Bonnes vacances!!

Bonjour! Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Spring Break!  There will not be a dictee or spelling the first week to make sure everyone can relax over the break. As mentioned last week, the Spelling Units are here.  Our next unit will be Unit 7.  

Please welcome the addition of a class calendar to the blog.  The link is on this "home" page, on the right side, or here.

For some online French activities over the break, Radio-Canada has many options here.

Enjoy the break and see you back on Wednesday April 4th!

Week of March 5th

Bonjour!

Last week on February 28th as part of Pink Shirt Day, our class spent time meeting a student from Mrs. Ireton Grade 2/3 English class.  Students rehearsed how to present themselves and how to ask an interesting question.  Then, students played Math games in both classrooms.  Mrs. Ireton and I split our classes in 2 so that half of her class could teach half of my students an addition and logic game, while the other half of my class taught her remaining students a subtraction game.  The link for our game is also on the Links tab of this blog.  Playing games is such a great way to reinforce skills.

Last week we also walked to Cattlepoint and Willows Beach on a sunny, blistery day to observe the wildlife, and to get a sense of space, standing where First Nations lived centuries ago.
