Thanks to Mme Sharpe for creating this file! She recorded herself saying all 157 words on the 1st list of "les mots fréquents".
If your child isn't sure about one of their sight words, look for that slide and have a listen. Knowing these words creates a very important foundation piece for successful reading, so practice a little at a time and try to make it fun!

Happy Monday!
I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather we had yesterday! I know I did! Hopefully we will have many more nice days to come, so that everyone can get outside often!
A couple of things for this week!
1. The "Number Rumble" math competition is over, but you can still play to keep your math skills sharp! Your passwords will be good until June 30th to use M-F between 7am-2pm.
2. We started the competition with only 20 days left and we ended up finishing 32nd place out of almost 300 classes! Way to go guys and gals! You rock! AND because our class was in the top 10 most active classes on the site for the last week, we won a class prize. I'm not sure what it is yet, but that's amazing!
3. By now, you all should have received an individualized list of sight words that you had not yet mastered. Focus on those words but practice the whole list if you want (especially when doing the weekly activities and if you want to write sentences/stories!). Get creative and practice your words in fun ways! These are so very important to help with your reading.
4. There is a website link at the bottom of this week's learning activity grid. Storybooks Canada. On this site you can choose a level and a language and begin reading.
My suggestion is:
- Ensure the language is set to French
- Start with level 1 books and move up as they become easy.
- Listen to the story at least once, then go back and try to read it with the audio off.
- If you feel you are ready, attempt to read the story (or page) first and then press play to check your pronounciation.
5. If you did a moose drawing from last week's activities, don't forget to put it up in your window so the Moose Hunters can spot it!
6. Check out this week's fun learning opportunities here!

In the video she uses a piece of Bristol board but you could easily scale it down on a smaller piece of paper
and you could even add it to a stick and make a whale puppet! I'd love to see if anyone tries it!

Happy Earth Day!
Some things you can do, everyday for the planet:
Cut back on electricity (only use what you absolutely need.)
Reduce the amount of water you use (shorter showers, use a cup or very quick bursts of the tap to brush your teeth.)
Reduce, reuse, recycle (in that order!)
Family activity suggestions:
(when it is safe to do so)
- Clean up litter in an area around your home/neighborhood.
- Plant a garden of vegetables you like to eat.
- Plant wildflowers for the butterflies and the bees!

I hope you are all staying healthy, having some fun and doing some learning!
I really love chatting with you all and will be in touch again real soon!
Important reminders:
If you want even more learning ideas, send me an email, I am looking at some apps and websites that could be useful for your child, but don't work too hard. These are different times and no one expects the children to work like they would at school. Read together, be active and try to keep your brain sharp for when we get together again!
Chat soon!

Here are the words your child should know very well!
These words make up most of the words in the lower leveled books your child is reading. (and a large portion of ANY French text.) So they are very important.
Students can use these words to write sentences or make up stories too.

Bonjour mes ami(e)s!
I miss all of your smiling faces, your personalities & great stories. I really wish we could be together at school again but for now we have to go on a different learning adventure: learning at home!
Learning from home can be so much fun! Brennan learned how to change and wash his bed linens last week. He didn't think he could do it at first but after he did, and he was so proud of himself afterward!

Students did receive a hard copy of the class list, but I saw a few floating around on the floor, so to be safe I am posting it here and it has already been posted on the "Mme Comeau" page on Facebook.
