French - We will be commencing a new theme this week. We are moving on from what makes us unique to discussing our favorite activities and pass times. This theme is our 8th within the French Immersion curriculum. Students will learn to say “Je préfère, j’adore, je joue, je fais”, etc and incorporate these structures into their reading and writings as well.Likewise, we continue on a practice our “dictée” (spelling words) throughout the week as well. Each day, students have an opportunity to practice in one of 5 centers created throughout the classroom. Please ensure that students read their take home books nightly to provided them with an extra opportunity to masters their vocabulary, sounds, comprehension, and fluidity. *** 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 – As for this week, we will be using our time to review/go over concepts thought to date in our Patterns unit. Test on Wednesday.Feel free to contact me via e-mail and/or agenda if you would like additional material for your son/daughter to practice at home.Social Studies – This week we will read a book entitled “Je fais le plan de ma class” and review the map students completed last week.
