This week at school, we are finishing up our cereal boxes and moving full-force into Christmas holidays and traditions.  We will be looking at different country's Christmas traditions and then talking about our own traditions.  I will be sending home a recipe sheet in which I am asking each family to contribute a "secret" holiday recipe.  I will compile the recipes into a book and send them home with the students before the break.  Please send your recipe sheet back to school by next Monday, Dec. 14.

This week, we do not have a focus sound to work on for the spelling words, rather, a holiday theme:
The grade 1 words are:

1. renne -reindeer
2. boule - decorative ball
3. joyeux - joyous, happy, merry
4. Noël - Christmas
5. merci - thank you
6. canne - cane (like candy cane)

The grade 2 spelling words will focus on the "ain" sound.  They did not receive the words today due to the field trip.  We will review them together, tomorrow.

1. demain - tomorrow
2. le lendemain - the next day
3. prochain - next
4. soudain - suddenly
5. maintenant - now
6. certain - certain
7. vilain - villain
8. train - train

Have a great week!
