Words & Nutcracker update!

Dear parents,
Hope you enjoyed the skating pictures from yesterday! I want to draw your attention to an old post that I have updated. At the very beginning of January I uploaded and posted the videos of the dances we created with our visiting artist in December, but I couldn't load the video of the dancing toys. This is now fixed, so please scroll down and check out the full story!

Words of the Week
We are now going to start increasing the number of words per week until we reach 10.
This week we have the sound ‘ui’. We’re all familiar with this sound because of one of the first words we ever learned, “oui” (=yes). It sounds just like the word “we” in English.
It is common to see students write “je swi” for “je suis”. This is exactly how it sounds, and they’re using what they know about the letter w, so it’s all good. Because “je suis” is so frequently used, we’ll start correcting it in our writing now so that we get in the good habit of spelling it correctly.

oui, huit, puis, fruit, je suis
Bonus words: juillet, cuillère
