Grade 5 Guess Who in French

Today we played Guess Who in French. It's a guessing game where we try to figure out who our partner has chosen by asking yes or no questions about the way they look. It helped us practice the verb Avoir, turning statements into questions, and adjectives. Here's a lesson on TES for any Language teachers who would like to use this in their classes. You'll have to create a free account first. I printed out 15 copies of the 4th slide for my class and lamenated them. We wrote down all the necessary vocabulary and practiced it the class before we played. If you can't get the lesson through the link just google the phrase "guess who in french" and click the TES link.

Grade 4 Immersion / STEM Lesson

The fourth grade will be working on a Science based French immersion lesson. Today we created newspaper pots for our seeds and planted lettuce, tomatoes, peas, and poppies. We will be watching closely for signs of "la vie" and when we spot something we will record our findings in French!

La Francophonie!!

This week the middle school hosted a wonderful exposition of the many French speaking countries around the globe. The girls worked for weeks both independently and with their partners to gather information and create a display to represent the country of their choice. We really enjoyed exploring the diversity of the people and landscapes of the French speaking world!
