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!

In Class: 31 August 2016!

In class, we...

... reviewed je, tu, il, elle, on, nous, vous, ils, elles ...
... took two quizzes: être, aller ...
... practiced the alphabet and numbers ...
... practiced telling time (quelle heure est-il?) ...

HOMEWORK - Pick one activity for each of the five days.  Please don't try to get this all done in one day unless you absolutely must.  These activities are intended to keep information fresh in your mind- don't rob yourself of that opportunity.  :)

1) Worksheet - Telling time in French crossword.  :)  I included the answer key stapled on...  Struggle through and do everything you can!  Girls, work independently initially, then if you want to collaborate to get the answers before opening the answer key, great!  Take the opportunity to use the answer key to LEARN!  :)  If you have something you just don't get, bring it to class next week.

2) Take the feedback from your être and aller quizzes and review them, memorize them!  :)  You need this knowledge because we'll be adding in -er verbs (next week?)

3) Go to THIS YOUTUBE WEBSITE and practice greetings in French.  If you want extra help, GO TO THIS SONG.  :)

4) Practice your adjectives you learned in class.  Pay close attention to masculine/feminine/plural, and note how that affects the adjective!  :)

Next week, we hope to...
... review alphabet ...
... review telling time ...
... practice greetings ...
... learn -er verbs ...
... talked about people using adjectives and être ...
... copy and paste chapitre trois vocabulaire ...
... practice with "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" and chapitre trois vocabulaire ...
... practice conjugating ch. 3 -er verbs ...
