Hello parents,

I hope we all survived conference week. It was surely interesting for me (and the kids!) to be without Frau Julia for 3 days. I had to listen to a lot of “But Frau Julia says/does….” during that time 😊

Thank you all who came to the conferences. We hope Frau Julia could answer all your questions. Feel free to email her if anything stayed unclear. On Monday, Frau Julia will send out an email with the conference form that were filled out during your conferences so you have them for your records.

If you haven’t done so yet, please send back the signed envelope with your child’s agenda as soon as possible. The report cards are for you to keep. 

Because we had a rather short week with very short days our main focus was on reviewing what we learned the past weeks. We reviewed shapes in 2D and 3D as well as position words (uber, unter, vor, hinter, zwischen, in, …) We will not send home orange folders this week since there is not much in there because of the very short days. However, we will send home an Igel picture we made from fall leaves.
Next week, we will have our summative assessments for unit 2 and start crafting our lanterns for the Martinstag Parade. Thank you again for all the donations to our lantern project!

This week we also practiced further our Martinstag song “Herbst”, which we will sing during the Martinstag Celebration. So far, all your kiddos are fluent in the first part and refrain of the song. It gives us goosebumps to listen to them singing in German so fluently! I will post a video of them on the google drive later today. Here is the link to our song if you like to play it at home as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=533aBgtbeRo

Please make sure your kid has rain boots and a poncho ready. We will have them wear those during the performance on November 9.

Also, since the weather got so much cooler, please make sure to send a sweater or jacket to school. Some days are pretty cold in the morning and during recess. Please label it with your child’s name.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Frau Christin
