The French Gazette
Kindergarten - October 2015
Bonjour!
Kindergarten students are off to a wonderful start in French this year! I meet with each class twice a week for 25 minutes. During that time we play games, sing, and work together using a blend of hands-on tools 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 introduce ourselves and how to ask and respond to simple conversation questions, such as "How are you?" and "What is your name?" We are also reviewing colors, numbers (1-20), and the days of the week. This month, as well as continuing to work on the themes mentioned above, we will be focusing on school supplies, classroom objects, common directions in French. Additionally, we will start to explore fruits and vegetables in French and practice describing them by size, shape, and color.
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,
