Today we started doing a bit of cursive writing. We will be doing this every Thursday morning to practice our handwriting skills and indirectly our fine-motor coordination as well.
In math, we had our addition quiz which most students did quite well on. The quizzes will be sent home tomorrow. We then continued to work on our math review on patterns.
Following math we started an art project that is a bit abstract and is really focused on using simple shapes likes dots and lines. As Halloween is coming, we might hide in there some halloween themed colours and or designs. :)
In French we did a fun review of Avoir et Etre by using a tool called Kahoot! and whiteboards. The students really enjoyed it and we will be using this tool again to do additional reviews.
In addition to two wonderful gym sessions hosted by Mme Tardif for the class, we also read Wonder in ELA and had a sweet visitor that some of us had a very close contact with: Mme Celine's little gecko. :) The gecko now has a new home in Mme Kiss' house.
