Currently June

Today, I'm linking up with Farley at Oh Boy 4th Grade to share with you my currently for this month:

 

Listening:

Kenya has been miserable and wet the past few weeks so hot cocoa, marshmallows & a nice fire are on the agenda in times like this!

Loving:

GOSH that took some time!!! Now I can look forward to the 100 report cards I have to write!!! I can't wait til this is all behind me and I can just enjoy the last 4 weeks of school... sigh for now!

Thinking:

Our aim when coming to Kenya was to get a chance to travel and discover new places. Bringing up our children in a multicultural environment has always been important to us and we feel so lucky that we get to carry on our adventure! We will be moving from Kenya... in less than 5 weeks! Where did the time go?!

 

We've accumulated so much over the last 5 years, there's a lot of sorting that needs to be done before the packing begins... Wish me luck!!!

Needing:

Honestly: THIS.IS.A.NEED! I am totally addicted to navy and my 4 year-old navy blazer is falling to pieces!!! Clothes are so expensive here and the choice is so limited that I have to wait another month until I get a new one while I'm in France :{

 

Summer lovin:

Before coming to Kenya, I used to take smooth roads, signs and lamp posts for granted. Now that I've discovered potholes and driving in complete darkness, trying to avoid bikes with no lights, sheep and sometimes even zebras(!), travelling on the smooth French motorway is a real treat!

I only get to shop for clothes twice a year (when I go to France, although that's about to change after we move!) so the Summer sales are an event not to be missed!

I'm also really looking forward to seeing my friends & family before we land in our new country in August!

Celebrate the Chinese New Year in French!

Celebrating the Chinese New Year is a great way to explore new vocabulary, whilst teaching children about another country, their customs, food and culture in general.

I have created three new Chinese New Year resources, which can also be purchased as a bundle!

Word Wall, Flashcards, Games & Sentence Builders:

This resource is perfect to introduce the Chinese New Year vocabulary in French and can also be used to create a bulletin board.

My students really like sentence builders. They're brilliant to put vocabulary into new contexts and help students build a wider bank of vocabulary.

Mini Book & Interactive Notebook Pages:

This resource allows students to combine the Chinese New Year vocabulary with vocabulary they might have already encountered, such as body parts, colours or animals.

Chinese Lantern Craftivity:

I had a lot of fun creating my first craftivity for my TpT store! The hard part was to create the different layers of the lantern... I started out using basic shapes, which I then edited using anchor points... and that takes some getting used to!

This craftivity is great for students to review their understanding of the Chinese New Year customs.

You can save over 20% by purchasing my bundle! Click on the image below to have a look :)
