It is the end of May and the students are restless. Last week the class talked about where we are comfortable to do our reading or to do pleasure reading. Many places were mentioned. For the month of June we are allowing the children to bring in their favorite cushion, soft chair, pillow or foam mat so they can be more comfortable while reading in class. It is very important that the students learn to enjoy reading. During the summer we will be encouraging them to read out loud, read silently or better yet the parents can read to them( French or English).
In Science and Language Arts we are still on insects. We made an ant farm and we will see tomorrow if they survived the weekend. They were still going strong on Sat.
Math is more challenging as we are subtracting 52-18=____. this is still a challenge for many but we are advancing along slowly.
Dictée is the word Liste 25 la ville, une bulle, la colle,il appelle il flotte,la Terre, une patte, il arrive.
There are still freezes being sold for $.50 each. Many children have money for a freeze on Monday, you may wish to check with them about the other days. They will be sold until the supply is gone.
We read a story about SOUP last Friday and many students said they had made some with a adult before. If it is something you do make your child can bring a bowl to school with the recipe to share with the class and I will heat it up for them. Hopefully before the end of the year we can make a pot for the class.
Monday morning we are going to a bike safety lecture put on by the police. Your child was told he or she could bring their helmets to school to get them properly fitted.
Please check the school calendar and the notes from the principal as there are a lot of activities for the month of June.
