Your child is bringing home their vocabulary scribbler tonight to share with you. During morning message time we have been listening for “les mots des amis” these are words that sound the similiar in French and English that have similar meanings. There are literally thousands of these words in the French language and they can be a big help when we are trying to understand what someone is saying. In our message today we had the words, septembre, frais, habitions and longues. Ask your child about these words, what they are and how to use them.

Your child is also bringing home a browsing book. They are meant to look at the pictures and scan for familiar words but they will not be able to read them yet.

Your child is bringing home the same reading materials today as they did yesterday, as in English repetition and practice helps to build confidence and fluency as well as reinforcing sight words. Again for extra practice alphabet and counting videos would be great. You could also watch music videos or movies in French. Watching movies that your child already knows, with or with-out sub-titles in French is another way to help boost vocabulary and comprehension. The most important thing is to try to keep it fun.

Your child is bringing home their “Les sons” duo-tang to share 2 little stories we have been working on as we practice the sound <ah>. They also have a little book “Mon sac d’ecole” to read to you. We are still working on these but they were anxious to bring them home to share what they have learned. We are still working on the alphabet and counting in French and it would be great if they could watch some of the recommended videos to help with pronunciation.
