Bonjour, bonjour!

Au jour'd hui, on passe une examen!  Yay!!

Après, vocabulaire, chapitre dix!

Vous avez des devoirs cette semaine...

1. Apprendre par coeur la vocabulaire.  :)
2. REFAIRE LES EXAMENS CH. NEUF!  Ça vous donne un grand parti de la marque pour le cours!  :)  Il vous doit faire attention comment écrire les mots!  Souvenez-vous des accents, aussi.  :)
3. Faire de la révision sur AVOIR!  Vous allez voir que AVOIR est TRÈS IMPORTANT pour le passé composé!
4. Réviser les verbes nouveaux de chapitre dix.  Ces verbes ne vont pas être sur le quiz vocabulaire, mais je me suis rendu compte que nous n'avons pas assez de temps sur les verbes en classe, alors la préparation chez-vous est terriblement important.  :)

We've missed a few of these as we've done a few more simple classes!  Do you love Petit Nicholas??

Let's get back into the groove with Chapitre Sept!

En Classe!

• Nous avons fini avec la lecture, Le Petit Nicholas
• Avec le temps extra, nous avons lu La Lecture Supplémentaire tout ensemble.

Les Devoirs!

• If we don't finish Lecture Supplémentaire in class, please finish answering the questions to both readings at home.
• Questions de Vocabulaire. These are a handful of sentences from the book I use to help you write out sentences, to think about Chapitre Six Vocabulaire, and to review verbs.  It should be pretty easy!!
• Faire, Pouvoir, Vouloir.  Again, it's a review!  It should be very easy!  If it's NOT easy to do, without help, you need to take some time and really study.  These verbs are super important.  :)
• Chapitre Sept Vocabulaire.  Translate the vocabulary for Chapitre Sept, comme d'habitude.  :)  Be ready and comfortable with the different articles of clothing for next week, especially.
• Les Couleurs packet.  It has colors and articles of clothing that the book doesn't necessarily cover.  :)

If you need help with verbs, try these videos!

It's cheesy, but here's a FAIRE song:

Another cheesy video for avoir; être; faire; aller:


I LOVE this one!!!



Pretty sure you NEED to watch this ALLER video:



For colors, this is cute... I'm going to use this with my cute French Ia students!


Oh, but we're not through!!
POUVOIR!!
VOUS POUVEZ REGARDER CET VIDÉO!



VOULOIR!  Vous êtes chanseuses!




Les couleurs, vous demandez?  On les a!!

• Talk BRIEFLY about negation in French.  :)  Just enough to whet your appetite for homework!  :)
• Play Sentence Piecing Game together!

• To practice avoir select the Drag and Drop game at this site.  :)  If you need to, finish your peek-a-book verb chart.  :)
• Practice Chapiter Four vocabulary by doing this self-test.
• Learn computer pieces.  :)  Use this online dictionary to look up additional words and phrases!  Then use the next page to play a matching game.  :)
• Review être.  :)
• Study negation in French on YouTube.  Then do the worksheet.  :)
• Watch THIS VIDEO on the difference between French in France vs. Haitian Creole.  :)
• HALLOWEEN Listening Activity! Use worksheet to fill in the blanks!  :)

En Classe: 12 octobre 2016

Well, hello, my peeps!  :)

Today, we're going to:

• Turn in homework, go over questions
• Review aloud: Numbers (0-60), Alphabet
• Go over avoir!  :)
• Look at POSSESSIVES!
• Go over vocabulary (using the fortune tellers- they look great!!)

Homework!

• Review information from class today- especially avoir and vocabulaire.
• La famille.  You know the routine- if you want to go the creative route, color, cut, paste!  Either way, please make sure you write in the translation for the word French --> English.  Page 24, please try to fill in the French word from memory- correct your own work from the previous pages!
• Write five unique sentences using avoir + other vocabulaire from previous chapitres.
• Possessives worksheet.  The answer key is attached, so self-correct.  Feel free to be creative and color/cut/paste the sentences with images into your cahiers.  :)
• Crossword- practice with Les matières!  :)  This should help you with two things... first, pay attention if the word is masculine or feminine... and then make sure you're focused on spelling!

En Classe: 5 octobre

Look, WINSTON!  All in English, just for you!!  :D

GIRLS!  I'm sure you did this, but a reminder to bring back the COOTIE CATCHERS!  :)  If we have time after the (spoiler alert) test, checking the test, we'll start to play with vocabulary as a class.  :)  We'll also attempt to make a verbal SENTENCE as we go.  ;)

This week, we are testing.  :)  Basically, the best thing you could do is study everything in your cahiers.  It will help if you take some time to write sentences with verbs.  Remember that I said that NUMBERS are not studied enough!

After today's test, we're MOVING ON!  :)  Chapitre Quatre is around the corner and waiting!  We're going to jump right in with HOMEWORK!  :)

• "La maison" packet.  Go through and translate what the item is.  Color, if desired (Darcy!), and either cut'n'paste (Darcy!) the graphic, name, translation into your cahier, or slap some glue on and fold it in half into your cahier (Winston!).  :)  In the drawing section, you can do your OWN drawing, you can SKIP the drawing, or you can find some clipart to glue in... But you DO need to for sure do the translations...  without looking, if possible!
• "AVOIR!"  Here's what to fill in:
  
  Avoir = to have
  j'AI
  tu AS
  il, elle, on A
  nous AVONS
  vous AVEZ
  ils, elles ONT
• I am GIVING YOU your ENTIRE Chapitre Quatre Vocabulaire sheet!  It's getting real, guys! :)  Please do all of the translations for: Identifying the rooms of a house, Talking about a home and the neighborhood, and Other useful words and expressions.  We're breaking this huge list in half, and we'll hit Identifying family members and Talking about family affairs or events next week.  If you can help yourself, refrain from jumping ahead!  But I do understand and empathize with a good compulsion, so if you have to, you have to.  :)

That's it!  Your task has been set before you!  Do good work, my intrepid poulets!
