Les formes d'Halloween

Our theme this week was shapes.  To practice our vocabulary, we played a game at circle time where we sang the shape song and students would take turns blindly choosing a shape out of the bag and naming it.  

We also made an easy reader book on our theme, and practiced our emergent reading skills.  When we read, we talk about how each sentence begins with a 'lettre majuscule' and ends with a 'point'.  We read from left to right, and track each word with our finger as we go.  We point out features of books, such as 'la page couverture' and 'le titre'.  Students are always so proud that they can 'read' their books.

To get into the Halloween spirit, we made a collaborative class book for our library on Halloween shapes.  Students coloured different Halloween pictures, and we counted how many 'cercle' and 'rectangle' and so on we found in each picture.  This book also uses the 'voici...' sentence structure - a very useful and Kindergarten-friendly sentence strucutre.

Our classroom is beginning to look a lot like Halloween.  During les maths, we made orange and black paper chains (patterning), and at les centres, students made 'les monstres' and 'les toiles d'araignée' at bricolage.  We also added a dress-up center this week, and children entertained themselves (and me) dressing up as pirates, fairies, cats, and so on for Halloween.  

To finish off the week, we made Shape Monsters with our Big Buddies.  I love how every monstre is different - it really showcases what a lovely, unique group we are in Division 15.  Our Big Buddies helped us count how many of each shape we used in our pictures - this time using the "Il y a..." sentence structure.  Our artwork is hanging on our bulletin board outside the class.  Please come by and check it out.

I'm very much looking forward to our field trip to the pumpkin patch on Tuesday and our Halloween party on Thursday.  I'm still looking for more volunteers for our Halloween party from 1pm-3pm - let me know if you are able to volunteer.
