at the front door and walk them quietly to the classroom. - Students will write daily Creeker Essential in their agendas and place them on the desk by the door. I will give them their Sommaire de la semaine while they write their creeker essential so they can glue it in their agenda. (This is their list of weekly homework; go over it with them. They are on my desk) I will look to make sure they have correctly written it down, checking for proper use of capitals and periods. I will also check whether they have written a sentence using their mots dorthographes. 8:20 O Canada and morning announcements - Send navy blue attendance-safe arrival sheet to the office (mini-prof can take it, they know who it is) 8:30 Literacy: because it is the first of the week we have a few classroom routines that we will be doing before our literacy lesson starts. Hand out the Math duo tangs (green plastic, on my desk) and the Devoir de maths sheet. They will complete this sheet for Friday. Les cailloux: Students will count their pebbles and also have a friend at their table count them. Ask them one at a time how many they have (keep track) and have them put them in the jar (on the desk by the door). For each 5 pebbles they have they will receive 1 billet blanc that I have stamped. They will write their name on it and place it in the Tide container (at the end of the month 3 names are chosen to receive a prize). Les tches de la semaine: When theyve exchanged their pebbles they may choose their weekly jobs (laminated white paper on the green board, they know what to do). The mini-prof is always pre-chosen. Sound of the week: Raconte-moi les sons, read to them the short story for the sound ch and explain the action that goes with it (explained on pg. 12-16). Read the story that focuses on the sound ch. Then have students orally say where we hear the sound ch, and write them on chart paper, circling the sound in each word. Les sons: Read together the sheet on the sound ch in the Les sons (yellow) duo tang. Make sure they follow with their finger.

Mrs. Pyke comes in at 9:30 to get (student). She will work with them until 10:00. Guided Reading While Mlle. MacDonald and Mme. Arsnten do guided reading, other students will work on: 1. Journal de science: Read pg. 15 of Les roches et les minraux 3 times. Dcrire 2 proprits par laquelle on peut identifi les mineraux. They will choose 2 of the described properties by which we identify minerals, they will describe them in their journals and will draw a picture. We will be talking about this soon, so advise them to pay attention. 2. Verbes en er: Review what the different subjects are (1re, 2me, 3me personne du singulier, 1re, 2me, 3me personne du pluriel). Write it on the board so they can refer to it later. When they are done with their science journal they can work on the attached grammar sheet. They are to conjugate the verb according to the subject provided.

3. Mots dortho (they can practice their Ff and Gg words, no more than 20 mintues). 4. Lecture soi (read to self in French using Good Fit books) Time permitting Mme. Arnsten will work with groups G (students names) and group I (students names) and Mlle MacDonald will groups L (students names) and K (students names). It is about 15-20 minutes per group. The guided reading basket on the greed table contains the books and a sheet explaining how to do each session. After the session their students will read the book to a partner in their group, and will take the book home to read. 9:55 Bathroom/Wash hand and Snack (students eat quietly at their desk, stay and supervise) 10:05-10:25 Recess 10:25 Bell rings (Meet students at the front door and walk them quietly to the classroom) 10:30 Math - Minute Folle: Hand out math sheet with math facts. Give them one minute to do the first column only. To correct, they exchange with someone at their table and take out a coloured pencil; if the answer is right they put a checkmark, if its wrong they circle the number only (we correct together). At the top they put a mark out of 15. Friday they will cut out their best one, glue it in their agenda, and bring it home to be signed. - Math Lesson: Area, cm squared (see attached lesson plan) 11:30 Guidance: Mrs. Sypher does guidance with students; walk them quietly to the music room.
