Welcome back folks! With only 3 more weeks of
school left until vacation, I would like to remind students to continue reading
nightly and also record their books in their reading logs. I have extra copies
in class once their first sheet is complete.Students will be learning many new seasonal
words to add to their expanding repertoire. We will be incorporating various
words into our writing pieces and songs.Montre et Raconte has been a great success thus
far. This activity provides an authentic situation for students to describe,
practice, and speak in French. We will continue this activity throughout the
year. French - We will be continuing our Family theme this week. Students
will continue to add to their journals as we progress.Math - We continue to
practice our numbers orally up to 1000 and mental math strategies (i.e. doubles
+/- 1, 2 etc, making 10, estimation, rounding). Our “Tour du Monde” mental math
activity has been a success with students in class and they really enjoy
learning their +/- facts.I have provided a link on my page from “Learn Alberta” to assist
student with various math activities. I would suggest taking a look at the
addition and subtraction tabs from the main menu for this week if students
choose to partake. I realize students/parents will not understand all the
language on the site, but the math fundamentals are still the same J Estimation and subtraction of 2 and 3 digit numbers will be our
focus this week. Incomplete review sheets will be sent home. If you
would like extra examples for practice, please send me a note :) There
will be a mini quiz on FridayReminders:- Reading
