NOTE:  Since we are doing a food unit, tomorrow is the first chance to try something French-related - but only if YOU take the initiative.  If you have time and are interested, you can bring in a French-related food for the class to try.  It has to be EASY to eat (no cutting / bowls required)..  Examples are croissant, French cookies, cream puffs (I've seen these at Costco), mini quiches.  This is not required - If we have food, we'll eat it.  If we don't, we won't.  Up to YOU!

French 6: Today, students practiced cafe vocabulary for food and drinks. 

They did a review guide and a puzzle.  If they finished, they worked on a Quizlet of their choosing.

Homework: Please finish any work that you owe.  You. can also practice how to talk about being hungry and thirsty HERE.

1.  Click here to vote in MARCH BOOK MADNESS today.

2.  If you didn't already finish OPINIONS (Spell), do this first.  If you didn't do the digital learning, you must do that as well.

3.  If you finished opinions, you can go to the Review Guide for tomorrow's quiz.  I recommend doing it all (write, spell, or test) but you can star the hard ones if you are confident that you know some of them.  MATCH is not a good option at this point.

If you think you know everything really well, you can also set asteroids to type in French and see how high you can score.

If you've finished required work and you only need practice with places, that is HERE and actions are HERE (this is the digital learning work).  

​QUIZ ON EVERYTHING IS THURSDAY!

French 6:  So, I've been out sick for two days!

Yesterday, students took the unit test.  If you missed it, schedule with me when you get back,

Today, students practiced new vocabulary using this GUIDE.  The quizlet set for the guide is HERE.

Here's a treat for you.  I always tell you that the power of moving forward and continuing to learn is so important.  It doesn't matter how many times you don't get it - as long as you keep moving towards that goal.  We learn from failures, and we better ourselves when we make mistakes.  Check out this video that says it all!  Leave a comment with your French name and class period!  I might post it!

My hero and inspiration,
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
 
January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968


"Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in."    - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don’t have to know Einstein’s “Theory of Relativity” to serve. You don’t have to know the Second Theory of Thermal Dynamics in Physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.”   - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
