2. petit

Math
We are moving into Patterning and Algebra with numerical patterns. We are learning to build 100s charts and find numerical patterns within the chart. For example, we are looking at how a 100s chart is set up - growing and shrinking patterns, numbers within the columns and rows, etc.

What can we work on at home? Please work on COUNTING! In all different ways! -- Skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s. -- Counting forwards and backwards from 20, etc.

Language
Writing: 
We are learning to organize and develop ideas for a Narrative. We have been working on plans for our own stories and will be writing various stories as a class. We are learning the different parts of a Narrative. We are focusing on the Characters, Problem, Solution and Setting of the stories that we read and write.
What can we work on at home? Each time you read a story, please ask your child questions such as Who, What, When, Where, Why? about the story!

Reading:
Please continue to use the online "Livres-vidéos" site for further resources in French. Please visit the Sight Words activities as well as the Books sections.

I will be completing another GB+ Reading Assessment with the class in the Spring.
Please continue to work on the reading strategies that we have been focusing on in class - point to each word, re-read words after sounding out, covering words, using pictures to make connections with vocabulary words, read out loud, recount the story after reading, etc. 

Have a great week and March Break!
