We did a lot of work, finished quite a few of the tasks we started in 2018 and continued to read Wonder together.
The best part of the week was that a new student, but really an old friend, joined our busy class. He had a few busy days himself but by Friday he fit in as if he had always been with us.
Math:
In math we have now wrapped up the second unit. This unit focused on addition and subtraction using numbers up to 10,000. Our next step is Multiplication and Division. We already started using our multiplication fact cards while waiting in line :).
French:
We finished lots of work including our dictionary search activities and a writing piece about our vacations. This upcoming week we will start our spelling words and sentences (2), we will be writing in our journals again and we will be back to learning lots of grammar to help improve our writing skills.
Music/Art:
In music we progressed quite a bit this week. We even got to play a song: "Au claire de la lune". We will continue to learn more songs (as some already know and shared with us) and we will also keep practicing reading sheet music.
English:
In English, we did lots of Stamina Reading. On Friday we made it to 9 minutes without losing our focus. We also read quite a few chapters in Wonder and answered many questions. We will continue to work on Wonder and will be adding back in grammar as well as a new project on being Zero Heroes (planet protectors). This will touch on other curriculum elements as well including health and social studies.
Social Studies:
We continued to work on our Region project this past week with many groups getting real close to being finished. We will be wrapping these up this upcoming week and will start with the presentations towards the end of this week or early next week.
This week we also cleaned our desks, made some new name tags, read with our grade 1 buddies, got loads of exercise and restarted our recycling work. Thank you to Mme Annie and Mme Melendy for once again reading with us in the mornings.
Chanson for next week:
Our Chanson for next week is a song to inspire all of us to work hard and become "giants" :). The video was created by a school in Montreal and I thought the entire video is worth watching.
The song is by Pierre-Luc Lessard. The title: Soyons Géants!
