Homework

It's October and our homework programme is starting.

Every week your child will bring home a book which s/he must read every day, either with a parent or independently.

Your child is also bringing home a homework journal. This week, s/he is to write a retell (un récit) of the book s/he is reading. This must include words that indicate the beginning (un jour, il était une fois, au début), the middle (ensuite, après), and the end (finalement, eventuellement, à la fin). Each part should be at least two sentences and include adjectives. Also your child must include the who, what, where, when, and why of their retell of their book.

Finally, every week on Fridays we will be having a spelling test (une dictée). Your child has written the 10 words for next Friday in his/her agenda. Your child should practise these words every night to ensure success. Your child's spelling journal will come home on Fridays for you to sign. Please return it as promptly as possible.

This week's words are:

1. la banane
2. une abeille
3. une phrase
4. le travail
5. la date
6. un garçon
7. un adjectif
8. une table
9. un sac
10. une gare

Bonne chance, good luck!

The homework for this week is to write a retell of the book your child is bringing home. Students know that they need to write full sentences, with capitals and periods. Also that they should use words that show the beginning (un jour, il était une fois, au début), middle (ensuite, après, et puis), and end (finalement, à la fin) of the story. Students who add adjectives are superstars!

ALL HOMEWORK JOURNALS AND BOOK BAGS MUST BE RETURNED BY THURSDAY OF EACH WEEK PLEASE AND THANK YOU
