What do trees look like in each season. After talking about this and reading a few books about seasons, we got ready for an art activity to depict the trees! The students used q-tips and paint and dotted the trees in each season with the appropriate colours. They were careful to not mix the colours, something they would typically be inclined to do! Their trees look fantastic!

We have been talking about the cycle of the seasons and learning to name the seasons in French and in the correct order. The kids coloured in the pages of the book and finished the sentence on the last page, their favourite season. Once they finished their books, we read it together. They were really excited about their little books, and rightfully so! Ask your child to tell you their favourite season, in French! And to name you the rest in French as well.
Yesterday's English class was full of a phenomenal amount of learning, questioning, observations and connections. Now all this seems like a lot, especially when I tell you that most of our English class was reading the book pictured below. The evidence of all this learning not only comes from the thoughtful discussion interwoven through the pages of this book but also from the following day where students applied their learning to a completely different activity. Three sight words were added to Mme Andrea's sight word chart but whether or not each student recognizes the sounds that form the word and can then read it is not the important part, it is the understanding of what those words mean that is of greater value here. Ask your child about hibernation, adaptation and migration...they'll have something interesting to say I'm sure! Our unit about earth cycles is about to wrap up, it has been a very interesting unit, engaging for the students and so much fun for Miss Andrea and I to teach. Yesterday, students began one of the final projects, making a book of only 4 pages with each page depicting a season. The book will be made in a few stages, beginning with the drawings, then adding the text and finally presenting the book to the class. They are already looking beautiful!
There is no way I can let fall pass without collecting leaves! With our leaves, we set up a little science corner with magnifying glasses, a tree/leaf identification book and paper and pencils for leaf illustrations. We learned a short little song about fall, the leaves played an important role. We discussed the characteristics of fall leaves. What else will we do with our leaves!? Stay tuned and find out!
