This week in Language, we read "Pour dessiner un bonhomme" for our shared reading. The students reviewed the "in" sound in "Le lutin" and the "ch" sound in "Poustoche". In our reading centres, one of the new games is on inferencing. They are also still practising reading words and putting them in alphabetical order. The students also did a dramatic reading in front of the class of their favourite comptine of the year. We will need to practise presentation skills a bit more as speaking loudly enough for all to hear and making eye contact with the audience was a bit challenging for some.
The students have really been enjoying playing "Prodigy" at the computer centre in Math. This week, with all the indoor recesses, many chose to take turns playing that. It's great that they are enjoying math so much. Another math centre is an addition compliments game to 100 (ex. 60 + ___ = 100). We spent quite a bit of time on 2-digit subtraction with regrouping, using base 10 blocks and written algorithms. We will continue to practise this over the next little while.
We've pretty much finished learning about Russia except for a small craft we will be completing on Monday. Thursday was Chinese New Year. We read a fiction book and non-fiction book about the holiday and then completed some follow-up activities. We had a great discussion on why houses needed to be cleaned before the holiday, why red is important, and some of the traditions they have on their New Year's Eve and Day. Next week, we will be learning more about China, perfect timing after this week's lesson!
This week in Visual Arts, we used a variety of material to create a mixed media artwork. They are now up in the hall along with the Math Shape Art. Take a look the next time you are in the school!
