Welcome to the last week of school before summer break!

La musique

Music Lesson with Mr. Hogeveen.

Hello friends.  This week I read you a story “So-me finds Dough”.  Then I introduce you to a favourite song “I’ve Got Canada in my Pocket”.

I had some technology challenges and the lyrics didn’t show up on the video at 7:14.  The next video shows up again at 12:10.  Here is a link that includes the lyrics.

Here is the link to the fun video version of “I’ve Got Canada…”

If you want to play the Melody Matching game we did last week, go to this site.

Once there, open “Match the Melody”, click “next” and then choose level 3.  Once that is open you can choose 3a, 3b, or 3c.  Feel free to browse the Music Play site for all the activities available.

Classics For Kids also has fun music activities you can explore.  Find them here.

Have an awesome summer.  I will look forward to seeing you again in September!

Final words

I am proud of you all for learning so much in grade two. You are incredible readers, writers, artists, scientists, mathematicians and kind friends. I know you will enjoy all the new adventures that grade 3 will bring! Bravo, mes amis!

If you have coins at home, can you count them to find out how much money is in a group of coins? Use or imagine a 100 chart to help you. For example example: 25 cents + 10 cents + 5 cents = 40 cents. Start at 25, add 10, then add 5 more. Or, you might like to start with 25, add 5, then add 10 more.

Mercredi

L’eau

Do you have a favourite wild animal that lives in water? If not, is there a wild animal that you like that needs water? Today we will begin to write a BOOK in French about an animal that you choose!

(If you prefer, you can write a journal entry over several days).

Today, choose your animal. Find out how to spell the animal name in French AND find out if the name is masculine (le/un) or feminine (la/une). Linguee.com is a good on-line dictionary that can help.

Your animal’s name is your title. Write your title in fancy letters on the cover of your book. Then draw and colour a picture for your book cover. Don’t forget to write your name as the author!

For example: Le requin écrit par Mme Harmatuk

Next week, we will write sentences in our book about your animal. If you would like to do any research, you can.

Watch this video using tens, dizaines, and ones, unités, to help us subtract.

Then do p.247 in your Cahier rouge.
