This week in Languuage, we read "Le rêve de Bananè" for our shared reading. We looked at the "è" sound and all of its spellings. The class had some challenging new words in this week's words and sentences. We started a new cycle of reading and writing centres. In Reading, they are reviewing rhyming words. In Writing, they are looking at the difference between nouns, verbs, and "déterminants" (le, la, un, une...) The students are working on posters which also ties in nicely to media.
In Math, the students completed surveys and are graphing the information. In their math games, they practised odd/even numbers, ordering numbers, and greater than/less than.
In Science, we looked at what a stable and non-stable structure would be. We discussed that animals are not structures so we need to go back next week and look at that a bit more and make some corrections to this week's work. We also spent some time looking at the difference between solid and stable.
In Social Studies, we continued to practise mapping. This week the students were making maps of small locations of their choice. (A room, the class, backyard...)
In Phys. Ed. the students continued to build their endurance in running. As we started a new month, we added another lap. We are now up to 6 laps from 3 in September. To help them (and me) keep track, they start with 6 Popsicle sticks and hand one in at the completion of each lap. In addition to the cooperative games we played, we've been practising our song and flag dance for the Holiday Concert. Mme Judd has been working with the students on the dance while I've been working with the students who just want to sing.
Friday was a very busy day. We had both a bus presentation and the Jingle Bell Walk. We also had a Book Fair at school this week. We did not exchange library books as the library was closed all week for the Book Fair.
Thank you to all of the families who sent in non-perishable goods for those less fortunate this holiday season.
