Friday!

Happy Friday, friends of learning! :)

We had a great morning of learning today!

In Mathé, after learning our new Mental Math strategy, "Pense à l'argent" we took time to review for our upcoming Math assessment and then used our coordinate skills to get artistic! We can connect a series of coordinates to create many different shapes... even a snowman and a gingerbread man!

In Français, we started our class by listening to the story, "Si j'avais un requin." This story ties in nicely with what we are currently learning in Science, as it includes the characteristics of what makes a shark a part of the "poisson" group. (And, did you know, if you invited a shark to your BBQ, he would eat 5000 sausages and then not eat again for 2 weeks! Oh my!)

After reading together as a class, we continued working on our "La paix" poems. Many of us have now finished our good copies, with many others not far behind. If we are not ready to hand in our good copies to Mme on Monday, she will have her room open over the noon hour and will work with us to ensure we are successful with publishing our work.

To finish off our great morning of learning, Mme Champagne came to work with us again! Today's goal was to write a summary of the text, "Tout sur les tomates." We are using a new graphic organizer to help us plan and organize our thoughts to ensure the summary we write includes the main ideas of the text. Going through "les 4 fantastiques" each time we read a text ensures we have a complete understanding of the text's message. Once these steps are mastered, we will be able to apply them to any text in any subject! What an amazing thing! :)
