Words of the Week

Sorry, my bad!
Note to self: Never try to do things out of the usual routine. You forget things.

Words will come home tomorrow and grade 2s are excused from Monday homework this week. A reminder that we are leaving at 11:30 tomorrow for our trip. Layers, layers, layers!! This trip will be tons of fun, as long as we are dressed for the weather!

Words of the Week
This week we are reviewing the sound, ‘é’. E-accent aigu is like an entirely separate, extra, vowel in the French alphabet. You can think of the sound ‘ay’ in English, as in “May”. In addition to é words, I would like everyone to memorize the words “j’ai” (= I have, or sometimes, I am) and et” (= and). They sound like é even though they don’t look like it, and we use these words all the time.
Grade 1: éléphant, bébé, école, *j’ai*, *et*
Bonus words: année, idée
Grade 2: idée, bébé, école, *j’ai*, *et*
