 March 22nd-March 26th This week we learned some Easter vocabulary and a new Alpha. We quickly figured out that Q has the same sound as C and K , which is a little tricky when we are sounding out words.  We started learning a new Math game this week. We are writing out the numbers and learning how to identify them in written form. We have been sounding them out and looking at our math wall to learn all the different sounds. We also had a Math egg hunt, where all the eggs had different Math problems the kids had to solve using strategies around the class. We have some expert egg hunters in the class and it was so much fun!  We had the amazing opportunity this week to watch Calgary Opera perform Hanzel and Gretel ! It was timed perfectly with Fun Snack day and the kiddos really enjoyed it with their popcorn.

 March 15th-19th  ** Monday March 22nd is Unique sock day, wear your most unique socks!!** This week we have been working hard at our early addition skills. We have been breaking apart numbers and showing how many different ways we can find to create the same number. We have continued working on recognizing and writing each of our numbers and checking our number line to ensure they are written correctly. We have also been working on writing our name using only a capital letter at the beginning of our name.  We are almost done learning all about seasons and different vocabulary for Spring and Summer. The kids are practicing saying things that they like about summer " pendant l'été j'aime......"  and adding words from our brainstorming session to create full sentences.  Also, ask your child to spell l'été- we have been working hard at listening to our different sounds and writing down what we hear.  Below is our summer song we have been listening to this week...

Only the PM class will attend from 8:30-12:40* *March 15th is crazy hair day! * This week we did a review of the seasons we have already covered -Autumn and Winter. We also started to learn about spring and some of the things we should be able to see in spring.  We are reviewing vocabulary that we already know and learning new vocabulary words for each new season.  We have also started a new early addition game and are working on subitizing numbers on dominos and learning strategies to help us count and recognize numbers more quickly.  In early literacy, we are continuing to sounding out words we have been working on- They are doing so great with this! This week we are focusing on the difference between the sound /p/ and /b/. Can they tell you any French words that have the sound /p/? It can be in the beginning, middle or end of the word.  Important dates: March 11th/12th- Conferences -...
