Science experiment:
The themes for this week's science experiments will all begin with the letter F!

Friction
The kids explored the concept of friction by sliding items on different textured surfaces and noting the differences in how far they slid. We then discussed why the items slid further on a smooth surface as opposed to a bumpier one.

Physical activity:
Sports Skills Development and Gymnastics class at Le Petit Gym.

Outing/social time:
Sports Skills Development and Gymnastics class at Le Petit Gym.

Worksheets:
Finding words that begin with F, colouring F word pictures, filling in the missing F, ordinal numbers, filling in missing letters from family related words.

Hands on math:
None.

Computers:
There were very few games related to our Family & Friends theme on the iPad (only Just Me and My Mom and Play 2 Learn French) so the kids played letter tracing, sound recognition and number games as well.

Music:
Danced and sang along to our Friends & Family theme compilation cd.

French:
French is emphasized throughout the entire day; especially theme related words. Today we practiced asking "Est-ce que tu peux me laver s'il-vous-plait?" when they are finished eating and want to have their hands and faces washed, and also continued to reinforce all of the notions that we covered in previous weeks. We will continue to practice these sentences all week.
