  • This week, our stations have been about,les chiffres (numbers) between 1 and 20.

  • We have been listening to the following songs in the morning. I added some more songs that include numbers higher than 20. If you would like to practice numbers in French with your son/ daughter, please listen to the songs below:

          • Station 1: For our first station, the students created a scene out of foamies. They then had to describe their picture in French beginning with the phrase, "Je vois (I see...). See below for an example of this station:

          • Station 2: For our second stations, the students worked as a team to create their own playing cards! We will have a class set by the end of our station rounds. See below for an example:

          • Station 3: For our third station, the students practised addition and French. With a partner, your child had to roll a dice and say the number that they rolled in French. They then rolled the dice again and added the 2 numbers rolled, together. The partner repeated the same steps. The greatest sum would win the round! Feel free to play this game at home with your son/ daughter!

          • Station 4: For our fourth station, I played an exercise video on the Smartboard screen. I put the video on mute, because I wanted to hear the students saying numbers in French while they followed the leader on the video. You can do this at home as well!
