Scholastic - Last Call

If would like to purchase books from any of the September catalogues (distributed the first day of school), please send the orders tomorrow (Friday) via the yellow communication folder. October catalogues coming soon!

Today we worked on retelling the beginning, middle and end of a story we read yesterday (The Giving Tree, but in French). Once we knew the French words for beginning, middle and end (le début, le milieu, la fin), children worked in partners to unscramble two short picture stories and put the pieces in the right order. I saw lots of great teamwork, both deciding on roles and talking about the story!

We have also started sounding out words including the 'e' syllable. In French, 'e' sounds more like "uh", as in "put". I'll post some words to practise at home next week. Later tonight I'll post our familiar 'a' words and some cool art pictures!

Stay tuned!
