eWe had a busy learning week. We learned that to write capital letters we only really need to know how to make 4 kinds of marks. Long lines, short lines, small curves and big curves. (grande ligne, petite ligne, grand courbe, petite courbe) We practice building and drawing mat man to help us learn to make those shapes. We also did some mark making art work. We started working in our printing book. We learned that when we write our letters we always start at the top and work our way down. We practiced printing the capital letters E and F. We are learning our color words in French. We are getting pretty good at saying rouge (red), orange (orange), jaune(yellow) et vert (green). We started to talk about patterns this week too. We learned that patterns repeat. We practiced making patterns with sound (clapping) and with colors. Thursday was the first day of fall (l'automne) so we went on a nature walk and looked for signs of fall. We collected some fall leaves and made some leaf rubbings in our thinking books We learned about whole body listening this week too. You can learn about it too by watching the video about Larry and his friends. We are practicing listening with our whole body (eyes, ears, mouth, hands, feet, brain and heart) We also talked about what our ideal classroom would be like. The kids had all sorts of great suggestions like adding more plants in the room, pictures on the wall, having a party,treating everyone kindly and being good listeners. Next week we will be working on creating our class rules together. | |
