2nd Grade Homework due 3/13
Bonjour tout le monde!
For this week's homework, there are a few different parts. First, the student needs to connect each image with the phrase describing that image. We will be using vocabulary that they have learned and written in their French notebooks.
The second section is just a brief paragraph about themselves. There are cues for the sort of answer I am looking for inside the parentheses. They will be writing about their name, how old they are, where they live, and what they like to do. This second part does incorporate some vocabulary from previous lessons.
The third part simply requires the student to use the correct form of aimer (meaning "to love/like"). This should be in their notebooks as well, but I will provide it below:
J'aime: I like
Tu aimes: You like
Il aime: He likes
Elle aime: She likes
On aime: We like (informal)/one likes
Nous aimons: We like
Vous aimez: You (plural or formal) like
Ils aiment: They like (masculine or mixed masc. and feminine)
Elles aiment: They like (feminine only)
I hope this finds everyone enjoying the sunny weekend, and I look forward to a great week before spring break!

Bonjour tout le monde!
Just letting you know that there will be a brief French quiz this upcoming Monday. In preparation, your student should study the following vocabulary:
jouer à la marelle: playing hopscotch
jouer au ballon: playing ball
jouer à cache-cache:playing hide-and-seek
jouer aux billes:playing marbles
sauter à la corde:jumping rope
lire sur un banc: reading a book on a bench
There will be a word bank, so your student should be able to recognize these words, but does not need to be able to spell them from memory.
I hope this finds everyone having a lovely week!
A bientôt!
