Les devoirs (Homework)

November 11 - 14, 2013

This week we are learning the sounds for the letter Ss and Nn.

In class, we discussed how the syllables are not just found at the beginning of a word but can also be found in the middle or the end of the word.  

In French, we say: Au début, au milieu, où à la fin.

sa         se          si          so         su
1) sapin     2) cerise      3) musique      4) soleil      5) sucette

na        ne         ni         no        nu
1) banane     2) mitaine      3) nid      4) domino      5) nénuphar

Please continue to practise the syllables and read nightly at home. Have your child read every night for at least 15 minutes.

This week we are working on Cc and Vv sounds.

We can make two different sounds with the letter C.
There is a hard C (C dur) and a soft C (C doux).
The hard C makes a [k] sound like in the word carré (square).
The soft C makes a [sss] sound like in cerisier (cherry tree).
