Les Maths (Math)

English. Unless otherwise specified, Homelinks should be returned to
school the next day. Some additional Math homework may be assigned in
French.

Math Homelinks for the week of Mar. 8 - 12: 7.4, 7.5, Problem Solving
Math Homelink Extensions: 7.4, 7.5

- Beginning Unit 4, my math class will receive a packet that will consist of different extension problems for the entire unit of study. Please keep the packet of math extensions at home and refer to it for each Homelink that is sent home throughout the unit.

Les Mots de la Semaine (Spelling words)
Spelling words are high-frequency sight words that we use in class everyday. There are usually four or five new words and four challenge words (les
defis). Please have students practice these words at home. The test is
on Friday and then they are sent home for parents to review. The words
are tested in the context of a sentence rather than as a
decontextualized list. As much as possible, I try to to group words
with similar sound or spelling patterns together. Previous tests are used for reading practice in class.


Spelling Words for the week of Mar. 8-12:
The sound of the week is "an" and "en". It is a sound that is very nasal and is pronounced in the back part of your mouth.

4 Regular Words:
dans = in (dahn)
grand = big/large (grahn)
mange = eat (mahnzh)
chanson = song (shahn-sohn)

4 Challenge Words:
dent = tooth (dahn)
entends = hear (ahn-tahn)
encore = again (ahn-kore)
content = happy (kohn-tahn)

 

Reading-  Make a goal to read to your child each day.  To get more out of  books here are some suggestions.  Ask your child questions about the story and discuss what they liked and did not like and why.   Stop periodically and ask your child to predict what will come next.  Don't forget to ask your child to explain his or her thinking.   Talk about the characters - describe them, talk about why they did things, how they changed in the story.

THIS WEEK:  Reading Response #2: NO READING RESPONSE DUE

You must use fiction (a story) for this assignment.  The book can be in any language and the response can be done in English, French or Spanish.

After reading the book (or your child has read a story) your child needs to decide how to separate the story into a beginning, middle, and end. Alone or with your help, your child should write the title then a sentence describing the part of the story for each part.

example:  Jack and the Beanstock
Beginning: Jack sells his cow in exchange for magic beans.

Middle: Jack steals magical items from the Giant.

End: Jack cuts down the beanstock and has money to buy food because of the golden eggs.


Reading French Library books- Your child will bring home books in French from the library that will often be too difficult for the child to read alone.  If you can read in French, read the book with your child.  If you cannot read French, there are still things that you can do with the book.  If the book is a story, look at the pictures and talk about what is probably happening in the story.  For nonfiction books use the pictures to begin talking about what you and your child already know about the topic.  Have your child look for words (s)he knows.  Look for words that look like English words and point them out to your child.  Sometimes if you try to sound out the word in French your child will recognize the word and pronounce it correctly for you.  Lastly, just enjoy spending some time talking about books with your child.
