Voici les mots du “ph”. Just like in English, when put together the letters “p” and “h” make the same sound as the letter “f.” Here are our words of the week based off this sound. un phare un dauphin une photo un phoque un microphone un paragraphe un éléphant une phrase un téléphone la […]
Hello families! This week, students were hard at work practicing grammar, readers’ theatre, and science! They are showing so much growth, and I am impressed with their strengthening skills. In Math, we continued work with fractions. To wrap up our unit, students imagined ingredients for their ideal pizzas, and wrote the fraction of the ingredients […]
The sounds we are practicing this week are really a combination of sounds we have previously studied – eu, ou and ill. It might be tricky to remember all the letters, but when we break them down into smaller parts, they appear more friendly. une feuille un seuil un écureuil le fenouil une grenouille une […]
Hello all! This week, our class took on a spring theme, learning all about plants and preparing our garden bin. We practiced a reader’s theatre script explaining the growth of a seed. We will practice this again next week before sharing with our classmates. Since we will be having the Young Actors Project visit Brantford […]
Bonjour tout le monde! Last week, we used games and hands-on work to build our understanding of fractions. We used Cuisenaire rods to measure, and completed spacial-awareness puzzles to familiarize ourselves with the materials. We noticed how two halves make a whole, and two quarters equal one half! We explored the many ways to represent […]
Voici les mots du son « eil » . Like last week’s words, you will notice that there are two spellings included –”eil” and “eille”. What pattern do you notice? le soleil ensoleillé une abeille le sommeil une vielle le conseil un orteil une bouteille une oreille une corbeille Bonus! merveilleux/euse pareil surveiller le réveille […]
Voici les mots du son « ail » . You will notice that there are two spellings included – be careful to note which words have two Ls, and which only have one! Can you find any patterns? la taille tailler un maillot un caillou un chandail le détail la faillite le travail une bataille […]
Hello Division 9 families, This week, we pushed ourselves to fully wrap up our Science unit on landforms. Students have now all completed their flipbooks, papier mâché islands, and labelled maps! I am proud of how hard the class has been working on these projects, and am excited for them to share their learning with […]
Voici les mots du son “ill”. This sound is pronounced very differently than the spelling would imply in English. The double “L” becomes silent, so we only hear the sound of the letter “i”, but with a longer stretch. une bille une chenille une cheville la vanille une famille une fille gentille un gorille les […]
Hello families, Happy Easter to all those who celebrate. I hope you have a very pleasant long weekend! This week, we finally completed our papier mâché islands, and made maps to explain the geography. We painted the islands, and will be drawing and colouring maps. We will use cardinal directions and landforms vocabulary, and visual-spatial […]
