Dear Parents,


The purpose of my Blog is to let parents know what we have been working on. As you know we had a PJ party on Thursday. In French, the students had to tell the class what color the stuffy was, and whether it was big or small. Suprisingly, we actually covered a lot of French words on PJ day.

Next Week the students are to bring a show and tell item to school which they will describe to the class in French. The students are asked not to play with the toys in the class and bring them only for the show and tell.

In class, we talked about tattling, personl space and blurting out. We continue to read the book" My Mouth is a Volcano" to encourage students to raise their hand. Another great book is " Personal Space Camp". This book encourages students to keep their hands to themselves.

We have also talked about Quiet turtles, whispering whales and chatty chickens. Chatty chickens are almost never allowed in the school only whispering whales and quiet turtles. Sometimes the students are given little stuffy turtles if they are listening well. However, one went missing, maybe someone accidentally brought it home. If you see a litte turtle in your home, pleae return it. Thanks :} :}

In French, we are working on sounding out letters. We have started with the vowels a e i o u. In our program, all our sounds come with pictures to help students remember the sounds. Most students are catching on well. Most still have trouble with the u.

We continue working on vocabulary for school and colors. Please visit the following site if you would like to get more information on what we will be learning this coming week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2JwURExB9A&t=305sWe are learning sight words in French. If you would like to review sight words please visit the following sight on Youtube.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wrfdDf4GAM&t=34s  The title is grade 1 sight words in French with pronunciation.

In Science, the students participated in a color experiment. They mixed yellow water with food coloring and red water with food coloring. Of course, they discovered it made orange.

In English, we are working on sight words such as do, play, I am, me etc... We play smartboard games to learn these words. We will soon begin learning English letter sounds.

In Math, we are still working on patterns, learning numbers, and subsitizing. (looking at dots or ten frames and saying the number) The students could continue practicing this
