Well, the sad day has come in which we must say "au revoir" to our beloved chickies. They definitely brought us a lot of love, and a lot of mischief! We came in Thursday morning to find that they must have escaped the bathtub at night and partied with the classroom toys, only to sneak back to the tub before Madame arrived the next morning. They left their little footprints everywhere and we even found photographic evidence of their antics! "Hey, let's back this thing up, Marty!" Things got intense when Madame got a panicked text from the custodian that one of the chicks had managed to fly out of the tub Thursday night and get stuck in the wood chip bag. Apparently the rest of the chicks all clamoured onto the heat lamp, squawking at him, "Where did you goooo?! How did you do that?!" That was when Madame realized that it was definitely time for the farm life for these chickies. Maybe we will get to visit them some day! Au revoir, les poussins! We've been working on question words in French this week and enjoyed learning this catchy rap... We are working on how to use question marks appropriately, remembering to put a capital letter at the beginning of each new sentence, and sounding out words independently. We have also begun to learn some coding skills, with the help of a program called "Scratch Jr."! We had soooo much fun playing with the program and learning how to give various characters coded commands to do the actions that we wanted. Madame has plans for us to use it for story-writing purposes once we become familiar with all of the basic features. It's beginning to look and feel like summer this week! We loved basking in the sun on our walk to the forest this week, but then enjoying the cool shade the whole time we were there! Extra photos...
