Tips for teaching the French passé composé - Teach the passé composé so students retain what they've learned : French teaching resources
I LOVE using centres with my students! My students love them, and will choose many of the centres to play during indoor recess instead of lego and other toys. It rained this week and one of my boys chose to build with magnets on cookie trays! Setting clear routines is the most important part. Take the time to teach the games to your students so that they understand how to play properly. If they haven't mastered the French vocab, then you will have behavioural and focus issues come up. With younger students, make sure you practice the game as a whole class many times before you introduce it as a centre. Set-up: I use the cards from my "j'ai fini" board as the centre rotation cards, as the centres are all things they can also choose to do if they finish their work early. I recently updated the file to include centre group cards, so you can write their names on the group # cards to set up your groups before they come to class. Normally my "j'ai fini" board is set up like this: Since they're on magnets, it's really easy to move them over to the other side of my whiteboard to set up the centres. I line them up vertically and put the group # cards beside them. I have each centre set up on a table group (except bug in a rug, they play on the carpet). I review the rules of each centre with them, and the CLEAN UP rules. We talk about what each centre should look like when it's been properly cleaned up. They get started at their centres, and I work with my small group at my table. When I'm done with them (about 10 minutes) I ding my bell. This means clean up and come back to the carpet. Once they're all back at the carpet, we look around to check that the room is cleaned up properly. Any groups who wrote on whiteboards are able to read a sentence they wrote to the class. This is our sharing centre. Then I move the centre cards on the whiteboard down one spot, and tell each group where they are going for their next centre. Here are some of the centres I do: 1. Bang game: Put all the vocab you’re practicing in a container. Students pull out a card. If they can say it in French (or use it in a sentence, to make it harder) then they can keep the card. If they pull a card that says “bang” then they get another turn (or lose all their cards, your choice!) You can use any empty yogurt container or plastic tupperware. Just make sure they can't see through the container! Some of my students like to play bang and then write the words they won on a whiteboard! 2. Bug in a rug: Lay out the vocab in a grid. One student hides the “bug” under a card, while the other students close their eyes. They guess in French which vocab card it’s hidden under. Whoever finds the bug gets to hide it next. This game requires an honest conversation with your students about why cheating will ruin the fun of the game! 3. Go fish: You can print any of the flashcards you're using in class. Copy them 2 or 4 per page to make them smaller. 4. Word building: Magnets on cookie trays! My students use our visual dictionaries or word wall strips to choose their words/sentences to build. These awesome magnets come from wintergreen. This set is much cheaper, but you'd likely need multiple sets. The cookie trays are from the dollar store. Ideally you want small magnets so they can fit more words on the cookie tray. 5. Sentence building: Print squares with a variety of sentence starters, numbers, colours, and objects. Students then put the words in order to build sentences. You can extend this by having them read their sentences to a partner, or write their sentences on a whiteboard/in their journals. 6. "Pictionary": One student draws on a whiteboard, the other student has to guess what they are drawing. 7. Matching: Picture to the word. My students use our visual dictionaries to check their work over when they're done! 8. Cootie catchers/fortune tellers with a partner. 9. Bingo - 1 group member can be the bingo caller, others put tokens on the words that are called. I use these as the bingo tokens. 10. Writing on whiteboards - 11. Hunting for sight words - 12. Cube game - Roll the cube and answer the question. Extension - write the question! I bought the cubes here, and write different prompts on sticky notes to slide under the plastic. 13. SMACK game - One student says the word, whoever smacks it first gets to say the next word! 14. Spin and graph sight words - 15. Stamp the sight words, themed vocab, or sentences! 16. Write the sight words - I bought salt from the dollar store and added a few drops of food colouring, then gave it a good shake. Students use a sharp pencil to write words in the salt! 17. Read and clip - 18. Spinner games - I use these in centres to give my students prompts for oral communication or writing. They can spin the spinner and either say a sentence or write a sentence. They can review vocabulary in partners (one spins, one says the word). 19. Working with Mlle - The BEST part about centres is that it means I can pull small groups to work with. Do you have any centres you love? Feel free to share in the comments :)
Materials: · 65 grams 11/0 greens seed beads · 5 grams11/0 contrasting green seed beads · < 1 gram 15/0 brown seed beads · 35 6mm or 8mm white pearls or druk beads · 24 gauge green copper-core wire · 28 gauge green or brown copper-core wire · 30 gauge green copper-core wire · Green floral tape · 7 lengths of 18 gauge stem wire About this project: This mistletoe project is a beginner-level project, however, this tutorial does not teach the techniques. To learn the Basic Frame, Continuous Cross-over loop, and Lacing, go to the link in the Resources above for videos and free pdfs to walk you through the process. This tutorial does cover the Fringe technique to make the berries. Substitutions: If you do not have 28 gauge wire, it’s possible to use 30 gauge wire but you will have a better time making the berries with 28 gauge wire. I list 30 gauge wire for lacing and assembly but if you have 32 gauge wire, using that for assembly would be even better. I used 6mm beads for the berries. I do not recommend going any higher than 8mm. If using 8mm, it’s possible to use an 11/0 brown seed bead instead of 15/0 without it looking too large.

