September 19-30th

In French, we have continued to work on developing basic vocabulary to describe ourselves. Additionally, students have learned how to describe the weather and have learned the days of the week and months of the year. Our main focus has been on developing oral language skills. 

Here are some examples of routines we practice each week.  


Comment ça va? Ça va bien, et toi?( How are you? I am ____? How are you?) Students have learned how to describe how they are feeling each day. This week, students practiced with friends in the class.  

Je m’appelle _________. Comment t’appelles-tu? ( My name is. What is your name?) 


Quel âge-as tu? J’ai _____ ans. ( How old are you? I am ___ years old.) 


Next week, we will focus on French body parts and students will learn how to write a small description of themselves using the new vocabulary and familiar sentence frames. 


Here is the video we listened to introduce French body parts: Tête, Épaules, Genoux et Pieds | Kids Super Songs Français

Students are learning the days of the week, months of the year, how to describe the weather and seasons.  Students also had a chance to review and learn French colours. It's important for students to know where to find common words in the classroom to use in their writing. They were given scrambled words and tasked with finding the proper spelling and word for each colour.
