Bonjour!

Jeudi dernier, j’ai présenté notre nouveau mot “B”, le bus, et nous avons chanté “The Wheels on the Bus” pendant que je lisais un grand livre à haute voix. Pour votre activité de cette semaine, j’ai décidé de créer une activité autour d’un bus d’école américaine. Au cours de l’activité, vous pouvez parler de formes et de couleurs avec votre enfant parce que vous allez utiliser un grand nombre de rectangles et de cercles aussi. Demandez à votre enfant de vous montrer d’autres objets dans la salle qui ont la même forme.

Lorsque vous aurez terminé de faire votre bus, ensemble, vous pouvez vous diriger vers Youtube et regarder cette vidéo du Myvoxsongs. Il comprend la musique et les paroles de notre nouvelle chanson.

Bon dimanche et j’espère vous voir bientôt!

Just speak,

Danielle

Hello!

Last Thursday I introduced our new “B” word, bus, and we sang “The Wheels on the Bus” while I read out of a large read aloud book. For your activity this week I’ve decided to create an American school bus activity. During the activity you can talk about shapes and colors with your child because you’ll be using a lot of rectangles and some circles too. Ask your child to show you other objects in the room that are in the shape of rectangles and circles.

When you are done putting your bus together you can head over to Youtube and watch this video by Myvoxsongs. It includes the music and the lyrics to our new song.

Have a happy Sunday and I hope to see you soon!

Just Speak,

Danielle
