Février à mars…

Bonjour mes amis et familles !

I’m back finally with an update on our curriculae and trajectories headed forward from February into March. Both our Kindergarteners and our 1^st Graders have been hard at work preparing for Fine Arts and French Night, and upon their mastery of our current lessons. Here’s where we are:

1^st Grade has begun their second unit, “Vive l’école !”, and is making great progress on their class materials (pencil, eraser, ruler, etc.) and descriptions of them. Along with that, we have added on two more colors (pink and brown) and have been working on full sentence writing using them. Our workbook work has grown in scope and difficulty, and I am incredibly proud of their effort. We aim to finish the second unit by the end of the year, rounding out our study with expressions of politesse, the actions, and likes and dislikes.

Kindergarten is also working on the objects of school, including both the materials we put to use in class and the furniture and features of the classroom. Their recent work on simple actions and alphabet structure has been stunning to watch, and we intend to keep up with the huge body of knowledge we have accrued in our time together. After we finish working with the school, we will turn to the home and parts of the house, the members of the family, and the days and months. These will fill in the rest of our year and will keep us lively and engaged in our French work.

Please join us this coming April for Fine Arts and French Night. We will be featuring lovely presentations by the Art classes and clubs, live poetry courtesy of the French club, and videotaped music performances by all our French classes. The date to save is April 10, 2019. We will send out more information after the break, as the time approaches.

Merci, et passez des printemps magnifiques !
