Dear K-PM Parents,

May 22nd - 25th - Patterns!

Dear K - PM Parents,

We had an active and productive week!  Below are a few photos of the patterns we created, based on the Three Little Pigs stories we read in class, in pictures, with concrete items, or counters.  Students were able to create, then reproduce 2, 3, or 4 elements in their patterns!

    Bravo la Maternelle!

   Merci,

   Muriel

The 3 Little Pigs Study/ Les 3 petits cochons

Dear K-PM Parents,

We have begun our study of «Les 3 petits cochons». We read several versions of this traditional childhood favorite and identified the Who? - characters, the What? - 3 types of houses. And thought about the What if? - the 3 little pig had built his house of paper? Or gingerbread? Maybe the Wolf would be too full to eat the pigs!

Then, we reread a shorter version, and highlighted all the words with the «ou» sounds in them. We played a detective game with this by looking for these sounds and circling them!  What great detective work Maternelle !

Here are a few photos of this study:

     We were in groups of two creating the illustrations to decorate our bulletin board!

     Bravo la Maternelle!  😉  Way to go PM Kinders!!  😎🤗

  See you tomorrow! Day 6 - Phys. Ed. 🏃🏼👟 & Music 🎧🎹🎤

Merci,

Muriel

May 14th - 18th Updates...

Dear K - PM Parents,

    As we continue our study of paper...it's textures, usefulness and where it comes from...

   We've had a classmate show us how to create these beautiful origami tulips and created them into Mother's Day Cards!  Merci Claire pour ton aide !

     We started our paper creations by ripping construction paper into small pieces, wetting it, then reshaping it, by covering the bottom of a plastic cup to shape it into little "bowls".

     Here's our work in progress...

    More photos to come as this project develops into little bowls!

   Have a wonderful long weekend!

    Merci,

    Muriel
