Skinnamarink ....

Hi everyone,
I am soo looking forward to this week! Mainly because I get to go see Sharon, Bram and Friends...I mean the students get to go see them! They have asked the students to get familiar with a couple of their songs so that they may join in. I will attach the links below feel free to practice at home and get these tunes stuck in your head.

In French we continue to learn about members of our family. If you have not done so yet please fill in the names of family members on the green sheet and send in individual pictures of each member. Please keep in mind we will be cutting these to make our family tree. We will start putting our family trees together on Friday October 21 so please make sure your child has their photos.
We have also started to learn our Halloween vocabulary and next week will be making our own haunted house books. We continue to review letter sounds and are starting to learn about combined letter sounds in French such as "on" like in cochon. Please review letter sounds with your child.
Here is a link....not the greatest!!!! But it will give the students a head start on learning combined sounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2T10hZbH-k
