L’alphabet:
For those who are just joining us this winter, I had shared this with our fall participants and I think it’s a helpful tool to have so I’m sharing it again here. Why is it important? Because the images I chose are relevant to both English and French words, ensuring there’s no confusion with letter learning!

This week’s focus: We’re comparing sizes of groupings in this week’s math plans. Are there more snowflakes in the right box or in the left box? We will use the mouth of “le dino” ( < ) to help us show which collection has more or less. We will use ( = ) to show when both collections have the same amount.
Step 1. Parent & Child Video
This week’s math task: Download this week’s math activity to print (or recreate a similar version yourself). Parent instructions (including the French words & phrases you need to complete the activity) are provided in the download below.

Another fun experiment this week: The disappearing colours.
Watch the steps in Madame Amy’s lesson and then complete your own magic drawing with your child.
Some basic French vocabulary to assist you with this week’s science experiment:
Science Journal:
JK/SK has a huge range of abilities based on a child’s age and past experiences and so I always ensure worksheets can be modified to their needs. If your child can write, great! If not, not to worry at all- you can have them draw or even take photos and print and cut them out if they prefer it.

“Outdoor Education” doesn’t have a parent & child video (since you’ll need to be outside to complete it!).
Outdoor Activity of the Week: This outdoor educational activity is related to our French lesson. Let’s build a snowman!
Don’t have snow where you are?
Extra science experiment time! Make a mini indoor snowman with homemade snow by mixing baking soda & white hair conditioner. It molds together nicely, smells amazing, makes your hands nice and smooth, and it even feels cold!!
French vocabulary:
Use your snowman to complete the activity found in this week’s French section. What outdoor items can you find to add to your snowman?
Use the vocabulary below to help!

If you would like to send me videos or photos of your child’s work / French practice, I would love to see it! I’ve found the easiest way is through instagram stories, posts, or even private message to our account. Not a fan of instagram? Not to worry! Feel free to send anything my way via email. Just note that sometimes photos/videos can be too large to send!
I will always do my best to respond asap to help encourage your little one 🙂
