Dictée Words this Week

Hello all!

Our dictée words for the week all contain the /ou/ sound:
1. la soupe
2. je cours
3. je trouve
4. j'écoute

Math:
We are continuing on with Measurement this week. We have been learning a variety of new vocabulary words: longueur, hauteur, grandeur, estimation, etc. We have been comparing, estimating and measuring many different objects in the classroom. Today we compared and measured les hauteurs of our friends. The students ordered themselves from shortest to tallest! They did a great job working as a team today! :)

Language: 
We are focusing on the /ou/ sound this week. We will be hunting for this sound in various vocabulary activities this week.
Writing:
We will be introducing the Persuasive Writing form this week.
Oral:
Please encourage your child to be speaking in French in the classroom. 
Reading:
I have completed most GB+ reading assessments with students that are ready to be assessed. We are moving right along in our reading. Please continue to practise sight words with the students at home (from the chart/list I sent home last week). Also, I posted information on the home reading program where you can click on sight words and have your child repeat these words at home. We are also working on this in class as part of our centres on the iPads. Here is the information again...

Today we discussed various materials that we saw in the classroom and went on a scavenger hunt to find and label different objects that we found made from wood (bois), steel (l'acier), rubber (caoutchouc), plastic (plastique), paper (papier), fabric (tissu). 

Important Dates:Thursday Nov. 26th - We welcome another visitor into our classroom. We have a firefighter coming into the classroom to teach us about fire safety! 

Enjoy your week!
