We are very excited to welcome you to our open-house and concert this Friday. Thursday, I will send home a very small note to remind you of the time you signed up for. We will not start early, but please be prompt so that you can have a proper tour before the concert starts. The little note will also suggest what your actor could wear to look their part. As you know, our second performance is from 1:15 - 2:15. Please avoid early pick-ups before that time as everyone is involved in both performances. Thanks!
You also received a note about an upcoming walking excursion. Next Tuesday, I am planning on taking Area 24 to Dufferin Grove park for some outdoor play and a picnic lunch. Again, there is no form to sign, but do let me know if you have any concerns. We need at least 2 volunteers to make sure we have enough supervision at the park. Please let me know if you can join us!
The Bike Rodeo today was really fun! We learned about signalling, the proper way to wear a helmet and we practiced skills like riding slowly and weaving around obstacles. It was neat for me to see all the kids so capably riding. Big thanks to everyone who shared their bike and helmet, sometimes more than once, so that everyone could have a turn.
Words of the Week
This week we are formally being introduced to the present of the verb être (to be). Like avoir, we use this verb every day and know what it should sound like. We will talk about some similarities between the two verbs that can be helpful for learning the spelling rules.
1. For tu, the verb ends with s - only one letter changes between the two verbs
2. Il, elle & on are always the same
3. For ils & elles, they are always the same as each other and you just add an s to the beginning of what it was for avoir
Again, try making up sentences that begin this way. E.g., Tu es très jolie maman!
je suis, tu es, il est, elle est, on est,
nous sommes, vous êtes, ils sont, elles sont
See you Friday!
