We have already cleared off our desks and passed out the name tags. Your children should tell you that they need to be ON TIME for school in the morning, and that they should wear something that can get dirty (i.e., not a white shirt). Thanks! This will be happening for the next 6 Thursdays, so mark your calendars!
Also, in my previous post I forgot to list this week's words:
vendredi, au, vous allez, ce, la classe, pas, non
In class, we have started looking for the sound 'on', as in "non" (above). Listen carefully to the difference between 'an' or 'en' (as in "dans") and the rounder, closed 'on' sound in "non". It's very subtle, but I think everyone saw and heard the difference when we tried this in class. Learning what sounds look like is coming in very handy when we sound out words in our writing - something we are doing more and more - so keep practising!!
As I mentioned, we went to see two short shows in Mme Morgenstern's class today. One was called Le renard et la petite poule, about a little chicken that keeps tricking the fox trying to catch her. The other was called Bonne nuit Gabou about a girl who can't fall asleep and keeps bothering her mother with the words, "Maman, je ne peux pas dormir!" and never ending requests. Please ask your child to tell you about these shows!
I was very impressed with our audience behaviour this afternoon, both during the show, and when walking past the other areas on the way. Bravo tout le monde!
