Week 15 - Friday

Circle time:
As described in earlier circle time post
Letters of the week: Q and R

Arts & crafts:
Because Daddy is celebrating his birthday next week and Father's Day is this weekend, we decided to stray from our usual weekly theme related crafts and secretly make him gifts all week long! Today the kids made banners by colouring in the letters to spell "I Love Dad" and added on a baseball in honour of his favourite sport!

Today the kids created their own chemical reaction by mixing together powdered detergent and vinegar to make a bubbling froth.

French:
French is emphasized throughout the entire day; especially theme related words. Today we practiced saying "J'ai chaud" when they feel hot and "J'ai froid" when they feel cold, and also continued to reinforce all of the notions that we covered in previous weeks. We will continue to practice these sentences all week.
