The French Gazette
Prekindergarten- October 2015
Bonjour!
Students in PK3 and PK4 are off to a wonderful start in French this year! I meet with each class twice a week for 20 minutes. During that time we play games, sing, and work together using a blend of hands-on manipulatives and technology to learn new vocabulary and practice speaking in the target language. This newsletter will be delivered to your inbox once a month with photos, sound clips, and vocabulary words to show you what we're learning in the French room.
For the past several weeks, we have been learning how to greet each other, introduce ourselves, and how to ask and respond to simple conversation questions such as "How are you? and "What is your name? We are learning to express how we feel, identify colors, and count up to 10 in PK3, and up to 15 in PK4. This month, we will continue to review the vocabulary themes mentioned above, and focus on body parts, shapes and sizes, fruit, and verbs.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. I have so enjoyed getting to know your children these past several weeks and I look forward to continuing to explore the French language and culture with them throughout the year!
Merci,
