Le blog de Français 7

The French Club collected donations from students and faculty outside the cafeteria as well as friends and family outside of school, all to be given to UNICEF, to benefit the children of Haiti.  Thanks to the generous contributions of French Club members, students, parents, faculty, and community members, we raised over $500 !  This wouldn't have been possible without the help of parents, teachers, and students, who sat outside the cafeteria asking folks for donations.  Your help is much appreciated!  Below are some photos of students who participated in the fundraiser.

Our second French club meeting was a success!  First we introduced our officers.  Pictured from left to right are our treasurer, our secretary, our vice president, and our president.  Not pictured is our historian.  Names are kept anonymous on the blog, but I'm sure you can recognize your classmates! Next we organized a fundraiser to benefit the children of Haiti.  Haiti is a French-speaking country in the Caribbean that had a devastating earthquake in 2010, and the people of Haiti are still looking for our support to help rebuild.  If you are interested in making a donation, please stop by and see us outside the cafeteria during lunch periods Thursday, November 14 and Friday, November 15.

Look at all these cool colors drawings!                    

We concluded National French Week today by sampling foods from all over the French speaking world today.  Some of the things students brought in were croissants, choco fondant, meringues, madeleines, nutella, baguette bread, blueberry clafoutis, and Brie cheese.    

Look at these great posters on why to learn French!        

Look at these great imaginary French text message conversations made by students using iFakeText, and using real texting expressions.       That's not a typo, Darth Vader is known as Dark Vador in French because the "th" in Darth is impossible for French speakers to pronounce.    

Look at these wonderful mini-posters!  Can you guess who the person is in each one?                

French Club had its first meeting of the year on Friday, and it was a huge success!  Over 40 students in grades 6-8 came to learn about our  club.  Students enjoyed meringues, croissants, and Perrier water, and participated in a trivia contest. If you couldn't make it, be sure to attend our next meeting on Friday, November 8!

You may skip any 3 equations on your next homework assignment if you post at least two items to the wallwisher.  Start or finish an equation using the French words for the numbers.  Follow my model. Don't forget to leave your initials and period! Created with Padlet
