Bonjour à toutes les familles d’Archway Arete!

Here is the learning happening in all grades.

4^th-5^th grade

As we finished all school and playground activities, we did review the family members (including the cousins, uncles and aunts) and told each other about own Birthdays.  We continued with the seasons and the weather related to it. We are moving forward to learn about the body parts, physical appearance (particular features and accessories), express emotions and tell where we have aches and pain.

Using all the vocabulary learned, the students are taking turns to introduce themselves and telling (first and last name, gender, nationality, their age and when is their birthday, their siblings, country they live in, language they speak, what they like about school and activities on the playground).

Here it is:

Je m’appelle ………………………………………………

Je suis un / une ………………………………………….

Je  suis ……………………………………(nationality)

J’ai ……………………………………… ans.

Mon anniversaire, c’est ……………………………………….

 

J’ai …………………….. frère (s)   /    je n’ai pas de frères.

J’ai …………………….. soeur (s)  /   je n’ai pas de soeurs.

 

J’habite …………………………………………………………………

Je parle  ………………………………………………………………..

A l’école, j’aime …………………………………………………….

Pendant la recreation, j’aime ……………………………………

 

2^nd    -     3^rd Grade

After finishing the school activities and playground activities, the students are learning about the French Family. We follow them at home (defining the location) and move with them into their own space (identifying all connections within the family and also learning the interior of the house). As we master the house and its interior, we are going into the child’s bedroom to identify all objects found. We keep practicing to have a solid grip on the prepositions that can be helpful to make simple and short sentences.

Here is the vocabulary:

La mer/the beach

La montagne/ the mountain

La campagne/the country side

La ville/ the city

La cuisine/ the kitchen

La salle de bains/the bathroom

La chambre/the bedroom

La salle à manger/the dining room

Le salon/the living room

 

et chez vous! ....... and at home!

 

I request your help to encourage and support the learning. Please ask your child to bring their notebook home, practice counting and review the vocabulary taught for 5-10 minutes daily. This will allow them to remain strong in their knowledge and able to accomplish any challenging task.
