Grade 1
This week the students continued working on the weather and the vocabulary we use when talking about the weather in English. We read the book Maisy's wonderful weather book by Lucy Cousins. We then did an activity page where the students had to draw a line from the word to the correct image. The students did very well. We then had a little time to colour that activity page.
Grade 2
The students are working on clothing and when do we wear them. If it is hot/cold outside we wear different clothing items. The students had to categorize the clothing and put them under the correct column. They did very well.
Grade 3
The students are working on their final project: a written task. The students have done the rough draft and they now have to work on the final draft and I will be correcting them as they will be used to put a grade in the report card. They also had another written task a few months ago and a few written tasks that will be counting as well.
Have a safe and happy March Break! Enjoy

This week we worked on Sneezy the snowman and his bad choices. We invented 3 new things that would be too hot for our snowman and make him melt again! The kids have a super imagination! They came up with super ideas! I was so proud of them!
They worked very well.
We also played a dice game to build a snowman. The students had to play two by two and the first one to draw a snowman won. They got to practice game playing words like: It's my turn, It's your turn, wait a minute, roll the di etc... They loved it!
Grade 3
We read a text on superpowers and the students had to answer questions related to this text. The students will get the next class to finish answering the questions then they will start the new project of making a new superhero and invent his/her super powers. It will be great!

Week of January 14th to 18th
Grade 1
This week we read the book There was an old lady who swallowed a fly, a classic! The kids love this book! We laughed at the old lady that eats too many animals! We then make our own old lady brown bag puppet where the kids can have the old lady eat the animals and put them in the bag. This activity is always a favourite for the students. They should be bringing them home today or this week so make sure you ask them to tell you the story with the puppet!
Ps: the grade 1 students are allowed to bring their teddy bear or other stuffed animal to school to their English class. Please read the note found in your child's agenda. Thank you
Grade 2
This week we reread the book The Zoo by Rod Campbell. The book is about a child asking the zoo for the perfect animal. But the zoo send him all sorts of animals that are not appropriate for the kid or for a house! Finally they send the perfect animal! Can you guess what it is?
The kids then have to make their own letter to the zoo asking them what animal they would like.
Grade 3
This week we continued working on prepositions: on, under, in and over. The students had a little listening exercise to make sure they knew their positions. They did well. We are now working on a guess where is my character. The students had to put 4 stick figures on the page and next class they will have to have their partner guess where they put the figures. ex: the stick man is on the volcano, the stick man is under the tree, the stick man in on the rock etc. It will be fun and this will allow me to evaluate oral interaction and comprehension.
Have a great week

Grade 2
Last week the students and I read the story 'The pigeon needs a bath' from Mo Willems. The book is about a pigeon who makes a million excuses to NOT take a bath! It is really a cute and fun book that the kids enjoy! I then asked them to draw how and what they like to do in the bath. Some students like hot water and love to play with their brother or sister, some like cold water and just like to relax in their bath. They will finish this project then share with the rest of the class.
Grade 3
Last week we worked on the verbs we will see in the new unit Super Powers. So we saw action verbs like walk, run, climb, push, pull, lift etc. The students will need to know them and what they mean as they will need to use them in their final task. The students really are working well and it is a very nice group. Keep up the good work!
