National French Week celebrations were fun for all, and learning cultural tidbits was easy for students in all grades. We look forward to next November!
SECOND GRADE:
The students continue to sing the alphabet with glee, and they are becoming quite adept at giving the days and dates in French. The color unit was very successful.
We are now telling the colors and other characteristics of the farm animals we have been studying. As we complete this unit, we will enjoy readings about farm animals and watch a familiar fairy tale involving pigs and a wolf. Our short month of December will focus on parts of the body and will culminate with comparisons of Christmas celebrations here and in France.
A blessed holiday season to all!
THIRD GRADE:
It was a true pleasure to watch and listen to the third grade students as they recited their prepared conversations incorporating basic greetings. Upon completion of this effort, we undertook a brief unit on wild animals.
During the abbreviated month of December the students will be reviewing parts of the body and learning vocabulary words for several new body parts. It is always fun to reinforce the learning via "Jacques a dit..." games. If time allows we will also do a little music to review and to enjoy sing-alongs. Finally, the students will receive information about Christmas celebrations in France and will compare and contrast with their own experiences here.
Best wishes for a happy and holy Christmas season!
SIXTH GRADE Language Arts Enrichment:
Great work with subject, object, and possessive pronouns! The quizzes were nearly perfect each time.
Having just studied intensive and reflexive pronouns, we are now ready to tackle demonstrative, interrogative, and indefinite pronouns. We will do a brief review before the pronoun unit test on Thursday, Dec. 17. The emphasis will be on the more difficult areas such as differentiating between situations requiring a subject or an object pronoun and the agreement of verbs with indefinite pronouns.
PLEASE NOTE: Any student who wishes to ask questions, review material, or receive special assistance is welcome to come to my room early Tuesday or Thursday mornings any time after 7:15, especially in preparation for the unit test.
Blessings to all families during this very special time of year!
