Happy New
Year 2017 to all the families!
Thank you so
much for your gifts: your kindness touched my heart and I am grateful for you. I
hope everyone had an enjoyable and restful break!
I am excited
for all what is left to do and here is a look into the learning throughout the grades:
2nd – 3rd grade:
We reviewed
the colors and the shapes. We practiced associating the nouns with the
adjectives of color. We followed “la famille Legrand” in some of their
activities. We found Madame Legrand singing, Léo painting, Maggie jumping rope,
Marie learning English (for us at Archway, we are learning French) and Monsieur
Legrand running. Next, we learned about
the objects of the school in regard of masculine and feminine nouns. We also
practiced the objects with the color. To support all the learning related to
the objects of the school, we are currently memorizing a poem called “s’il te
plaît” – Please. Moreover, we can count till 20 and we are practicing writing
the numbers in letters also.
All
vocabulary words are found on your student’s notebook. The main vocabulary
words of a lesson are given as flash cards to allow the students to quiz
themselves frequently and master the material longer.

Please ask your child to bring their notebook home and review the
vocabulary taught for 5-10 minutes daily. This will allow them to remain strong
in their knowledge and able to accomplish any challenging task.
