Easter Time

Although it's been a short week, we've done lots of work. Our shared reading was the poem "Une graine qui voyageait". The students reviewed the "gn" and "ph" sounds in "Charlemagne" and "Le téléphone". I read some books on exclusion and kindness as read alouds. We finished up our reading centres cycle earlier this week and I began doing GB+ reading assessments with the class again yesterday and today to see our progress since the end of January. I'm just over halfway through and hope to finish up on Tuesday. 






We will be starting a unit on money in Math next week. The students will be required to count and make money amounts to $1.00, add/subtract money amounts to $1.00, and make change for purchases that cost up to a dollar. They will continue to practise 2-digit addition and subtraction in their homework. 

In Social Studies, the students learned why Poisson d'avril (April Fool's Day) is celebrated. I enjoyed playing a few April Fool's jokes on Wednesday. Our schedule was full, they started the day at the very bottom of our behaviour chart, and some were a little surprised when I gave them some very difficult grade 4 math problems! We also learned about the celebration of Easter.









I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend with family!
