Dear
parents,
This week will mark our last set of words of the week, and our last dictée. We will continue reviewing what we have learned and revising our writing right up until the last week of school. It has been exciting to see the children grow as readers and writers, and begin to remember how to spell high frequency words, put into use grammar rules that we have learned, and use the resources in the classroom to help improve their writing. It is my hope that the words of the week lists will be a handy review tool for the summer. It's important to keep up the routines you have established so that the transition back to French in September is as smooth as possible. If you need the words of the week, they can be found by going back through the archives on this blog. I will leave this year's posts up until mid-August.
Here is the last set:
The verb être (“to be”) is challenging because we
always have to consider who we are
talking about (boy or girl) and make the necessary agreement (usually by adding
an ‘e’ for a girl). It’s ok if students have not mastered this yet, but as you
continue to practice, it’s something to talk about. It’s also helpful to
compare être to avoir as there are some similarities (e.g., tu es v. tu as).
Je suis fier(e) de toi.

If your researcher forgot about their homework this weekend, or forgot to bring it back to school, please help them remember for tomorrow. We will need their information for our writing task. (This was a small green or blue piece of paper with a question that they need to ask you about their place in our community.) Thanks for your help!
Here is our enthusiastic cheering section!
The record for a member of area 24 was 31 minutes and 52 seconds. Pretty amazing!
