-Goal: to know all the letters of your name en francais!
-Ask me about our cool science experiment!We also practiced pâle and foncé. Each student presented two objects to the class and compared their colours.
Tomorrow:
Healthy Hunger- please don't forget to bring a snack and a water.

Bonjour!
Today we worked on our reading stamina. How many minutes are we up to? Were you able to stay sitting and reading?
We also played the game of La Guerre (War) using plus grand que (greater than) and plus petit que (less than). Mes amis, teach your parents how to play the game! (You can play with or without the face cards... Typically we say that l'as (ace) is a 1, le valet (jack) is a 10, la reine (queen) is 11 and le roi (the king) is 12.)
In Science we learned how to order colours from plus pâle (light) to plus foncé (darkest). Pick out some items in the house and have your child identify the colour in French and if it is pâle or foncé.
Important dates this week:
mercredi /Wednesday
Bibliotheque/Library day (please return your books on of before Wednesday)
jeudi/Thursday
Healthy Hunger lunch for those students that ordered one. Please remember to send a morning snack and water bottle!
vendredi/Friday
On Friday, I need to dress warmly for the weather for the Terry Fox Run (in layers and in safe outdoor shoes to run in rather than winter boots or rain boots). If it is snowing or raining lightly, we are still running outside. (If weather is unsafe, we will be inside.) I also need to bring a pair of dry socks to change into afterwards.
Last day for Scholastics orders.

Today we learned a new song about les couleurs. We also illustrated the lyrics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2o_E5gg2Y0
We did 7 centers with the lettre E. Ask your child to show you the movement that goes with the sound e. What was your favourite center and why?
Please return the little Rouge book when you've had a chance to read it.

Bonjour!
We have been working hard on our colour words this week and your child has his/her Rouge book to read you this weekend. If possible, please send it back to school when you are done with it.
We have also starting blending our first vowel (A!) with a consonant.
Ie:
ba
ab
la
al
fa
af
Letter and sound identification are fundamental early literacy skills. Noticing rhymes, that words are made up of letters and syllables and that sentences are made of words (all phonological awareness skills) are necessary for reading success.
We're excited for next week's Terry Fox and we are building stamina running and walking. We are also building stamina reading, we practiced the small book we made and the songs we have practiced. Sitting and reading independently (or looking at pictures and telling yourself a story - an emergent reading strategy) takes practice. We are at 3 minutes!
Just a reminder that Scholastics orders are due next Friday.
See you at interviews.
Bon weekend,
Salle 2

In Science we are beginning our study of colours.
(the learning outcomes can be found at http://www.learnalberta.ca/ProgramOfStudy.aspx?ProgramId=379983#984289 )
Today we learned about natural vs manufactured colours in science. (Objet naturel et manufacturé)
Ask your child what the difference is.
We also organized colours from le plus foncé (darkest) to the plus pâle). What kind of green objects did we sort?
I will see you all at interviews in the coming days.
A bientôt!

Today we got to do some fun letter A centers. We had 8 different ways of practicing the letter a. Ask me about my favourite. We use many modes of practicing the letters and use different textures in order to really build connections in brain.
We read about 10 easy ways to make someone's day to practice the virtue of politeness and good manners.
Can you name 3?

Today we learned a new song called "Dans ma salle de classe." This is a fun song about the objects in a classroom and a scary teacher. Practicing these songs at home help reinforce French vocabulary as well as early reading skills. In the coming weeks, I will send a duotang home with some of our songs and this will be the beginning of our home reading program.

We also played Math baseball (as you may remember from earlier in the month) but this time we played with 2 dice. We play dice games to practice subitizing. This games also helps practice number formation as well as counting French.
Try playing Math Baseball at home this week, your child can teach you.
When throwing 2 dice, please watch your child and encourage them to count on. Start with the biggest number (ideally they can subitize it and not count it) and then count on on the second die. This is a more efficient strategy until they can add them with mental math.
