Food, Objects in the Classroom and Family!

The grade 4s and 5s have just finished up our unit on objects that can be found in the classroom. Students were first introduced to new vocabulary, which they practiced through various games and activities over a few weeks. For their final assessment, students created a “Dans mon sac à dos,” project. For this task, they were asked to write out a list and draw objects that they could put in their backpack. They then chose 5 objects and wrote complete sentences to describe what they had put in their backpacks. Finally, students presented their work tand did an amazing job practicing their French oral skills. Students were allowed to pick one silly item to place in their backpack as well, as it further demonstrated their understanding of the new vocabulary ( ex: chair, teacher desk, door). We had a good laugh! 

 

Examples of sentences: 

J’ai un crayon dans mon sac à dos.  ( I have a pencil in my backpack). 

J’ai un stylo dans mon sac à dos. ( I have a pen in my backpack). 

  

  

This week we started a new unit on how to describe our family members in French. Students will be creating a family tree using the new vocabulary. 

  

 

  

In grade 6, students have been learning new vocabulary about food. They have been tasked with designing a food truck, which they will be creating a menu for. Once their designs and menus are complete, they will learn how to order from a restaurant in French.
