Les Nouvelles d'avril 2014

Bonjour y'all!

A few reminders and updates:

French 1 is currently working in Chapter 6 with food and cafe vocabulary.  We are also learning tons of new verbs and conjugations.  Please remind your children to keep up with these verbs!  Most of the students have quizlet accounts with verbs and adjectives that they have created notecards for...does your child have quizlet on their phone? or device?  It's a very handy tool!  Also, students may go to the class blog and use the review slides for this chapter for quick study.  They will have a vocab quiz Wednesday and possibly and grammar quiz Friday.    The test for Chapter 6 is scheduled for Tuesday, May 6th.

French 2 is coming along great with the C'est Moi project.  This has been an experiment for me this year.  Instead of starting brand new books at the end of the year, I decided to try to incorporate all that they have learned in the red books into one giant project.  They have been using all their skills- listening, reading, writing and speaking.  Tomorrow we will have presentations, all in French, from each student.  I'm so excited to see how far each student has come.  We will finish the week with a video series that we started before Spring Break.  Next week, we will begin a new project.

French 3 is working in Chapter 6 with the past tense and imperfect....It's been a long road!  But, we are finally getting it.  This week, we will be working on the comparative.  Pfeiffer will be teaching the 6th grade Tuesday of this week and next week.  Jenna will follow up the next 2 weeks.  Seniors are almost done.....I can't believe it!  Someone pass the tissues!

DEVICE DAY WAS A HUGE SUCCESS.  ALL CLASSES HAVE BEEN WORKING IN GOOGLE DOCS AND WITH GOOGLE PRESENTATIONS.  THIS HAS BEEN AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR BOTH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.  ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT IT!

REAL WORLD IS DUE NEXT THURSDAY MAY 1ST!  FOOD IS DUE MAY 2ND ON FRIDAY.
