7th Grade à la Mode!

7th graders showed off their knowledge of clothing and colors with a fashion show last week. They all prepared written scripts describing their outfit, then a classmate read the script while they sashayed across the stage. As you can see, they (well, most of them;) thoroughly enjoyed entertaining their audience. The rest of 7th grade and Ms. Scalet were in attendance for the big show! 

And while most of us know the term "à la mode" to mean "add ice cream to my pie", in French it means "to be in fashion, or fashionable" Ooo la la!!

Joyeux Halloween!

French students celebrated Halloween by creating "les squelettes", Skeletons, from Q-tips and identified some body parts. We sang the song "Tête, Epaules, Genoux et Pieds" (Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes)

We also learned different words in French related to Halloween by playing French Halloween Lotto!

Couleur par Numéro

5th grade French students discovered unique hidden images by coloring by number. We reinforced learning of our new color words like, rouge=red, 

vert=green, violet=purple, and many more!

Nous mangeons au café!

As we wrapped up our chapter on French cafés and foods this week, the students have been working on creating their own cafés and menus using our vocabulary. We also role played being in the café and ordering off each other's menus. Some students brought food items from their menu to share!

Madame Frisillo even tried her hand at making crêpes...mmmmm, Nutellea :)

Bon Appétit!

Bienvenue! Welcome back!

8th Graders Create Original Video

Using a recent viral video as their inspiration, Jacob and Vivi recorded and edited a video. They changed their lyrics into French and included them as subtitles in the video.

French Verbs Ending in -ER : "The Boot"

Students in 6th grade French are learning to conjugate present tense regular verbs ending in -ER. To help them remember that the je, tu, il/elle/on and ils/elles forms are all pronounced the same, we practiced drawing them in the form of a boot. 

Bonne Année à tous!!

Happy New Year to all!
