Spelling words and homework.

Today's spelling test on sight words had mixed results. About half the students did exceptionally well. Unfortunately, some had a rough time. It's important to remember that each week's spelling words focus on a SOUND. Have your child focus on the letter combinations that make that sound. That way, s/he will recognize in the future when s/he hears the sound, how to write it.

Spelling words for next week use the sound [en/em].

1. le temps
2. le vent
3. un enfant
4. le parent
5. la dent
6. prendre
7. vendre
8. descendre
9. comprendre
10. trembler

Homework might be a tad challenging but I think that they're up to it! We have started our poetry unit and I'm asking students need to make a list of 3 pairs of words that rhyme (so 6 words in total). They are to put these words at the end of sentences (which of course can be silly) in order to make a poem. We have been working on rhyming words all week... 

For example:

chaton - bonbon

bateau - chateau

alligator - castor

Then they put them into sentences:

Un jour un chaton

a mangé un bonbon.

Il a pris un bateau

pour aller au chateau.

Là il a vu un alligator

qui a mangé un castor.

Bonne chance!
