Words of the Week & Skating

Dear parents,

Thanks for all the skating forms. I am waiting for a handful more and then I'll sort out skates and helmets for those that need. Everyone that wants to will have a chance to skate with us.
Monday is our first skating day! On Monday, please make sure your child is on time for school. We will be leaving right after attendance. Your skater will need their helmet and skates. If the skates could be in a bag, that would be best. At the very least, please make sure they have blade protectors. A towel in the bag is also handy for drying the blades afterwards. Please review with your child how to pack everything up and all the various pieces they are responsible for carrying and keeping track of. Looking forward to this adventure!

Words of the Week
Last week, we were introduced to the sound ‘en’, which can also look like ‘em’. Well, there are two more ways to make this same sound: ‘an’ and ‘am’.
“Maman” was a bonus word in September, but now we have the tools to be able to catch that final syllable. Again, search for this sound (and others) before starting to read a book. See if it’s in a word you already know or that you can sound out. That way, when you get there, you’ll be able to read more fluidly.


maman, dans, enfant, grand, janvier
Bonus words: le camping, avant
