- We briefly discussed animal classification, the six classes of animals and their features:
- les mammiferes (mammals): des poils (hair/fur)
- les poissons (fish): des écailles (scales)
- les oiseaux (birds): des ailes (wings)
- les reptiles (reptiles): des écailles (scales), la peau sèche (dry skin)
- les insectes (insects): small; des ailes (wings)
- les amphibiens (amphibians): la peau humide (wet skin)
- Students were able to provide examples and group animals according to their classes.
SK:
- We played "Le jeu de dessin/Pictionary" to review the different types of feelings. We discussed the following about feelings:
Quand je suis.... When I am.....
content(e), je frappe des mains. happy, I clap my hands.

triste, je pleure. sad, I cry.
excité(e), je dis "Youppi!!" excited, I say "Yippee!!"
surpris(e), je dis "Oh là là" surprised, I say "Oh my!"
Grade 1:
- We played hangman to review the names of different animals we've learned.
- We talked about where animals live and physical characteristics (e.g. L'animal a... des poils, des plumes, des pattes... etc. "The animal has... hair/fur, feathers, legs.... etc".)
- We continued to work on our endangered animal group assignment. In groups, we worked together to answer questions about a specific animal's colour, size, weight, their habitat, food, why they are endangered...etc. We then wrote the information on sticky notes to put up on our endangered animal chart paper. After that's all done, we presented the information to the class.
