“La chenille qui fait des trous”… c’est la semaine prochaine!!
HALF HOUR
This morning, we had some more fun with “Six petits canards.” In Jen and Rachel’s class, Jatin, Kaitlyn, Lucy, Hannah and Navin had a turn at being the lead duck and wearing “les plumes.” In Pat and Arleen’s class, Charlotte, Trevor, and Julia each had a turn. This was the last week of acting it out. They were so enthusiastic, acting it out, and helping me to sing some of the words. Très bien, mes amis!
I then read them the story, “La chenille qui fait des trous.” Next week, the morning classes will get to watch the extended day kids perform during their morning French time. So, to make sure that they knew the story, we read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” in French. They are so attentive and such great listeners. They might even now remember that la chenille is the caterpillar and le papillon is the butterfly.
We also did some review of numbers. I showed them various pictures and asked them, “Combien de…?” They had to figure out how many of each item was in the picture. The older children definitely know their numbers and the younger ones are starting to catch on. Oh, the things we have to look forward to next year!
EXTENDED DAY
In the afternoon, we had another dress rehearsal. We still need to work on volume, so I hope you bring your good listening ears next week. 
They did a great job remembering where they’re supposed to be and were very focused on their parts. I am so impressed with their hard work. C’est fantastique!
We’ll have another practice next Monday afternoon. I think we are all looking forward to the big day. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Merci et à la prochaine…
we’re so looking forward to the performance! As grandparents, we so often don’t get to participate in school special events (such as the Tea) because of space so this is a real treat! Jeremy is our only grandchild on both sides of the family and we all have been “the village” caring for him since he was born! Such joy!

I’m glad that it will work. From what I hear, there might be 40 people attending. We really need to work on the children’s projection voices. That’s what Monday’s extra practice is for. I hope the children really speak up so that people can hear! Jeremy is very lucky to have such supportive grandparents. Thanks for writing!
Ryan is so excited! Thank you Nicole for your excellent work you did this year. The children absolutely love you. It is amazing how much they have all learnt. See you next week!!
Tracie
Thanks, Tracie! Ryan has done an excellent job learning his lines and he is so great about staying focused and putting in his best effort. The extended day children are truly a wonderful bunch. I will really miss them next year.
À bientôt,
Nicole
