Nouvelles de Miss Tulip


Comme vous le saviez, l’année dernière nous avions une nouvelle élève: Miss Tulip. En octobre dernier, elle est allée chez Mira pour une semaine d’évaluation. Voici le bulletin de notre Miss Tulip et sa qualification. Elle a été qualifiée chien reproducteur. Ceci veut dire que notre Tulip sera maman de nouveaux petits bébés Mira! Et qui sait… peut-être qu’un jour je reprendrai un de ses bébés afin de recommencer l’aventure avec l’école D’Iberville.

Bravo Miss Tulip!!!

This week we learned the song Put on your shoes (we changed it to boots) by Super Simple Songs. The kids had to learn different clothing they need to wear in winter and a bit about the seasons. We then played a game of categorizing the clothes in the correct season. The kids were really good and they had a lot of fun. Then we worked on an activity page writing the clothing items and then they got to colour.
