Joyeux Halloween!

         

 Joyeux Halloween à tous!
Today, we learned about body parts with the help of the song "Tête, Epaules, Genoux et Pieds(Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes)", then created some skeletons using our new vocabulary!

Les jours de la semaine/the days of the week song!

Here is the link a fun song we listened to in class today to help remember the French names for the days of the week. It is set to the Flintstones theme song ;)

5th Grade French Scavenges for Information

5th grade French class spent some time hunting around our classroom searching for French words. Many of our classroom items and objects are labeled in French and we hunted them down and guessed their English meanings!

6th Grade French Working Together

The 6th grade French class has gained some new friends this year! Today, we paired up last year's students with our new students to work on French greetings and the Our Father in French. They are working together so well and I am proud of all of them!

Bienvenue à l'école! Welcome back to school!

Le Grand Concours/National French Exam

All students in 7th and 8th grade French took Le Grand Concours, or the National French Contest, in late March. National results were revealed last week and Vivi S. scored at the Silver Level, or in the 85th percentile compared with over 20,000 students taking the test! Vicki L. scored at the Bronze level, in the 75th percentile. Amy G, and Hannah O. received the Mention d'Honneur, scoring in the 65th percentile. The test was taken in an online format with listening comprehension, reading comprehension, vocabulary and grammar sections. Félicitations à tous!!

Commands Using l'impératif

8th grade French students are learning to give commands in French using l'impératif (the imperative). Today we acted out different commands in class and they tried to guess what command their classmate was giving.

Attendons nos amis ((Let's)Wait for our friends)
Vicki L and Hannah O

Ouvre la porte (Open the door)
Claire B

Descendez les escaliers (Go down the stairs)
Amy G

Mangeons un croque-monsieur ((Let's) Eat a grilled ham and cheese)
Amy G and Hannah O

And a very dramatic--Tombons les escaliers
Carson J

(Let's) Fall down the stairs  ;)

Passé Composé Rap

7th grade French is learning about the past tense of verbs in the tense of passé composé, using the helping verb être(to be). This is a rap video we have watched in class to help them remember which verbs use être for the passé composé, and the different past participles. It is fun and a bit silly, but helps with memorization!
