Salut à tous et à toutes!!

Here you are reading my very first blog EVER. I hope this website helps you keep yourself aware of homework, the exciting things we are up to in French class, and of what's going on in the world of Mme Bell.

So, the first week of 09-10 has come and passed, and it was one of the best first weeks I've had as a teacher. My students are bright, smiling, anxious and very mature grade 9s. I hope the classes are feeling good about the beginning of their secondary school career!

Just to let it be known, I will be available anytime during lunch hour, as long as it is arranged beforehand. I am always at school early, and in between my office and my classroom, so please don't hesitate to say hello or to ask a question when you need answers.

This week, we will be reviewing concepts that may have been touched on in previous years, so that all students will begin Grade 9 French on the most level playing field possible.

For FSF 1P classes, the week of Sept 14 will be focused on being able to identify, understand and respond to questions, as well as present tense verbs and their conjugations. They will have an upcoming review test early next week.

For FSF 1D students, the week of Sept 14 will be spent reviewing and understanding present tense conjugations, the futur proche, asking and responding to questions and important expressions in French that we can use consistently in the classroom. There will be a review quiz on Friday Sept 18. Students can look forward to creating an assignment to talk all about themselves in the near future. We will be speaking and listening more in class as soon as we become experts on what we've been reviewing. I'm looking forward to hearing your voices more often, especially with a French accent =p


Merci beaucoup for reading! Je prevois une semestre fantastique!
