French - We continue to discuss and write about what makes us unique. Students really enjoy this particular theme.Also, we will undertake a writing activity about Valentine’s Day. Students will be introduced to new terminology and continue to utilize high frequency and word wall words, as well as French dictionaries. 6+1 writing trait mini lessons are also incorporated into our routine prior to any writing activity. This week we will be focusing on “organization” and “word choice” as part of our mini lessons.Guided reading/Daily 5 continues as usual. Students have made great personal gains and continue learn how to incorporate new skills such as prediction, visualization, etc. while reading. While at home if your child is unsure of a word, feel free to write it down on a sticky note and/or write it down in their agenda and we will practice the word(s) and add them to our word wall. As well, please ensure your child records the book(s) they have read each night in the reading log sheet. I have extra copies once their log becomes full.Math - We continue with our 4th unit. This week we will be studying the calendar and seasons as a measure of time. Word problems will also be studied and dissected in order to find key words/phrases. Activity sheets will be sent home as need be. Please notify me and I will send supplementary work in their reading bag if you would like extra practice for your son or daughter. This unit typically is more hands on and students really enjoy the various activities.Social Studies - We continue to learn about the province of NB.
