What will we be learning about this month?
French Language Arts: We will continue to write stories about La Sorciere. We will learn new vocabulary and continue reading comprehension. For more practice with this at home, your child can also visit: http://www.duplaisiralire.com/jeux/index.htm
and http://www.iletaitunehistoire.com
English Language Arts: We have started our Novel Study of Lost in the North. We are making predictions and reflections. Vocabulary and collective nouns are ongoing. We will work on grammar from time to time and writing simple stories using interesting adjectives.
Math: We are working on addition and subtraction with two digit numbers. We will continue working on Number Sense and we will begin patterns.
You can assist your child with number sense by counting by 2's, 5's and 10's and identifying odd and even numbers. For additional practice, you can also use the following website:
