Monday, September 16

We began our day by having a student complete and present the calendar in French.  I have been presenting the calendar each day and students have been watching and listening.  The calendar consists of saying the date (le lundi 16 septembre, 2019), what day it was yesterday and what day it will be tomorrow.  Next, they present the weather and graph it.  They go to the Weather Network and check out the current temperature in Calgary, what the high will be and look at the long range forecast.  This ties into our first science unit on hot and cold.  The helper of the day also creates 3 different patterns for students to solves, practices counting the candy in the candy jar as well as the number of days in school.  The helper of the day can ask a friend to help them complete these tasks.  The calendar is done with a program called Notebook and is interactive, meaning they move things around and write their responses on the Smartboard for everyone to see and learn from.  We continue the calendar for the rest of the year.  Each day a different students prepares and presents it to us.

Today in FLA, students wrote in their journals about something they did on the weekend.  We also read a book on the Smartboard, making predictions in French about what was happening on each page.  Our focus today was on the question mark and how when we ask a question we need this type of end punctuation.  In math, students conducted their own survey, asking a question they had come up with.  Please see the pictures below.  In science, we started our unit on hot and cold by looking at various images and deciding whether it was "chaud ou froid."  Students wrote their answers on their whiteboards (see below).  In PE, students completed their first run in preparation for the Terry Fox run.  Please send your child in with running shoes, rather then boots as boots are a little tricky to run in. Scholastic book order was handed out today.  If you would like to place an order, please do so by Monday, Sept. 23.
