On Monday, we were surprised to see how much our "chenilles" (caterpillars) had grown over the weekend. They doubled in size! We were very excited to see that one caterpillar was hanging upside down in a "J" shape, which means it will soon transform into "une chrysalide" (a chrysalis).
The students wrote in their journals, and many chose to write about the caterpillars.
While the class was in the gym, the caterpillar transformed, and we came back to find a brilliant green chrysalis!
In Language Arts, we are are learning about the sound "i", with the help of our friend Mimi la souris. We have learned a song about Mimi, and today we made a craft version of Mimi. Tomorrow, the students will feed Mimi pieces of cheese with words containing the sound "i". We are excited!
We have now had a practice lockdown and a practice fire drill. The students did an excellent job and remained calm during both practices. Well done!
We also had our first visit to "la bibliothèque" (the library) this week. Visits will be every Tuesday morning, so please mark your calendars at home with a reminder to return books to school on Monday. Merci!
I would like to remind you that tomorrow is the Welcome BBQ and Meet the Teacher! I will be in the classroom (room 150, near the office) from 4:30-5:30 and I look forward to meeting you.
À demain!
Mme Bena
