Week 32 : April 13th - 17th

Dear parents and students,


Jonas U8 and U10 champion in the national qualifying tournament






Here are the learning we've worked on this week:
Stanford tests have been conducted until Tuesday. 

French :
Spelling : We have been doing a text spelling test on Monday about the sound "gn".
Conjugation : We have been playing games by groups : Grammar Trivial Pursuit, Conjugation Domino, Conjugation Bingo and Conjugation "Jeu de l'oie"
to review the present tense. And we started to work on the future tense with verbs ending with "er".
Reading : We read the Chapter 4 and worked on Voc 27. 
We are having groups reading 3 times a week (20minutes each time) for the "Rallye-Lecture".

Math :
Mental Arithmetic : Reviews on all the time tables from 1 to 7.
Calculation : We were still working on solving a three-digits by one digit multiplication.
Measurement : We worked on which metric unit of length is appropriate : m/cm.

Math challenge : The children have been working on solving problems by teams, 2nd and 3rd grades combined.
Last year recorded participation record with nearly 6,500 students over the United States enrolled from K to 5th grades.
It's the 5th year ISA is enrolling all the French elementary class to that challenge.
