Unit 1: Bonjour!
After
learning the commands of the classroom, here is the learning throughout the
grades:
The 2nd graders are practicing
saying Hello and Good bye in a formal and informal way. They are looking at
their neighbor and asking them: How are you? (comment ça va? Ça va?) practicing
the question with the appropriate tone. I am fine, ok, even Fantastic! Ça va, Ça va bien, très bien, merci,
fantastique!
As a daily
practice, they write their first and last name and review counting till 12 with
the aim to recognize the numbers also when written in letters. Now, they
recognize all members of the French family Legrand.
The 3rd graders reviewed the
greetings and counting till 31. They also reviewed the colors and the shapes
and were asked to associate the shapes with the colors in a sentence.
The 4th and 5th graders
reviewed the greetings (giving their name, saying how they are doing and how
old they are). They were working hard to learn to tell the time and learn the
morning routine before school.
Et chez vous! … And at home!
Your child’s
notebook is your guide to check the learning happening in every grade. Please
partner with me and together we will instill the habit of taking the French
notebook home to study.
Yes, I encourage all students to review
their vocabulary daily, repeat the words 5-10 minutes and quiz themselves using
the flash cards made during class. Google/translate can be a big help if you have
a doubt on a pronunciation.
Have fun with the learning and always
remind your children to do their best at all times.
Thank you for your support !
