Est-ce que tu savais... ? (Did you know...?)

The way to say "jinks" (or "jinx") in French is "chips!" Then the rule is, the other person can't talk until someone says their name!

Try it in class sometime! :)

France Trip Summer 2012

Bonjour!

I've been getting a lot of enquiries about the possibility of a trip to France for the students. There *is* a trip being planned at the moment! The trip is to Paris, Loire Valley (château country), Normandy/D-Day beaches and then the final two days in Lucerne, Switzerland. We will leave May 29, 2012 and return June 8th. The cost is approximate $3700 all-inclusive (except lunches, tips and any souvenirs.)

I am sending home letters about an upcoming informational meeting for parents that will be this Monday, Oct. 3rd at 6pm in my room (Portable 1B). Please fill out this form to RSVP for the meeting by this Friday, Sept. 30th.

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you on Monday hopefully!

P.S. Here is a link if you would like to check out the itinerary:

6th grade (year long)

We are finishing our vocabulary for the classroom on Tuesday. We will have an easy vocabulary quiz (just recognition! No spelling!) Make sure you study the flash cards we made on Friday. :) We will also be learning the French alphabet this week and how to spell in French!

*Note- we have Study Skills in all sixth grade classes on Friday, so we will not be doing anything French-related that day!

7th grade French- 8/29- 9/2

Bonjour!

We are continuing our review of unit 1 material this week. We are focusing on lesson 2- people and family. I have our unit 1 review quiz set for this Friday. If you will be out of school due to the holiday, you can arrange to make up the quiz next week!
