ATTN : DAY1

DAY1- We have been practicing Jouer à/de, Faire de. I did tell you I am going to quiz you on it, but that quiz will not be tomorrow, Nov 30th. We need to do more practice. I have had a few students ask me about it today. Please tell your friends to check the website.

Tomorrow we will be practicing how to order crêpes if you happen to stop by the crêpe stand at lunch or between classes (a French food truck will be set up by the gym Thursday Dec 1st.) This is also useful knowledge in general! Knowing how to order something in French!

We will then review Jouer à/de, Faire de.

À demain,
Mlle Powell

Crêpes - le 1 décembre!

- We practiced some common words/expressions to both introduce yourself to someone new, and phrases to use in the classroom. I had a few of your introduce yourselves to the class. A lot of this was review! We will be adding words and phrases to this list as we go along.

- We went over a new grammar point, that you saw in the conversation piece we had. Notes below!  





à+le = au
à+la = à la
à+les = aux

de+le = du
de+la = de la
de+l’ = de l’ (vowel)

Behaviour and Work Habits

This list of 13 work habits/behaviour goals is a combination of what you all said you wanted to work on in your interims. We will be doing this for the month of November (and possibly beyond!)

 It is important to be honest in your self-reflections: acknowledge what went well and set goals! 

The sheet with the emojis should stay in your binder- you are encouraged to look at this at the beginning of class. I will hand out the second self-assessment sheet at the end of every class and have you hand it in to me.
