This week, we have been working on the f sound in "La fourmi" and "Le phoque". We read the poem "Les crayons de couleurs" as our shared reading. We finished "The Kissing Hand" series with the book "Courage, Antonin!" And completed a character study on Antonin together. We had some other great read alouds too. As you can see in the following pictures. In writing, we worked on "Une invitation" and "Qui, quoi, quand" which was about writing complete sentences. We did a great interactive phonics activity where the students mixed up animal heads and bodies on the SMARTBOARD and then had to read the name of the new creature they created.
In math, we focused on taking a number and showing it with base 10 blocks in several different ways. For example, 26 can be shown as 2 tens and 6 ones, 1 ten and 16 ones, or as 26 ones. We have also been working on skip counting forward and back by 1, 2, 5, and 10, beginning at different starting points. This week we began having a daily number on the SMARTBOARD and doing several different activities with it. (Write it, number before/after, tallies, and base 10)
We've taken lots of brain breaks and DPA breaks this week, using the website "gonoodle.com". It has many great activities and will track the class activity time and level. It's been a bit chatty this week so we will be trying a new seating arrangement over the next little while. We did some great artwork to follow up our book series on Antonin. Our Antonin portraits are now on display in the hall outside the class. I loved seeing all the green and gold for today's spirit day.
The October newsletter will be posted to the blog later this weekend.
Have a great weekend!
