Lourd et Leger

This afternoon, we used scales to weigh things found in the class. The students were learning how to say lourd (heavy) and leger (light) to compare/describe two objects.

Holiday Fun

Wow...what a fun day we had! We had two parties today. Before lunch, we celebrated Lunar New Year. Some students handed out lucky red envelopes to the class and shared some of the traditions with us. After lunch, we celebrated Valentine's Day. The students had fun passing around the cards they made for their friends. There was a lot of thought put into them. By 3:00, the students were full of love...and sugar! I bet some of them will crash before bedtime :)

Hearts

We had fun painting these hearts. Here is the finished product. I put them up on the bulletin board outside our class to show off the kids work!

La lettre D

This, week, we are learning all about the letter d. It is common for kids to reverse 'd' and 'b' when writing. Practice at home once or twice a week and make it fun. Play a letter guessing game or write using paint or playdough.

'd' dit dddd
'd' dit dddd
descendre, descendre
ddd, ddd, ddd

Foot Measurement

On Friday, we measured our feet using blocks. We traced our foot (the students had fun doing that!), cut it out, then measured with counting blocks. When the students were done, they measured things around the classroom.

Gymnastics

From February 2 to February 12, we are doing gymnastics in gym. These are some of the stations.

J'aime ...

We are working on using the word j'aime (I like) in a sentence. After practicing saying it out loud, the students wrote about what they liked. They copied the word from the board and then tried to sound out the rest all by themselves!

J'aime ma grand-mere.

J'aime le soleil.

J'aime le pizza.

J'aime les transformers.
