Check it out!

Hello Tecumseh Vista families! Thank you for coming in during parent-teacher interviews! It was very nice to see you again!  There were many great suggestions brought forward, and here is the first suggestion completed! Refer to "calendar" on the side of the home page to see what the week holds! For example, it will state when we have gym, music and drama, etc., as well as forms that needs to be completed and returned. I hope this will help! Also, many of you asked about my songs. Some of the songs come from a singer, Alain Le Lait. You can find him on Youtube. Look for songs such as, " Il a les yeux rouge...", J'aime les fruits",  "bonjour"! Enjoy!

I am in the process of posting key words in French that the class is focussing on. For example, during our family project! We reviewed words such as;

Maman- mom
Papa- dad
C'est moi- that's me
Mon frere- my brother
Ma soeur-my sister
Voici ma famille- here is my family!

As we approach Valentine's day, our key words reflect love, kindness, friends, etc.. Such as;

L'amour- love
Amis- friends
Je t'aime- I love you
Gentille- kind
Coeur- heart
Rouge et rose- red and pink

Everyday our students are hearing and understanding more and more and many are speaking in French as well. During this next term of the year, our focus will be reading (in the simplest form). Putting two letter sounds together and slowly expanding. At home, reinforce letter sounds with your child! Phonetic awareness is very important as we move forward to grade 1.

Having the solid foundation of letter sounds and letter recognition will propel them to read and write in French!

Thank you for your cooperation!

Mme Burnham!
