Once the 19 books have been completed, we will commence guided reading in class.Remember to read the sound sheet of the night (placed in agenda) and review les "mots outils" located in the box on the bottom of the sheet. Stay tuned for another special video presentation. Mr. Duplessie was in last week with his iPad equipment to film use learning to speak in French. Students are enthusiastic to see the videoMath - We continue to practice our numbers orally up to 100 in class. Please refer to my web links in order to practice at home.
