March

Bonjour!

We're jumping into a busy month of March with parent teacher interviews and our transportation theme before March Break.

I will be sending home the schedule for Parent-Teacher this week. Hopefully the times will work out for everybody.


We will be starting a theme on transportation next week. This will touch on different vocabulary, different modes of transport and to finish off the week prior to March Break the kids will all build their own type of transportation using recyclables. They will write and describe what they built and present it to the class.

If I could please ask you in the next weeks to come to bring to school any sorts of recyclables you may have and then "construction day" will be in class during March 15th.


Have a great week,
M. Angelini

100th day!

Bonjour,

As you know, we will be celebrating the 100th day of school this Tuesday, February 23rd. Everyone will bring in their project and talk about how it represents 100 to them. The class seems excited about this!

Following the 100th day, there will be greater expectations towards French speaking in the classroom, both with me and with classmates. As most kids are already speaking lots of French with me, it is equally important that this is done among classmates as well during centers, snack and lunch (those times of independent work).


We continue to work on addition and subtraction facts and are currently focused on subtraction facts to 10. It is important that facts to 10 are acquired in both written and oral form before moving along.


Have a great Sunday,
Dominick

100th Day!

As many of you may hear this evening, we will be having a celebration in our class soon. We will be celebrating the 100th day of school. The students are excited for the celebration and gave lots of ideas on what they would like to do for the "party".

 

I am asking students to create a 100th day of school project to present to the class. This project is to be done on their own time outside of school. I discussed it with the students today and talked to them about all kinds of examples. If you google : 100th day of school projects you will see all sorts of ideas. Ex: lego creations made out of 100 legos, a necklace made out of 100 beads, it was even suggested today, an igloo with 100 pieces... The goal is that the student can count to 100 using whatever objects they choose to make their project. Each student will present their project to the class and other students as well. If the object cannot be taken to school, bring photos!

Bonjour all,

I will be sending home a math sheet which can be done each night of the week. For example, lundi can be done tonight, mardi, tomorrow, etc.

There are only 4 questions per night and they touch on what we are currently doing in math or what we have already done.  This will give them a little boost in math but won't overwhelm them!

Currently we are working on addition to the sum of 12 and soon to begin working on subtraction in more detail.


You can keep this sheet at home, or send it back each day in their sac de livres.



Have a great week!

Bonjour,

I wanted to show you this activity a colleague shared with me. It's a great little opportunity to speak French outside of the classroom in a different setting!
