As I typed the date I could hardly believe that we have reached the end of the month. After the first week of June I won't be posting a new blog but will still send a weekly email. This week we are continuing our unit on les animaux (animals).
Focus questions for this week are: Quest-ce que ton animal de compagnie fait? What does your animal do? Qu'est-ce que tu dois faire pour prendres soins de ton animal? What do you need to do to take care of your animal? Quel animal sauvage est-ce que tu aimes? What wild animal do you like? Quel animal sauvage est-ce que tu aimes et pourquoi? What wild animal do you like and why? Also noteworthy this week I will be starting my reading assessments. Therefore, if your child is going to be absent please let me know asap so that I can be sure to get their assessment completed before report cards are due. Thank you in advance for your help with this :) Have a great weekend and a great week ahead! Katelyn Pettigrew

Happy Long weekend!
This week being short our focus will be finishing up the La musique unit through finishing research projects on their favourite singer(chanteur/chanteuse) or band (group musicale) and then they will be presenting them. They will also be finishing up their partner collaborative stories as well. Our focus for oral language this week will be to start talking about our next unit Les animaux domestiques (Pets). A few of the phrases we may get to this week include: Est-ce que tu as un animal domestiques? Do you have a pet? Quel est ton animal domestiques prefere? What is your favourite pet? Quel sont les traits physiques de ton animal domestiques? What are the physical characteristics of your animal? Quel sont les qualites de ton animal? What are the personality qualities of your animal? I hope everyone has a safe and happy long weekend! Katelyn Pettigrew Happy Weekend and Mother's day as well,
This week flew by and I am sure the coming weeks will as well. Over the course of this week we will be working on finishing up our unit La musique with researching our favourite singers or musical groups. Students will also be presenting their video creation for a french song we have done in class. The questions we are working on this week include: Qui est ton chanteur/chanteuse prefere? Who is your favourite singer? Quel est ton groupe musical prefere? What is your favourite musical group? Pourquoi est-ce que tu aimes chanteur/groupe musicale? Why do you like that singer or musical group? Quel genre de musique est-ce que ta famille aime? What genre of music does your family like? Students have also signed up for a day in June to write and read a morning message in French. I will be reminding them the day or two leading up their chosen date. This project will be done either in school when time allows or at home (I have stressed that they need to do this independently as it will count as part of their class participation). Have a great weekend! Katelyn Pettigrew Another productive week set to begin. Unfortunately my laptop has died so I am not sure when this will get emailed out. I am hopeful many of you will still check back here each week.
This week we are continuing along with our new unit La musique. Our phrases we will be working on include: Est-ce que tu ecoutes souvent la musique sur YouTube? Do you often listen to music on YouTube? Quelle est ta chanson preferee ? What is your favourite song? Pourquoi est-ce que tu prefere cette chanson? Why do you like that song? This week we will also be starting a little project where students will be picking a french song we have done in class to great a little video of them acting and singing it. I did this for the first time with the other class and they really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to what they come up with. When I have a date for them to present I will let everyone know so that if you'd like to stop in and see their work you can. I will be out on Friday May 10th as it is my son's Welcome to Kindergarten day. If anything arises that day please phone the office. Have a great week! It is hard to believe that we are already approaching the beginning of May!
This week we will be finishing up Les sports projects and students will be presenting on Thursday (due to no school on Friday). The focus of our questions for this week will be our new unit la musique. I truly enjoy this unit and knowing that the class loves music makes it all the more fun. The focus questions for this week include: Pourquoi est-ce que tu aimes la musique....? Why do you like ______ music? Est-ce que tu ecoutes souvent de la musique sur Un IPod? Do you often listen to music on an IPod? Est-ce que tu regardes parfois des videoclips a la tele? Do you sometimes watch music videos on the TV? Have a great week! Katelyn Pettigrew Happy Easter weekend!
It seems amazing to me how much your children have accomplished in a few short months. We are now finished our last unit les vetements (clothing) and now we are finishing up our current unit les sports. I would really like them to come back to school April 23 with some information or books about their favourite sport to start their final project for this unit. (computers and technology can be a challenge so if they have information before hand it will help greatly!) I appreciate your helping at home with this, the information does not need to be in French :) This week we will be working on Qui est ton athlete prefere et pourquoi? Who is your favourite athlete and why? and we will also begin to work on the next unit La musique (Music) Est-ce que tu ecouter de la musique? Do you listen to music? Quel genre de musique est-ce que tu aimes ecouter? What genre of music do you like to listen to? I hope you all have a great Easter and a well deserved break! Enjoy the memories being made and all the best, Katelyn Pettigrew Happy Sunshine filled Friday!
This week we will be focusing on Quel est ton sport prefere? What is your favourite sport? Quel sport pratiques-tu et depuis quand? What sport do you practice and since when? Additionally, we will be starting a favouite sport project and finding out what the favourite sports are in our classroom. I am very much looking forward to a fun filled week with your children including introducing some fun new games :) Have a great weekend! Katelyn Pettigrew Happy Friday!
It is so hard to believe after such a wild winter and Wednesday this week that brighter, warmer days are coming. This week we will begin our new unit Les sports (sports) I am very excited to learn more about the sports and activities that students enjoy. This week our focus will be: Quel sport pratiques-tu dans temps libres? What sport do you play in your free time? Quel sport pratique tu en ete?en automne? en hiver?au printemps? What sport do you play in summer, fall, winter, spring? At the end of the week students will be doing a group presentation to wrap up our unit on Les vetements. They will be responsible for bringing in clothing items for their groups theme. Additionally they will have worked together to write the introduction and conclusion. I am excited to see what they come up with (they already wrote their introductions and they were great!) Below I have included the I can statements for the next two units for your information. Have a great weekend and great week ahead! Katelyn Pettigrew I am excited for this week as it will be a lot of review and finishing up our les vetements unit. On Thursday April 4th students will need to bring in an assortment of clothing for a fun defile de mode (Fashion show). I encourage them to bring in as many silly items as possible.
This week we will review all past questions and also introduce a few new ones: Quel est ton vetement prefere? What is your favourite clothing item? Quel est ton vetement prefere pour l'ete?l'automne? l'hiver? le printemps?What is your favourite clothing item for summer, fall, winter, spring? On Thursday we will briefly start our next unit Les sports et passe-temps (sports and past times). The unit will start with the question- Est-ce que tu regardes le tele dans tes temps libres? Do you watch tv in your free time? I am looking forward to finishing our current unit and beginning the next one as it can be fun to learn about favourite things and students interests. Have a great weekend and if you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to contact me! Katelyn Pettigrew Happy Weekend!
This week coming students will be working on what they wear during different events and for different activities. We will work on Qu'est-ce que tu portes a UN restaurant chic? What do you wear at a Fancy restaurant? Qu'est-ce que tu portes pour nager? gymnase? les activites ou sport preferes? What do you wear swimming, in gym, doing activities or sports you like? We will also look at how fashions have changed by looking at pictures of styles from past decades (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s). If you have any clothing from any of these decades you'd like to send in or pictures of yourself please send them in :) We are also going to be doing a readers theatre to tie into this weeks book and I hope to get some photos and video of this. I am also hoping to do a silly fashion show for this unit before we finish the unit (probably the beginning of April) More information will come regarding this in next weeks post :) Have a great weekend and week ahead, Katelyn Pettigrew |
