Academic Update

In Room 111, we are finishing strong before the end of the year!
As you view the pictures at home, ask your child to fill you in on what he/she is learning. Please continue to reinforce speaking in French in the classroom. Merci!

IMathematics, we are learning about surveys, bar graphs, pictographs, and new vocabulary in the Data Management unit.


In Language, we are delving into the poetry unit as we discuss poems and songs about winter.

Winter Vocabulary
Snowman Song
Petit Ours (Little Bear) Poem

Literacy Centers
With the Daily 5, students will be given the option to visit a language centre on a weekly basis. The centres will consist of Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading/Song, Word Work, and Drama Centre. The students will be held accountable for their learning at this time, either by completing a reader response/graphic organizer, or recording a dialogue, all for assessment purposes.

In Science, we are wrapping up the unit on living and non-living things and identifying parts of the body. We will soon begin the next unit on daily and seasonal changes and commence a project entitled 'A Year in My Life'. 

As always, thank you for your continued support in your child's education in the French Immersion program. I would like to remind all parents to encourage their child to make more of an effort to speak French at all times. Please continue to visit websites listed on the tab entitled Parent Resources


REMINDERS:
1. Book bag ('sac a livre') and Reading Buddies are now Friday's (Day 5).
