2eme semaine/ Week 2

 Bonjour à toutes les familles d’Archway Arete !

Bonjour mes élèves!

I hope that you are doing well and working on packet 1, hopefully it was smooth and enjoyable. I miss you dearly and I am ready to help you learn from afar. My email is sgebara@archwayarete.org. Please let me know if you may have any questions while completing the packet. Google is a useful tool for pronunciation.

Mes élèves,

 Read your vocabulary aloud and count cheerfully! I will always be proud of your accomplishments. I like to say with a smile: A bientôt! I will see you all very soon!

Parents and Guardians,

Please find here all my instructions in regard all packets.

2^nd Grade

We will be reviewing all school activities. Moreover, students will be able to express their likes/dislikes.  One sheet is requiring students to connect the picture to the right vocabulary words. Second sheet is telling a small story about school activities. I would like the student to read it once completely. After reviewing the numbers, let’s see how students associate numbers and words together.

3^rd Grade

We will be reviewing what to prepare and eat at a picnic. We are going to complete the story about picnic by setting the table and drawing the food in the basket.

On the table, students are asked to draw a tablecloth, 2 plates, 3 cups, 4 knives, 5 spoons and 7 forks.

In the basket, they are to draw 6 eggs, salad, 4 tomatoes,

Cheese and 2 baguettes of bread.  We need to keep in mind the numbers in words: Let’s do some word search on the look for the French numbers 1-30.

4^th Grade

We are reviewing different nationalities around the world; languages people speak and where they live. Next, they are asked to check the French calendar and all the events that occur every month in France. We will take a break and look to find those months on the word search page “Les mois de l’année”. Please test your knowledge of the French Calendar with the last page. At the end, check the spelling of your numbers in words.

Vingt et un vingt-deux vingt-trois vingt-quatre vingt-cinq vingt-six vingt-sept vingt-huit vingt-neuf trente

21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

                                                          

trente et un trente-deux trente-trois trente-quatre trente-cinq trente-six trente-sept trente-huit trente-neuf quarante

31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40

5^th Grade

We are reviewing our last lesson together about what can be scary to you. First, students are asked to make their own flash cards. Second, they find a reminder on the use of the prepositions, already seen and learned with prior lessons. They are given several examples that I want them to read slowly, with emphasis on masculine singulier (singular), feminine singulier (singular) and the plural for both.  The answer key sheet is coming next. They are asked to correct their answers and read it again. On the third page, they are asked to use the pictures listed on top to tell what is scary to Alice, Leo, Maggie and Grand-mere Colette. I gave them some fun with guessing sentences. They are to carefully read all hints before they start. Yes, one more time, they are asked to check and correct their answers. To remember all the numbers in words, a word search that bring all essentials to their memory.
10-dix/ 20- vingt/ 30 - trente/ 40-quarante / 50- cinquante/ 60- soixante/
70  (60+10) soixante- dix/ 80 (4x20) quatre-vingts/ 90 (80+10)- quatre-vingt-dix
100 cent

Have fun with the learning, and stay safe, well and healthy!  

    

Bonjour à toutes les familles d’Archway Arete,

Bonjour Mes élèves, 


I hope you had a restful and enjoyable spring break!

Personally, I got to spend quality time with my husband and twins, went shopping, took several naps, and worked a little on my final paper due in May.


As we get to be forcibly away from school, I assigned some work to the students based on prior knowledge. Moreover, I found this time to be an opportunity to consolidate all numbers learned in words also. 


In the packet, you will find all the vocabulary/numbers needed to complete the activities. For 5^th grade only, I included the answer key to all required activities and some of those includes more grammar. Please, encourage the students to review their vocabulary/numbers first and then complete their activities. Google can be a useful tool if you have any doubt on pronunciation.


Parents and Guardians,

I miss seeing you all in the morning and  want you to know that your kind words always touch my heart. I tremendously miss my students and cannot wait to see their beautiful faces very soon and listen to their thoughtful contributions.

Stay safe and healthy!

A bientôt!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Yes, we made it! The French Activity books are stored "warmly"in my office. The children may use their notebooks to review all the vocabulary taught and the numbers.

It has been another wonderful year with all your children. We worked hard in various ways to finish strong. I cannot be more proud of all their accomplishments.

C'est un privilège que de travailler avec vos enfants et j'en suis très honorée.

De tout mon coeur, je vous remercie de votre confiance et je vous dis"Au revoir et à l'année prochaine".

Bonne vacances! Have a Great Summer!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I cannot believe that we are coming to an end of the school year. Here some insights about the learning happening throughout the grades.

2^nd Grade:

We started a new unit: “The family Legrand”.

Our first lesson is to know where we live. Students are to direct their thoughts toward where they live (a house or an apartment) and should consider the city, the beach, the country or the mountain. Moreover, they get to learn all the vocabulary related to the rooms of the house.

3^rd- 4^th Grade:

We started to learn about the ages and dynamics of a family. The students are recognizing the relationship among all members, with some particularities (twins, concept of youngest and oldest) and using the proper vocabulary to show understanding of those defined relations.

5^th Grade:  

Within our theme “Free Time/Temps Libre”.

We moved from music to sports and students learned all about the sports we practice. Moreover, we had the chance to know about all activities French people do during the week-end. The students got to describe their ideal week-end.

As we wrap things up, we are working on a project called “all about me” that will include all personal information learned throughout the years.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The summer is fast approaching, and with it the end of the school year! 

While we in the French team are excited for the break, we’re even more eager to gear up for next year—and a major part of gearing up is taking care of our books.

Unlike other class materials, which go home with our scholars, the French activity book will live on campus during the summer. In the next five weeks, we will be labeling and collecting these books for safekeeping. We want our Les Loustics program, which serves students for 2 consecutive years, to be ready and waiting for scholars when they return. During the summer, we invite scholars and families to use their French notebooks and online resources to review all material taught throughout the year.

If you plan to move to another Great Hearts Academy, especially one which follows the Les Loustics program, please contact the French team by email before the end of May to request your books. 

If you plan to change school networks, or if your child will not be using Les Loustics level 1 or 2 at their academy, we ask kindly that you donate it to Arete where it will surely serve a child in need. 

Thank you for your understanding and your cooperation in this matter.
