Reading

  1. Continue with your At Home Reading Program through Raz Kids, reading daily in French for a minimum of 10 minutes.
  2. Choose a book in French. This can be a paper book you have at home or an audiobook from Tumblebooks or any other website. Read, listen/watch it as many times as you want. You are going to do a book share during our conferences this week. Plan or write a small script or notes to share with your peers. Here are some things you may want to share about the book you read:
  • Le titre du livre est/Title
  • L’auteur s’appelle/Author
  • L’illustrateur s’appelle/illustrator
  • Les personnages principaux sont/Main characters
  • L’histoire parle de/What the story is about
  • J’ai aimé le livre/je n’ai pas aimé le livre/Parceque/Did you like it?/Why
  • Je recommande ce livre/Je ne recommande pas ce livre/Would you recommend it?
  • J’ai fait un lien avec/Some connections you made while reading

  1. Vocabulary practice: Can you find these letters in any of your French books? Use Raz-Kids, Tumblebooks or any of your at home resources (even labels on food packages and other products) to look for the sound “au” and “eau”. Make a list and send it to me.
  2. Dictée: Once you have had sufficient practice spelling the words, listen to the audio link and test yourself by writing out the words without looking. If you want a challenge, try the sentence at the end. When you are finished you can compare your words with the spelling list above and make any necessary corrections.

Writing

  1. Think about all of the people who are working with the public to help keep us healthy, safe and equipped with everything that we need. Make a list of these people. Can you write them a thank you letter,  message or image that you could draw with chalk on the sidewalk or post on your window or door. If you know of an essential service worker/un travailleur d’un service ou d’un fonction essentiel, consider sending them your letter/message/drawing.
  2. Ecris une histoire d’aventure basée sur l’image. Before you send your story, please reread your writing. Does it make sense? Do you need to make changes? Once you have done this, please send the story to me.
