Happy Friday!

Hello learning friends!
Day 2s are always a quick morning for us in Room 208; only 2 periods before heading off to PA and then lunch! Wow!

Despite our short time together this morning, we did pack in a lot of learning. Here's what we were up to!

Our tomato plants continue to grow, with new seeds germinating every day.
Group G now has 18 germinated plants.
Group H is not too far behind with 14.

After making our daily Science observations, we played Math battleship to practice our coordinate skills!


In Français, we continued our "Tout sur les tomates" reading with the wonderful Mme Champagne. We are using the reading strategy, "les 4 fantastiques" to: predict, question, clarify and summarize what we are reading.


Reading non-fiction texts in French is tricky because the level of vocabulary is often at quite a high level (scientists enjoy using big, fancy words!) so following these four steps and taking the time to do the word work involved really helps us grow our vocabulary base and deepen our understanding of the text. Thanks, Mme Champagne! :)
