K-2 French Update Week 7

Bonjour tout le monde!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break full of food, family, and great memories!  This week in French, we will be picking up right where we left off and looking to finish the semester strong.

Kindergarten:

This week, we will continue with the months and the seasons.  If you still have it, feel free to use the wheel your child colored to review the vocabulary.

1st Grade:

We will continue working with classroom objects and our gendered adjectives.  Last week, we learned that if a word's article is une, which makes it a feminine noun, the adjective modifying that word typically has an -e at the end (e.g. blanche, verte, noire, bleue).  If the article is un, which indicates a masculine noun, we use the color adjectives that we learned before.  For example, a green pencil case would be une trousse verte, but a green backpack would be un cartable vert.  We will continue working with this concept through the end of the week, and we will begin lesson two of our second unit next week.

2nd Grade:

We will be covering the same material as 1st Grade (see above) with a particular emphasis on learning the written forms of the words.  Whenever we do copy work in class, I often check it and allow students to take it home with them.  If you would like to help your student practice writing and spelling the vocabulary, redoing this copy work with the class copy as a guide could be helpful.  If you are unsure about anything, please feel free to get in touch with me.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving break, and I look forward to seeing your students again tomorrow!

A bientôt!
