2cnd Grade French

Clothing, days of the week, and names of places have been our focus lately in French class. Grenadine showed us the clothing she took on a little trip around France, while our characters, Hugo, Thomas, Marion, Leila, Sébastien and Kim told us the places they visited each day with their school. These included a château, a school, the pool, a circus, the Asterix park, and a party. Each student made a book of the places, which should have gone home yesterday. We also learned about the sound -an, and wrote some words that use this configuration of letters.

We will aim to work through the next chapter of the book before the end of the year. We will learn to describe our hair and eye color, study numbers to 100, learn the names of the months, and talk about the sound -u makes in French.

Vocabulary will include:

Le Calendrier de Grenadine: janvier, février, mars, avril, mai, juin, juillet, août septembre, octobre, novembre and décembre

Les chiffres de Grenadine: dix, vingt, trente, quarante, cinquante, soixante, soixante-dix, quatre-vingts, quatre-vingt-dix, and cent

Les descriptions: les cheveux blonds, les cheveux bruns, les cheveux noirs, les cheveux roux, les yeux bleus, les yeux marron, les yeux noirs, les yeux verts, les yeux gris, les yeux noisettes

Il a les cheveux blonds. Elle a les yeux bleus.
