Welcome back :) A reminder that report cards will be sent home next week.French - This week we will be wrapping up our theme on animals and moving on to discuss families. Last week, students were taught how to use our class set of French dictionaries in order to assist them in their very first piece of writing.  We are going through the writing steps process as we progress with our vocabulary and terminology. It is very exciting to see the progress your child has made. Their first piece of writing was all about a “weird” animal they had to create and describe.We will also commence Show and Tell “Montre et Raconte” in class this week in order to develop student’s vocabulary, fluidity, comprehension and listening skills. I will demonstrate on Monday and students (alphabetical order) and commence on Tuesday. Montre et Raconte is always a big hit with students, and I look forward to seeing the many surprises students bring to class. Please note that animals/pets are not allowed. Students may bring a picture on their pet if they choose. Math - This week we will be moving on to tackle mental math strategies up to 2 digits, along with addition and subtraction of 3 digits numbers where the final answer can be as high as 1000. As always, we continue to practice numbers orally up to 100. Students have caught on quickly and are all doing well.  We continue to practice every day during our morning routine and math classes. Reminders:Reading is to occur nightly.
