Words & Sounds

My apologies, I forgot the words of the week again yesterday. So forgetful!
They are:
dans, froid, enfants, si, de

This week we are working on the sound ç, which makes the 'sssss' sound. The little funny thing under the c is called la cédille, so we call the letter c-cédille. Without the cédille, a c in French can make either a hard or soft sound ('k', or 's'), but we can memorize that with a cédille, it always makes 'sssss'.
Some words that have c-cédille include: garçon, ça, français, balançoire and glaçon (ice cube).

Today we did our November dictée. Look for the rubric tomorrow. The expectations were very similar to last time, just with the addition of the sounds we've learned since then and a few words that we see all the time.
