French - This week's theme will be "Friends" Students
will learn to present a friend to the class. Phrases that they will learn
include: "I have a friend...his/her name is", "Do you have a
friend? What is his/her name?" "Is your friend a boy or girl?"
etc.We will continue to work with the colour theme as we progress to
learn new school and class vocabulary items. Our word wall continues to
grow and students are making great gains.Likewise, we have moved on from the vowel A in
our reading and writing activities and are now concentrating on the
vowels E, I, O, and U. These sheets will be sent home once reviewed in class.
Please take time to practice the words found on the bottom of the vowel sheets
as well. You will notice that they are the same on each sheet. These particular
words have also been added to our class word wall. Spelling for these particular words will take place in class throughout the day as we complete various tasks and assignments. We also continue to read
collectively as a group. In the coming days, books will begin to be sent home.
Your child may not recognize/retain everything as of yet, but please encourage
them read the title, look at the pictures, and continue with a sentence or page
if they get hung up on a word.Math - This week our focus will be on pronouncing numbers from
20-50 and place value (units, tens, and hundreds). Please refer to the videos I have posted on my page to aid your child. Our objective is to read, draw and represent numbers greater that 100.Reminders:- Reading bags need to be returned daily- Terry Fox walk this Friday at 10:15 following recess- School picture day Sept 25th- Scholastic orders due Sept 22th If you have any question, comments, and/or concerns please feel
