The focus over the last week has been on empowering students. They are readers, writers and mathematicians. They are kind, helpful and creative. What a joy to see their abilities and talents!
Our 2 class rules are:
- Sois gentil. Be nice.
- Aide les autres. Help others.
We have been reading books about kindness as well as books for fun!
What else have we been doing?
Children practice printing words they find with the sound é using mini whiteboards and visual dictionaries.
- French
- Our focus is the sound é as in bébé – makes the long a sound as in cake
- Journal writing
- Show and Tell- asking questions, sharing comments in French
- Reading and writing colours- review from gr.1 to build confidence!
- Building sight words that students can read without sounding out, such as colours, and building phonetic knowledge, such as the sound é, together support children’s reading skills.
- Math
- Using ten frames to add to ten
- Finding many solutions to an open-ended problem
- Focusing on ways to make 10
- 10 is our MAGIC number! Making ten supports our mental math skills.
- Social Studies
- We have started learning about Canada
- Visual Arts
- The book Joyeux reveur inspired painting, colouring, cutting and gluing our own scenes of children flying through the sky.
Children are building their stamina. A good night’s sleep and breakfast go a long way to support learning:)
