Our letters this week were W,X and Y. We are continuing to practice writing our numbers to 3. We spent some time talking about Rhyming words this week. (Les rimes) We learned that riming words have the same sound at the end. We also found that if we are not sure if two words rhyme we could repeat the end sound of both words to see if they sounded the same. Lundi (iii) Mardi (iii) (Ils riment!) - They rhyme Mardi (iii) Dimanche (anche, anche, anche) (Ils ne riment pas) - They don't rhyme. We went outside and played in the snow this week. We discovered that the snow was just right for making snowballs (boule de neige) and snowmen (bonhomme de neige). Some of us were already very good at making snowballs so we helped our friends learn how to do it. We made little snow balls (petit) medium snow balls (moyen) and big snow balls (grand). We also learned the words giant (geant) and enormous (enorme). We spent some time talking about remembrance day this week. We learned that there were wars and that people fought to protect us so that we could be free. We talked about freedom by imagining a world were we couldn't pick what we ate, what we wore or who our friends were. We thought that would not be a lot of fun. We also thought that it was important to remember about wars so that we would work really hard at never having one again and having peace. We thought that we could have peace in our lives if we tried really hard to be kind and find good ways to solve our problems. We read Todd Parr's Peace Book and got some other ideas about what Peace might look like too. We began a new collaborative art project this week too. We are making one tiny art project for every color. When we are done we will work together to put it all together into a big art display. One of our wonders this week was "What would the perfect recess look like?" We thought that our perfect recess might be in the snow or playing soccer. We imagined what the perfect recess might look like, sound like, and feel like. We decided that the perfect recess would mean that: Everyone was having fun Everyone was being safe Everyone had a friend Everyone was being kind Everyone was sharing Everyone was being included Our goal is to try and work together to have the perfect recess. So far we learned that we need to find better ways to include people and to play safely. We also learned that sharing can be a lot of fun. | |
