En français, s'il vous plaît!

This afternoon we have started a points system to encourage the class to speak French. I am especially looking for students to speak French not only to their teachers, but to each other! We have only been at it for a few hours, but I am blown away by how much many students are able to put together to express themselves in French - Bravo!!

Pokemon cards are great at home!

Hello families! Due to recent problems with Pokemon cards, we are now asking that Pokemon cards stay at home and do not return to school for the rest of the school year. Thank you for your support of this!

Meet our tadpoles!

We have had the opportunity to have some tadpoles (les têtards) join our class. We are observing them as they grow and change, and are learning about their life cycle. We are just starting to see the start of tiny legs on some of them.

Go jets go!

Thursday was the jets playoff. Everybody is wearing jets gear to do daily 5.

100 Day!

This afternoon we celebrated the 100th day of school with lots of math activities around the number 100! 

We made crowns decorated with 100 things.

We counted 100 toys.

We put numbers in order both concretely and on the iPads.

We played games by rolling dice to add up to 100, and by finding numbers that were out of order.
