Thank you for all the field trip forms. I have almost all of them already.
I'm sorry to do this (I spent so much time on those forms!!), but there was a small, yet significant, typo in the information I received from the Nature Centre and at this point they can't change it at their end. Our class will be going in the PM, not the AM, as indicated on the permission form.
This doesn't change much for you - in fact, makes things a bit easier since you won't have to be at school early. We are still going on the same day, November 22nd, but we will leave at 11:45 am and return at 3:00 pm.
I will clarify this again the week of the Nature Centre trip.
Thanks!
Words of the Week
This week we are reviewing the sound ‘o’. This letter makes the same sound as in English. Think “so”.
Again, for each new sound that we learn, I love the idea of using 3-D letters
or flashcards to experiment with the vowel combined with different consonants.
We won’t be looking at each consonant in depth the way we are vowels, so this
is a great way to make sure your child has a good grasp of the whole alphabet.
Don’t worry if your combos aren’t real words, we’re just working on combining
sounds in this game!
Grade 1: orange, dos, octobre, soleil, mot
Bonus: Noël, zéro
Next week, grade 1s will add two other ways of making the 'o' sound to their repertoire so, for now, this is bonus. Grade 2s, however, are reviewing all of the ways to make 'o' this week so that we can do a new grade 2 sound next week.
The 2 additional ways to make the 'o' sound are: a+u=o and e+a+u=o.
Grade 2: aujourd’hui, mot, octobre,
chapeau, manteau
chapeau, manteau
