Week 2, Here We Come!

Happy Monday!

We dove right into learning this morning, starting with "les multiples" in Math.
As a class, we were able to breeze through skip counting by 2, but then got a bit hung up skip counting by 7s. It's definitely something we'll work on over the coming days.

Next, in Français, we started with "LALALA." What is that?! LALALA is a daily literacy activity that has students reading individually, with a partner and in a group with a teacher (Mme Careen). This will be done for 10 minutes at the beginning of every Français class. We started today with "Lecture Autonome" (reading individually) and will introduce the next "La" - Lecture Avec Partenaire (reading with a partner) - early next week.

We ended the morning with a *magical* Science demonstration that had us stumped! Please ask me how Mme Careen was able to make 200+ packing peanuts disappear right in front of out eyes! Wow!
