The students have really good routines already : in the morning, changing the day, taking the white board and writing the date, finding sentences with the "word of the day".

French :
Reading : we started our first chapter book "Kolos et les quatre voleurs". It's an easy book to start with, however I'm expecting a fluent reading out loud. We will also learn some grammar rules and lot's of vocabulary.
In the Blue notebook, you will find the vocabulary from the book VOC 1.
So far, the students need to draw the word.


Library : every Friday.

We practiced calculation with several numbers "Le bus" : calculatice
written numbers from 1 to 10 in French and English : IXL Math second grade C3
"le complement" : calculatice
We worked about the numbers up to 29.
Problem solving by teams : every Friday, we will work on team resolving problems.

WEEKLY LETTER #1

Dear parents,

Here is the first weekly letter:)
We already have some good routines and we specially love the "message of the day" white board where we can write nice messages on it every day.


This week the students have been taking diagnostic assessments in French and Math skills, which will help me plan and differentiate the curriculum to each students’ strengths and needs.
The students have also been engaged in group-activities in Math as well as learning the rules and procedures expected in the classroom. Students discussed individually, then wrote and illustrated the rules.
We used our new French notebook : writing in cursive, inventing sentences with the "word of the day".
Also, we used our "Ribambelle" book and did some reviews with letters and sounds.
We had fun today working in math  using a website in French : http://calculatice.ac-lille.fr/calculatice/
the game is called : "le bus" and we did the level 1.

I hope your child enjoyed as much as I did this first week of the new school year.





 
I sincerely look forward to meeting you on Curriculum Night on August 26th at 4pm.


Mrs. Thillier
