This week was our last week with the help of our wonderful EA, Mrs. Cotton! So, yesterday we surprised her with a little «Aurevoir!» song and presented her with a Thank you card (& a little Starbucks gift card)!! Merci beaucoup Mme Cotton! Best wishes in your new career! We gave her a big Thank You Hug too!!
In Français, we worked on reading, writing, and listening to rhyming words in our winter poems! We circled them using a highlighter, then we would reread our poems together. We listened to different stories, «en Français» during story time and talked about winter themed words.
During our centre time, I've been working with each student 1-1, to give them some IDI (Individual Direct Instruction) to meet their greatest needs. This included strengthening fine motor skills, printing their name, reading in French to identifying sight words and theme words, counting, etc.
We are starting learning centre time, which are based on Français reading, Math concepts: identifying numbers: 1-10, Science activities and fine motor skills. In these learning centres, «Les centres d'hiver» (which will be themed based) will be done in small groups, that I have formed, and we will rotate everyday. During each centre, I will assign a specific "job" for each child, in order to learn to work cooperatively in a group. We will have the following jobs: Captain/ «le Chef», Gopher/«Chercheur de matériel», and Timer/«le Garde-temps». This is the first time I will be trying this at a kindergarten level, so I'm hoping it works!! I will let you know as the weeks progress...
