Reading Program

Today your child brought home a French and English Reading Program. The duotang is to remain at home for the week and be returned to school on Fridays. In the duotang you will find an explanation of each program (French and English) but should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact either myself or Mlle T. As well, in the English section, I have included a list of frequently used words. You may choose to practice some of these words with your child each night (it is a long list) and once they are able to read all of the words, try having them spell the words or use them correctly in a sentence. I do not expect you to do this each night and to also read the book each night, however, it may be useful for your child to find some of the words on the list in their book each week or to practice writing some of the words.

Once again, should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact either myself or Mlle T. :) 

P.S. 

We are still working on our class zoo and more pictures will be posted soon!

Reminder that if you wish to order from the January Scholastic that orders are due tomorrow.

Welcome to the Zoo!

Over the last few days I have noticed that several students have been talking about different animals. So, today we talked about what animals can be found at the zoo! We came up with an enormous list (and we could have kept going but ran out of time - so we plan to continue it tomorrow) including some questions we had about these animals. Today we decided to do research on elephants and here was what we found:

- San Diego Zoo Elephant Cam (live link to elephant exhibit)

-  How long is an elephant's trunk? An elephant's trunk can grow to be 2 meters long!

- What do they eat? Elephants are herbivores (which means they eat plants) and they eat roots, grass, leaves, tree branches, fruits, etc.
