French Friday and some crafts!

This is our second "French Friday"!  The French version of O Canada is played Friday morning.  After the Lord's Prayer, one student (chosen in a draw) gets to announce the date and weather, en français of course! 

Bravo!

 

 

This week in all classes we have busy with reading evaluations.  It's also a good time for some Christmas crafts while I listen to individuals read from their journal entries.

 

 

 

Some students made a "crèche" or manger scene to decorate their Christmas tree at home.  A manger is where cattle eat their hay and it is the place where the Baby Jesus was placed when he was born.  In French, "manger" is also a word; it is a verb, meaning "to eat". 

 

 

 Other students put together "une Tour Eiffel".  Our Eiffel Towers are decked out in true Christmas form, with the music of "Il est né, le divin Enfant" on the exterior!  Here is the carol:

 

 

 

 

The "Word of the Week" will be back in January.   We look forward to lots of Christmas activities this coming week.   Bonne fin de semaine!
