Bonjour! 

What an awesome day!   ☺

FSF 1P - Today, students executed their directions scavenger hunt that they created themselves! Great job! I think we all had a good time. Then, to begin our new unit, we did a KWL chart to identify what we already know, what we want to know and what we have learned ( for later ) about food in French and in French culture.  Students received a new vocab list. La nourriture, here we come! Please remember tomorrow is a lab day and you'll need your écouteurs. 

FSF 1D - Students had a special day in the auditorium pour regarder a fun performance. We then played a fun geography game in English and in French as we prepare for our next unit. Tomorrow you will be critiquing an establishment in our city for a written mark. To prepare, you can choose your place tonight and think about what you can say about it (that will describe why it earns the amount of stars you give it).  Please be sure to do yesterday's homework on the blog if you haven't yet. 


FEF 1D- Notre réunion de Petit Nicolas!!!! Fantastique!! Tomorrow we do our video logs (vlogs). If you haven't met requirements yet, please be sure to be prepared tomorrow!

FSF 1P - We had the idea to create a scavenger hunt using the school, like we did with our city-in-the-classroom idea. So we did! Students are working on a written project where they will direct other students to another spot in the school. We did two listening activities for practice and differentiated our driving environments with that of France.  Mme was also la banque today and students cashed in for bonbons. Good work everyone. 

FSF 1D - Today we did a listening activity for marks. Students also cashed in their billets for bonbons! Students listened and identified new vocab words based on what they had been learning about. They identified cultural differences, and demonstrated good listening skills for new information.  Tomorrow is our speaking task, and we are starting a new concept. 

FEF 1D - Nous avons écrit le test de compréhension de Petit Nicolas. Bien fait!!

le 25 avril

FSF 1P - Today we transformed our room into a city. Students were blindfolded and had to read a clue to themselves, direct their classmate to the appropriate place using correct direction vocabulary and then peer assess to see if they went to the right building. Great pronunciation!! We had a good time. We also compared some buildings, read a map of our community and directed ourselves to amenities we like to visit and are useful. 

FSF 1D - Today students talked about making a place a superlative using "meilleur" and "meilleur que". We did a sondage (survey) where we spoke to others and took note of what amenity (of the students choix) was the favourite of their classmates. Students are speaking to gather information and to compare amenities in our community to prepare for our written critique on Friday that will be for marks. Students played four corners today to talk about why they thought an amenity was the best ; Gino's est la meilleure pizzeria parce que c'est proche, for example. 
We directed each other on maps using our direction vocabulary.  All of this is in order to so a one-on-one speaking task with Mme for marks THIS WEDNESDAY.

FEF 1D - Today, we our vocabulary grew when trying to advise, share opinions, compare opinions and demonstrate we have recognized the opinions of others. We create our own personalized lists of expressions used to introduce ideas, and reinforce the ideas of others. We created more situations upon which our next speaking task will be based (Petit Nicolas panel ; Where are they now? ) happening on THURSDAY. Students are encouraged to practice these situations and be sure to incorporate new expressions in their dialogues. The situations are posted on elearning. 
Petit Nicolas reading comprehension test tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!! A demain!!!

Bonjour!

Here is what we did in a nutshell and reminders for tomorrow;

FSF 1P - we created a list of ways we can ask for help en français. We used a template to create a short dialogue and direct someone on a map to a specific place. We followed directions and followed them correctly using what we know about direction words to end up at the correct building.
PLEASE BRING YOUR EARPHONES FOR YOUR LISTENING ACTIVITY FOR MARKS TOMORROW.

FSF 1D - We matched up English expressions with French expressions to encourage dialogue en français that problem solves and directs another student to a location. Students used a template to direct people. Some terms we listened to during an activity and used were;
Pour aller à la / au _________________ il faut...
tourner à droite, tourner à gauche, continuer tout droit, traverser, arrêter et voilà!!!

FEF 1D - Nous avons completé une exercice d'écoute pour les notes aujourd'hui   /30. 

Nous sommes au labo demain. Apportez vos écouteurs!!
