Le blog de Français 7

Our first French Club meeting was held Friday afternoon! We had a great turn out, and we enjoyed some delicious French treats from some generous parents! We also discussed officer duties and plans for the year. See you next month!

Étudiez les nombres ici !

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

  The whiteboards recently made their first of MANY appearances this year!  We reviewed vocabulary by writing down expressions and drawing something that represents it.  Anytime we can make a visual association, we will remember the words better! In other news, today we practiced numbers using good old playing cards.  We will probably see these again in the future as well!  

I've received some more great vocabulary assignments that I'd like to share with you! Check out these awesome PowToons from Renée, Période 9!  Although it's not listed on your sheet, this would be another acceptable way to complete your vocabulary assignments. 

Watch the video below to see how you can use Quizlet to study French vocabulary. Remember, please hand me a piece of paper (in La Poste) with your Quizlet username.  You should print out the page of your set of flashcards for any vocab. assignment you wish to get credit for.  If you would prefer, you can send me a message through Edline with a link to your flashcard set's page (when you are on the set's page, it has a unique URL that you can copy and paste into an email).

Add a photo of a celebrity and ask for his/her name in French or answer a question. Follow my model! If you complete one of those two things, you may skip and 2 questions at the bottom of your homework. Created with Padlet

Now that I have some permission slips in, here are some photos from the first days of school! In these photos, students are introducing themselves in French and learning each other's names. NOTE:  If you're looking for the video and board to post on, keep scrolling!!  

NOTE : This post contains a YouTube video. I have approved this video for the blog, but if you choose to click out and leave the blog, you will be viewing content that I have not pre-approved. Watch the video we watched in class again, then post a reason to learn French below! Post a sticky in the wall below to earn one extra point on your homework.  It must not have been previously used!  For your name, put your initials and period (example J.S. P1) You can click here to view the wall nice and large! Created with Padlet

Bonjour!  If you are a new student visiting this page, welcome to the exciting world of French!  This year you will begin your study of one of the world's most useful languages and learn about the many cultures of French-speaking countries. Have a look through earlier posts to see some of the activities we have done in previous years.  We will do many of those activities in class this year. Look at the words above and see how many you can recognize!  Some are French-speaking countries and cities, some are commonly used words in class, and others are types of activities we will do. Just for fun, have a look at this stop-motion video of your classroom being set up! I'm looking forward to a great year with you! -Mlle (Ms. Decker...also known as Mademoiselle or Mlle!)

I was very impressed with the commercials you made for French-speaking countries and territories.  Here are some highlights:  

What a day we had today!  The owners of Ravenous came in today to tell us about the history of crêpes, how they are made, and of course to serve us crêpes.  Here are a few photos that show how much fun was had by all. Thank you to M. Zuka, Mme Raymond, M. Oborne, and all the parent volunteers! Mr. Piccirillo even joined in on the fun 5th period!

Regardez les poèmes pour les profs !
