Our letters this week are G, J and I. G and J can be a little tricky to remember because their names sound pretty close to each other and they share the same sound sometimes. In math, we are all about subitizing. We have been practicing seeing groups of dots, objects and ten frames and saying their names without counting them. We are getting pretty good at doing it for numbers up to 5. There is a song below that we use to practice. The song is in English but we say our numbers in French. We also learned how to write the number 5 this week. We will keep practicing writing those numbers until we are really good at them. We are also continuing to play with colors. We are beginning to learn about primary colors and secondary colors. We are also pretty good at using our color words in French. We are learning to ask and answer question in French too. We practicing answering yes and no questions in French. For example - Are you wearing blue? (Est-ce que tu porte du bleu?) Yes, I am wearing bleu ( Oui, je porte du bleu.) or No, I am not wearing bleu. (Non, je ne porte pas de bleu) | We did a mini teeth (les dents) exploration this week. With so many of us losing teeth we had lots of questions about cavities, (les caries) why we lose teeth and how teeth grow. We learned why it is important to brush (brosse les dents) our teeth and how teeth grow. We also discovered that we have 20 teeth in our mouths when we are kids but adults have more teeth! |

From the pumpkin patch to snow in one week! This week our letters were U and V. We also learned how to write the number 1. We continued to practice recognizing and creating patterns. We made some clay citrouilles(pumpkins). We are starting to learn our shapes in French. We know cercle, oval and triangle. We are also working on size words. (grand, petit). We spent a little time looking at our pumpkin experiment. Not much has happened yet. Some of us still think that the pumpkin might explode at any time. A few of us are wondering if it will melt away. Someone wondered if since there was dirt and seeds we might see a plant grow, maybe even a flower. The pumpkin patch field trip was fun. We went on a hay ride, walked through a corn maze and played. We also got to see some poule (chickens), cochon (pigs) and ânes (donkeys). We are continuing to talk about expected and unexpected behaviors and we are learning how some things are okay in some places but not okay in others. We noticed that when something unexpected happens it can make us feel uncomfortable, surprised, upset or it can make us laugh. We started talking a little bit about remembrance day this week. We learned the word for poppy in French. We also are learning a song about remembrance day. We made a poppy craft too. Here is some things we are working on learning: I can recognize and create a rhyme. I can write the numbers 1-5. I can make an ABB and AAB pattern. I know my colors in French. I know some shapes in French. I can talk about myself. I can listen to my partner when they are speaking. I know the difference between expected and unexpected behaviours.
