Saint Remy-de-Provence Still in South of France, Saint Remy and its area is one of my favorite, I can't wait to go back there this summer. Walk over the typical Provencal little streets, smell lavender, feel the warmth of the sun, enjoy some nice cheese at the farmer market, stop at a typical little hidden restaurant where you will be able to eat fresh home made food... I could go on and on but I have to write the newsletter haha. Holidays in 3 weeks from now !
TAOKI / FRENCH SPELLING & WRITING - We studied and learnt the spelling and the sound of : /j/ /g/ /d/ /an/ /en /t/ /h/ - Next week we will do some reviews of all the sounds we studied and then work on more complex sounds like /br/ /cr/ /dr/ /fr/ /pr/ ..... - I am recently introducing some reading and comprehension work, you might have seen the papers coming home. Indeed, the students are gaining more fluency in reading, words are less "resistant" and they recognize more words globally so I increased the difficulty a little bit with introducing longer texts. How do I process ? I read the text to the students and ask some kids to come at the board and show/act in front of the other to represent a word, a concept, sometimes I just draw the story as well... And then we all underline the important words which will help to answer the questions. They are doing good ! MATH - Quarter 4 counts 4 standards, I am done assessing all of them, they were : -> Organize, represent and interpret data with up to three categories, ->Distinguish between defining attributes, -> Compose two dimensional shapes, compose three dimensional shapes ( these standards were not easy, I spent a great amount of time reassessing the students to make sure everybody gets a great grade, we also did a lot of manipulative to help) -> Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal squares. - Now we are working on the last "topic" of the book which is about preparing for 2nd grade. About getting ready for 2nd grade, I started to get the kids used to work with the all book (and turning the pages.... instead of cutting each topic) because this is the way Mrs De Baker is processing in 2nd grade. CULTURE / GENERAL ACTIVITIES / GENERAL INFOS - Art Lesson on May 17th - Fun run on May 22nd at 1:00 pm - Talent show on May 14th - Last day of school : May 24th with early out - Students loved our "social field trip" on April 25th, they got to know Mrs De Baker and do fun activities with her!
