Hi guys,

today we watched a video about when the Once-Ler discovered the new place he was going to live in.
Here is what we said about it:

First, he discovered "paradise". He saw* the trees. He was* very happy / ecstatic and he cried.
Then the fish welcomed him. They said "hello" and they sang* a little.
The Bar-Ba-Loots made* a pyramid and the cute baby bear ate* fruit.
A baby bird was born; he woke up* and waited to eat.
The mama bird flew* over the river, through the forest.

*Irregular verbs*
see
say
sing
make
eat
be
wake up
fly

Hi guys,

today we continued to talk about the Once-Ler and the Lorax. I showed you the pop-up book I had and we commented on what you could see (his world and house today; his world and house in the past, when he was young).

Here is what you said:

The world of the Once-Ler

It looks like Hell now whereas in the past it looked like paradise.
   When he arrived, it was colourful everywhere.
   Today, it is dark.

Before, there were many trees and many animals.
           the trees were round and had different colours.
           the animals looked like bears or monkeys.
           the birds looked like ducks or geese.

Conjugaison de BE:
           was / were (you, we, they)
