Bonne fête de l'Action de Grâces! Happy Thanksgiving!

Merci Jésus pour...
...les barres à grimper!


 ...les balançoires!


 ...un ballon de football!


 ...des amis formidables!


...et pour notre école fantastique!

We have so much to thank the Lord Jesus for on this Thanksgiving. You can see more pictures posted on our French bulletin board beside the gym doors.

Perhaps you came across some words you did not know beneath the pictures above. As we begin our new units in French class, we have been learning some comprehension strategies to help us with the new vocabulary and structures we encounter:
  • "regarder les images". Look at pictures to give us clues for meaning.
  • "chercher les mots amis." Search for "word-friends" which are words that are similar in French and in English.  An example would be the word "âge", which means "age" in English.
  • "chercher les mots familiers".  Look for familiar words, which will help us with the overall meaning of a sentence or phrase.
We will be adding more strategies as the year progresses!

Please remember that French Scholastic book orders are due Friday, October 17.

Bonne fête de l'Action de Grâces!

Mme Christensen
