Dear Parents and Guardians,

Quarter 1 is over!

Thank you so much for coming to meet with us during conference time.

Here are some insights about the lessons in all grades:

2^nd Grade:

We learned and practiced the commands of French class, some action verbs related to school, the days of the week, the colors and extended our counting until 20 with an emphasis on writing all numbers in letters also.  We did associate all numbers with a designated color. So, let’s keep the practice of all numbers at home too!

3^rd Grade:

We learned all commands of French class. We reviewed the house rapidly and went directly to Leo’s bedroom and have learned to name all its objects. We drew our siblings and wrote a paragraph to introduce them. We kept counting till 30 and made an effort to write all numbers in letters also. So, let’s consolidate those numbers at home too!

4^th – 5^th Grade:

We learned all commands of French class. We reviewed the greetings, days of the week, the months of the year (cultural event related to every month) discovered the seasons, their duration and all the weather related to it. We are learning all elements of the date to be able to write the date correctly and determine the day, the month and the season with any given date. We wrote the address of the school in French and made an effort to write personal address in regard of the French language.

5^th Grade started learning about the city and all the places we can go to!

Et chez vous! … And at home!

Your child’s notebook is your guide to check the learning happening in every grade. Please partner with me and ask your student to bring their French notebook home to practice and count.

Yes, I encourage all students to review their vocabulary daily, repeat the words 5-10 minutes and listen to the French CD “les Loustics” often. Also,Google/translate can be a big help if you have a doubt on a pronunciation. Have fun with the learning and please reach out if you have any question or concern:
