Dear Parents
and Guardians,
We have
finished working on the gender, counting how many of us are girls and boys in
class and stating our nationality. The students are encouraged to practice introduce
themselves to others. We’ve been learning also the colors and the numbers.
The goal for
us is to count easily and rapidly till 31 ( we are still working to get
there) which will enable us in the future to write the date for each day we have
French.
As we move
forward, we will be working on the phases of the day. The French don’t use the
expressions a.m. and p.m. Instead they use expressions “in the morning”-du
matin, “in the afternoon- de l’après-midi” and “in the evening- du soir”. Knowing the phases of the day, we will be able
to say the appropriate salutation every time.
2nd
grade will be learning:
- Morning:
le matin ………………. We say :
« bonjour »
Good morning
-Evening: le
soir………………. We say : « bonsoir »
Good evening
- Night :
la nuit …………. We say : « bonne nuit »,
Good night
3rd, 4th-5th
grade will be learning the entire above plus:
Noon: le midi, à midi
………………… We say “bonjour”
Afternoon:
l’après-midi ……………… We say “bonjour”
I encourage 3rd-5th
Grades students to review their vocabulary daily and repeat the words 5-10
minutes while you are listening. Have fun with the learning and always remind
your children to do their best at all times.
