 3 (B), and level 2 (C) answers. We looked at how you could get the right answer for all three levels but depending on the detail of your answer, it could be any of the three levels.
We continued with our spring poems as shared readings. These two poems will be among the 5 poems the class will present at our primary assembly on Tuesday. I read the book "Gros poulet" as a read aloud. It had some great themes about getting to know someone before making judgments, and accepting differences. I loved the images and all the different fonts used throughout the book. We followed it up by reflecting on the book. The students drew their favourite part but I also had them write a sentence explaining why they liked the book, tying in nicely with our explanation writing.
We continued to work on our money unit. I love using the SMARTBOARD and there are some wonderful lessons on Smart Exchange and they are quite easy to translate to French. Today we looked at different ways to make $1.00 (grade two expectation) and $10.00 (grade three expectation). The grade twos love getting to see the grade three work and to try to do it as well as their own, especially when we use the SMARTBOARD! The grade threes also learned how to use a multiplication table to do simple multiplication and division questions. We looked at how to do area and perimeter for a shape that has a cutout and again the grade twos loved learning this grade three concept after having started area and perimeter a few weeks ago.
