Here we are, nearing the end of October, and we are starting to catch on to a lot of the routines in our classroom. "Quiet time" after lunch has become impressively quiet, and we can now all join in (and in French!) while Mme Van Sickle goes through the schedule for the day and asks the "chouchou" our mystery show-and-tell questions. We have begun working towards Guided Reading this week, with a focus on teaching the students to be independent at various literacy centres, freeing up Mme to do some small group levelled reading. But it's not all work, work, work and no play!... We had our "pattern party" this week ("fête des régularités") and students made patterned masks, Froot Loop patterned necklaces, played with real leaves that had fallen off the trees to make colourful patterns, etc. Thanks to all who brought in the yummy patterned food for us to enjoy! We also got to go on a special walking trip to the park with our Big Buddies, enjoying one of the last beautiful sunny fall days. Our buddies acted like the "moms and dads" while they were with us and stuck right by our sides, letting us take the lead as to where we wanted to go. We all had a great time!
