At Home Reading - Les trois petits cochons
Our at home reading this week is a script for the play Les trois petits cochons ( The Three Little Pigs ). Each student was randomly assigned a role to practice at home, but please feel free to read other parts of the script as well! We will be making masks, backgrounds, and working on the use of voices, actions, and tableau as we work on these plays throughout the week. Here is a video of Les trois petits cochons that we watched today - ask your child to tell you some of the differences / similarities that we discussed in class!
Les mathématiques à la maison: June 2nd to 6th
Board games
Sometimes students are reluctant to practice their math skills at home, especially when they're tired from a long day or after extra-curriculars. Board games are a great way to spend some quality time together as a family, and masking some valuable math skills with fun! I have posted about Yahtzee on here before, but there are a variety of games that reinforce math concepts as you play ( including Monopoly, Life, and any game that requires the addition of two dice ). This week we have been working on a critical thinking challenge of creating our own board games, which we will show and play with our grade one friends in other classes. Students had to choose a theme that they thought other children would find fun, there needed to be a few challenges to keep the game interesting, and there needed to be a math component ( addition of two dice, skip counting, etc. ). Below are some photos of our works in progress.

Museum Trip, African Lion Safari and Poetry Share
It's hard to believe that it's the last week of May! This time of year is always busy, so here are a few dates to keep in mind:
Wednesday, May 28th - First trip to the Grimsby Museum.
We will leave by 9:15am and return at 11:15am. Here's hoping for some more beautiful weather as we are walking!
Friday, May 30th - Poetry Share
Our class has been working so hard at memorizing their poems and adding in actions and different voices, it is so impressive to see! We would love to see you there if you are available. Poems will begin bright and early at 9:00am.
Thursday, June 12th - End of the year trip to African Lion Safari
More information will be coming shortly on this trip, but we have confirmed the date. As of right now we are not sure of the number of volunteers that are needed.
Merci :)
