The students and I got off to a productive and fresh start to 2015. Here are snap shots of our work in each subject area.
We began the New Year by reflecting on what we listen to, we would like, we think of, and what we need. The students and I completed a graphic organizer and discussed our thoughts.
In Mathematics, we began the Data Management unit (Traitement des donnees). We are comparing data by using surveys and representing data on bar graphs and pictographs.
In Language, we are learning about rhyming words and types of poems (e.g., acrostic poems). We are learning about adjectives (words that describe a person, place, or thing) and describing our feelings as a result of our word choice.
In Social Studies, we are completing our culminating task for the unit on community. We discussed that a community consists of people, buildings/structures, and modes of transportation.
For the culminating task, students were given the choice to build either a building or a mode of transportation using recycled material. They then completed a graphic organizer to explain what was built and how it benefits the community. The final step is a presentation in the form of a gallery walk.
In Science, we are beginning the unit on Daily and Seasonal Changes. We are tying this unit into our Visual Arts period, as we are describing, analyzing, and recreating scenery using various materials for added texture.
The new reading program,"Mon partage de livre", has commenced. Students are reminded to return the package and the book every Thursday and to be prepared to read the book to the class and answer follow up questions.
As always, thank you for your continued support in your child's education. Please check the Parent Resources tab located on the right hand side of the blog for a list of French websites.
