Jeudi le 10
Septembre 2015... Our Day on Video!
We have had a busy day
today! We were fortunate enough to celebrate our first class birthday so early
on in the school year. We had a great time singing and enjoying treats!
In French, we worked on
answering simple questions in full sentences. This will be part of our daily
writing practice for the entire year.
In Science, we began our
first unit about the life cycles of animals (La croissance des animaux/ Growth
and Changes in Animals unit from the
Ontario Science and Technology curriculum, which you can find {Here}). We
discussed how we can sort and classify animals, beyond their species
classifications and we sorted animals by size, number of babies born at a time,
carnivores/herbivores/omnivores, etc.

In
math, we have been discussing what makes a good mathematician. We also talked
about math tools and how they help us solve problems. We classified math tools
vs. toys and through group discussions, discovered that any object can be used
as a math tool, if used correctly!

| Silent Puzzles |

We also challenged
ourselves working in groups with silent puzzles to encourage positive teamwork
and problem solving. Every group did a great job and we had lots of fun!
We also continued our
Fermez la boîte game and are getting lots of practice with addition! Today in
our Mission Possible Math, we worked on addition with missing numbers (ex- 4 +
? = 10) and we also worked on reading French numbers written in words (up to
twenty). Further practice will come home on Friday.
Be sure to look out for our
weekly newsletter on Friday!
