Arts & crafts:
The kids made a telephone craft by colouring the cutout of a telephone and then gluing the digits of their telephone number across the bottom. I also used this time to review our telephone number song with them (which I had introduced a couple of years ago) and to have them practice dialing our number on our home phone.

French:
French is emphasized throughout the entire day; especially theme related words. Today we practiced being polite and saying "Excuse moi" after passing gas (something the kids in this house seem to do an awful lot of!) and also continued to reinforce all of the notions that we covered in previous weeks. We will continue to practice these sentences all week.
