Le coin français
Students have been working hard on their last oral language project of the year. They have been brainstorming adjectives to describe their favourite animal and using those words in written sentences. They have also been practicing the modelled phrases in class, with Mme Ireland, with a partner and then the class. I am proud of their risk taking and bravery to share in front of the class and receive immediate feedback on their phrasing and pronunciation. There is a week and a half left to practice in class before we begin the presentations on June 17th. All students should be prepared to present on this date as we will do a random draw. Please return all project sheets and any photos you would like to share.
Les mathématiques
This week, students explored the following photo. They were prompted to find the connection between each image. Can you tell what mathematical concept is represented in this photo? If you guessed measurement you are correct. Students were then given a non-standard unit of measure ( a cube) and asked to estimate the length of their desk. This was followed by measuring with the cubes. They then got to pick two other items in the classroom to estimate and measure. We are excited to practice these skills outside next week with a natural object.
Science
Les pouces vertes showed up this week. What great fun everyone had digging in the dirt and planting their beans.
Potpourri
It was a very eventful week with the Amazing Race Finale, the Calgary Fire Department presentation with Randy Chevrier (former STAMPS player) and the Tous ensemble à Tuscany Assembly. Students did a wonderful job presenting their Earth Day Poem in front of the school. I would love to share the video with you all, but need consent from all families to do so. If you have not provided media consent this year, please drop me an email with your consent and I can post the video to the Blog next week.
