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!
A plus,

K-2 French Update Q3 Week 10
Bonjour tout le monde!
Kindergarten:
Since I was out sick on Friday, we will be starting the fruit vocabulary mentioned last week this week. Below, I have attached the link to a video that might be helpful to play with your student in order to reinforce the vocabulary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brDdfUAkfTs&list=PLzvm3N3P7TcqnRuGLuffXrchdLIfkoIcR&index=14
1st Grade:
We will be starting a unit on the household this week, specifically about different places where you can live. Vocabulary for this will be posted next week.
2nd Grade:
I would like to remind everyone that tomorrow's quiz will be brief and will only cover the vocabulary from the past unit. That can be found on my previous post about the 2nd grade French quiz. On Wednesday, we will start the last new lesson of the quarter about places where you can live and the house in general.
I hope this finds everyone doing well, and please feel free to reach out to me with any questions at gruchames@archwaylincoln.org!

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

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!

K-2 French Update Week 7 (Q3)
Bonjour tout le monde!
I hope everybody is enjoying the warmer weather as we quickly approach the end of the third quarter. It is hard to believe just how much time has gone by so fast!
Kindergarten:
This last week, we worked on solidifying the home and family vocabulary, and we will continue to work with this through next week. After that, we will be introducing food vocabulary, leading into a unit on expressing preferences toward the end of the year.
1st Grade:
We will wrap up the lesson on school activities this week, and then move into vocabulary for recreational activities. Vocabulary for the new lesson will be listed on next week's blog post.
2nd Grade:
We will conclude our study of classroom activities with a test on Monday, and then move into a unit on vocabulary for recreational activities. The test will cover the verbs from the past two lessons (the verbs having to do with classroom activities), changing un/une/des or le/la/les into mon/ma/mes, and the conjugation of avoir.
Please feel free to reach out to me at gruchames@archwaylincoln.org with any additional questions, and I hope everyone has a lovely week!
