Words of the Week

Hey! We had 20 children yesterday! First time in 3 weeks that we've all been at school at the same time. It's been nice to hear about all the amazing holidays you've been having. Thanks for encouraging your travellers to write about it in French!

Our animal reports are coming along really nicely. All students have found all the information they need and are working on writing it up under the correct sub-title in their good copy. Here are some researchers hard at work today:

Don't forget to get all those Dance-a-thon envelopes in, and our dancing time is 9:05am Friday morning, so don't be late!

Words of the Week

Almost all of these words contain the ‘e’ sound. Notice the difference between “je” and “jeu”. They sound the same, but the latter means game. With an ‘x’ on the end it would be plural (J’aime jouer les jeux.).

The word “elle” (=she) does not contain the sound ‘e’ even though it has the letter twice. I’m sure you know how to say it (think: Isabelle). Since it’s a word we use all the time, I wanted to make sure we included it in our practice at some point.

je peux, je veux, j’ai peur, les cheveux, genou, mercredi, jeudi, jeu, cheval, *elle*
Bonus words: neuf, renard
