For our eighteenth dictée, we are focusing on words with the sound CI. The following 10 terms are the vocabulary for this week's dictée, as well as the silly sentence (la phrase drôle). Throughout the week, students are to practice reading and writing the words and the sentence, and also understanding what they mean.
We will also have a bonus sentence (la phrase boni) instead of bonus words this term. If your child is doing well with the main sentence, I encourage them to practice the bonus sentence as well. (It will not be counted toward their grade if there are errors.)
The test will be Tuesday, Feb. 22. For the test, students are expected to use correct letter size, spacing, accents, spelling, and punctuation.
un cigare (a cigar)
un circuit (a track, a circuit)
un citron (a lemon)
une cible (a target)
une cigogne (a stork)
cinq (five)
le ciment (cement)
le cinéma (the theatre)
le cirage (wax, shoe polish)
le cirque (the circus)
La phrase drôle :
Voici les cinq cigognes qui vont au cinéma avec les cinq cygnes.
Here are the five storks who are going to the movie theatre with the five swans.
La phrase boni :
Nous sommes au cirque ! Voici cinquante singes sur cinq bicyclettes qui font six tours du circuit !
We are at the circus! Here are fifty monkeys on five bicycles doing six laps around the track.
