NOS HISTOIRES DE CHAPERONS EN RESEAU





Week 37 : May 18 - 22




Dear parents and students

This week has been very busy with International Fair : finalizing the Arts projects, setting the classroom...




Our main focus in reading has been about "Little Red Riding Hood". We listened and read different versions of this fairy tail.

Our favorite story was "Chapeau rond rouge" from the author Geoffroy de Pennart.




The reading challenge is closed, the students will get their diploma on Tuesday, May 26th.
In conjugation, we have been working on conjugating the verbs  “être” and “avoir” (to be and to have) in  present perfect simple tense (passé composé).

In Mathematics, we have been reviewing about the relationship between kilometers and meters, as well as the different operations learned this year.

It's almost the end of the school year...

Dear parents,
                This week was a shorter week for English due to parent-teacher conferences.  The students practiced their speaking and listening skills by sharing their fractured fairy tales.  I was so impressed by the enthusiasm and creativity for this assignment.  Some students wrote a second fractured fairy tale on Little Red Riding Hood to share at the International Festival. During Easy Grammar, the students worked on exercises reviewing nouns, verbs and prepositions.  In Science, the students worked together in groups to invent something new out of a paper bag.  Afterwards, they presented their new invention to their classmates.
Thank you so much for your support this year and I hope you have a wonderful summer!
Sincerely,

Miss Miller

Dear parents,
This week, the students finished writing their original fractured fairy tales.  The students created “Wanted” Big Bad Wolf posters for the International Fair and reviewed character traits.  During Easy Grammar, the students learned about possessive nouns and reviewed plural, abstract and concrete nouns, proper and common nouns, and prepositions.  In Wordly Wise, the students worked on exercises practicing with the vocabulary in Unit 11.  For science, the students participated in a partner relay using straws to move water by controlling the air flow.  The students also created straw musical instruments and learned how the vibrations from the air flow make sound.
Thank you for your support and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,

Miss Miller
