One more week just flew by and as always it was full of great activities and amazing learning.

G2 In Class Support

Hailey in Miss Courtney's class is learning about where rice grows.

Our Grade 2 students are learning about staple crops. Living in South-East Asia and in Cambodia provides us a lot of opportunities to learn about rice. Our kids demonstrated a lot of curiosity and asked many questions about rice and how it is grown. All those questions guided our research and all the children created very informative posters about rice. I had to support the ELLs and some mainstream students through this project developing their research, communication and thinking skills. We were learning new vocabulary, and practiced using it during big and small group discussions. 

Sak is creating his poster about rice in Miss Anita's room.

Samir and Sorriaj are learning about rice and other grains in Miss Karyn's room.

G3 In Class Support

The activity of this week was the running dictation of limericks. Our G3 students had to work in pairs - one student ran up to the limerick display, memorized a line from the limerick and ran back to their partner to dictate it. Next they had to practice performing the limericks in front of the whole class. We all enjoyed a bit of running but mostly performing with our friends. Speaking, reading, listening, writing skills were practiced during this great learning experience.

Jade and Mahin are practicing their limerick.

EFL Classes

In my EFL classes, the G2 students were creating mind maps and discussing RAZ books related to our unit "food as a resource" theme.  We had discussions about how and where crops grow. We read several non-fiction books and learned how to extract interesting and important facts from the text.

My G3 ELLs watched several videos with performances and produced a concept map about what performance is. We also listened to a podcast about sea turtles and my students had to create a skit in groups. The message of the performance was to protect sea turtles. My students were very excited during the activity and most of the skits were very successful.
