Welcome grade 1 families to our classroom blog!
Each week, we post the big ideas we’re working on in class. Click on the hyperlinks to open songs and videos. Check out the menu bar above for more information and resources to support learning at home.
- Getting to know les amis!
- Our learning begins outside each morning. We practice our conversation skills, sing songs and play games together.
- Our first trip to the library is on Wednesday. Please send a cloth bag for books.
- We are starting with the vowel sound Aa. We will work on this vowel sound all week. What the letter is called, what sound it makes, hearing and seeing the sound in words we know like ananas, papa, maman, arbre, ami, chat, vache. We’ll practice printing in our workbooks, writing in our journals and reading sound blends like la, ta, sa, ma, na, va, ça.
- We use a reading program called Au village des sons to help us remember the shapes of the letters and the sounds they make. There is a short story for each sound, a character poster and an action to help us remember – this is the story of petit a.
