More on our little French word book, the words that have been added are in no particular order, nor are they chosen by me. When we take out our French word books, I ask the students what new French words they learned at school, and this is how we choose. Naturally, the words are related to our unit! They either trace or copy the word depending on their individual printing skills and then draw a picture to represent the word.

The first book in the series, students followed along as I read the book, they coloured the pictures and then each read the book with me, one on one. Developing French vocabulary and literacy skills! These books went home in the agenda bags today, ask your child to read the book to you!
Every Tuesday, we go to the library to choose a book to borrow for the week. The excitement over books is something I hope never fades as these guys get older! Looking at books with no purpose but pleasure develops early literacy skills such as left to right reading, recognizing that print carries a purpose, letter recognition and so much more!
Every Tuesday, we go to the library to borrow a book. The students have free rein in the library, they may choose any book their hearts desire and often sometimes end up choosing novels! Each book they borrow is written down on their blue library card and when we go to the library the following week, we can only get new book if we return the book we borrowed. We don't take them home, but if you are curious which book your child borrowed, you can find the library books and blue library cards in the newspaper basket at the front of our classroom!
Last week, we had our first writer's workshop. We talked about what an author is, about books and how some can have fictional stories, and some can have information. We also discussed how books don't always have to have pictures and don't always have to have words. We learned that all books have titles, authors and sometimes, illustrators. The students proceeded to make a book of their own. Other than needing to have their name and a title, they were free to be as creative! A few students finished their book during the allotted time and then shared their book with their peers.
Our magic bag of sounds is full of syllables comprised of a vowel and a consonant that we have learned from Raconte-moi l'alphabet. We use the magic bag of sounds in various ways. Whether independently or as a group, taking turns picking out a syllable and reading it. If, one day, your child comes home with a transparency film full of stickers, each sticker represents a syllable they have successfully read from the magic bag!
