Bonjour

Today we learned a new song called "Dans ma salle de classe." This is a fun song about the objects in a classroom and a scary teacher. Practicing these songs at home help reinforce French vocabulary as well as early reading skills. In the coming weeks, I will send a duotang home with some of our songs and this will be the beginning of our home reading program.

We also played Math baseball (as you may remember from earlier in the month) but this time we played with 2 dice. We play dice games to practice subitizing. This games also helps practice number formation as well as counting French.
Try playing Math Baseball at home this week, your child can teach you.
When throwing 2 dice, please watch your child and encourage them to count on. Start with the biggest number (ideally they can subitize it and not count it) and then count on on the second die. This is a more efficient strategy until they can add them with mental math.

A bientôt!
