This week at school, we are focusing on the sound "an" , which makes the sound like "agn" and the action is to put your hand behind your ear and say "agn" , as if you haven't heard something.

The words of the week are:

1. orange - orange: Le soleil est orange.
2. blanc - white: La neige est blanc.
3. ans - years, as in "I am 7 years old": J'ai sept ans.
4. dans - in, as in, "Put the pencil in your desk": Mets le crayon dans ton pupitre.
5. grand - big: Le chat est grand.
6. maman - mom; La maman pousse le bébé.

Please be aware that the Read-a -Thon has kicked off.  In class, we discussed an appropriate reading goal for grade one students.  We determined that 10 minutes of reading each night is a good goal, with the possibility of reading for longer.  The students received a calendar that they will record their reading minutes on every night for 5 weeks.  The students will return their calendar each Monday to show me their progress.  Those who reach their weekly reading goals will receive a token to be entered into a draw box.  Every Monday at 3:10, the draw prize winners will be announced.  Don't forget to send in the reading calendars each Monday!

 

Have a great week!
