Le coin français
*** Family Interview Project Sheets are due on Monday! We will begin our phrasing work next week.
Students worked on a variety of writing projects this week, labelling, writing sentences and verifying their work. We revisited the soft and hard "C" and "G" sounds and how the various vowels change the sound. Ask your child to tell you what vowel follows the c and g to make the soft sound and what vowels and/or consonants follow the c and g to make the hard sound.
Here is a little video to help build understanding https://squat.telequebec.tv/videos/11155. Wow, the RAOUL rule, rules!
Les mathématiques
We have begun exploring the attributes of 2-D shapes. Students learned important vocabulary, compared the number of sides (côtés) and vertices (sommets) for each shape. They then worked with geoboards to create a variety of shapes.
Science/études sociales
What fun students had creating a rural community this week using natural loose parts. They then compared the two communities they created (urbaine et rurale) and discussed their observations with classmates.
Recycler, réutiliser et réduire en français!
They have been watching some cool videos from the City of Calgary about recycling and composting and have been deciding which items go in which cart, with the goal being to have the least amount of "waste" in the black bin!

La semaine de la Terre - Earth Week
Next week are celebrating all things about the Earth. Students brainstormed ideas and came up with ways to celebrate the earth each day next week. Take a look at their "schedule" of events.
