Dear Parents,
I have successfully recovered my blog address!
My apologies for this technical issue.
From last week into this week:
We
had an initial exposure to Mme.’s secret stock of toy instruments. We made a round robin with songs
from the first terms. This week students can use the instruments to jazz up
their spoken word presentations. Repetition of familiar poems and songs helps
develop the structure of the language. Try this at home :)
In class we can already see how the instrument
takes the focus off the pressure of speaking so students can enjoy the fun of making
music and song.
Mme. learned a wonderful new goodbye song at the Conservatory
and translated it for our class.
Partons en paix
Partons en paix
Que l’amour des tes amis t’entour
Tout partout
Tout partout
Tu y va.
It’s lovely.
I hope your child will share it with you.
My class at the Conservatory always insists we sing the French
version now J
Both grades have been working with 2 dimensional shapes
in art. We begin our geometry and spatial reasoning unit with investigating
shapes and positional language (under, over, beside, in front of…etc.)
Coming soon! Mme. is working on a carpet size game of Tetris
for a fun whole-class experience!
