Our Presentations were INCREDIBLE! Great work by everyone! It was great to see so much work and effort being shown in our oral presentations, and the writing was great and grade-appropriate! This week, we will move into using the Winter Olympics as our basis for Informative writing and media. We will use the 2026 Olympics to help us gain an understanding of the importance of the Winter Olympics.

In reading, we will move to comprehension, and to help with understanding and character development. Stay tuned for some great learning and ideas! This month, we will continue with a Read-Aloud, a wonderful novel called Réfugés, which follows the lives of 3 different children who have to flee their homes due to conflict.

This week, we continue our Phonemic modules. Students will be immersed with French sounds/phonemic awareness and be able to practice this in class using their notebooks and whiteboards. Ask your child all about this, this upcoming week! with the second part. This will help with creating small reading groups to encourage and boost our reading fluency and comprehension.

Semaine 17 - Graphies du son /k/ Les noms Le son /k/ est écrit avec un « c » devant les lettres R A O U L 

We will continue our weekly word list for a spelling test at the end of the week. Each list will contain various words with a common phonemic theme. Lists will be provided on paper on Mondays and shared on Google Classroom for students and on my classroom website. Please help your child review the words and help them prepare for the test on Friday. Ten words will be chosen at random for the test. GOOD LUCK! The words can be found here.

Our library days will be DAY 2. This will be this WEDNESDAY!