In grade 1, we have been learning about classroom objects. I read this book to them: After having read it to them many times over the past few weeks, they are familiar with the pattern in the book. When I read it, I have them count the objects with me, and also repeat the object after me: "Dans ma salle de classe il y a 6 livres. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 livres". When I pulled small groups during these past few weeks, I practiced the classroom vocabulary with them using different games. Here is "bug in a rug": Then we started making up our own sentences to match the pattern in the book. I write "il y a", and then ask "combien?" and a student tells me a number. Then a second student tells me an object, and we read the whole sentence together as a class. After having done it together as a class a few times, I gave them their own mini white boards and they drew the sentences at the same time, using my whiteboard as a model. Then I sent them back to their desks and they wrote the sentences on their desks. After writing/drawing them, we took a minute and a few students shared their sentences with the class. Once we had practiced that for a few days and they had the hang of it, we added colours! When we do Daily 5 centres, they are playing different centre games to reinforce the vocabulary for classroom objects (Bang, matching, bug in a rug, dominoes, sentence making). Next week my students will be making their own versions of the books, showing me what they have learned with numbers and classroom objects vocabulary. If they are able to, they can also extend it to add colours! Note: If their desks have dirt/food/residue on them, then the dry erase markers will leave some colour on the desks. I use a spray bottle with dish soap and water, spray and let it sit for a minute. It will wipe right off with paper towel!

Happy Friday! I hope you survived a week of rain, wind, a full moon, and Halloween excitement! I've been struggling to get over my first cough/cold/etc of the season and I am definitely looking forward to sleeping this weekend. I am probably over-excited for that extra hour of sleep we get on Sunday! This week we practiced our verbs of the week and used them to focus on new sentence starters. I used to keep my sentence starters in a pocket chart, but now I keep them on my whiteboard so that we can build sentences with them. When we start a new set of vocabulary, I always copy a second set of flashcards and put them up on magnets so that my kids can grab them off the board if they need them during their writing. Having both of these on magnets means we can use them to practice making sentences! My students are really comfortable with "il y a" and "je vois", so we've moved on to "je mange", "je porte" and "j'aime". I've been reading the "C'est l'automne" book from my fall pack every day. I read a sentence and have them repeat it after me. It's a LOT of repetition, but it works :) As we talked in September about the importance of repetition, I haven't had any of them question it or complain about it. They actually get really excited once they know the book well! When they're really familiar with it, they like to show off and read it as a class without my help, while I just hold it up and turn the pages. Building sentences - starters and word wall cards: I normally keep my sentence starters off to the side of my whiteboard. As a class, we read each one together as we go through the list of starters we've learned so far. Then one student picks a starter for us and I slide it over. Then we go through the words that are part of our current word wall (it was classroom objects, now it's fall themed). I say each word and they repeat it after me (usually we use different silly voices too, to make it fun!). Then a student chooses a card to complete our sentence. Sometimes we also use mini whiteboards at the same time, so they can write (or "dwrite" with words and pictures) it out and then "bump up" their sentences with colours and numbers. Then they read their sentence to a partner. I love having everything up on magnets. I can save time by not having to draw or write the parts of the sentence they choose! I get my magnets in sheets from Dollarama - they're awesome! You'll just need to practice some self restraint... I did NOT and now almost all my flashcards have magnets on them!
I did the research so that you don't have to! I've created a list of French back to school resources that you need if you teach Primary French Immersion.
This week in grade 1: Our focus has been on learning the colours! I found this song on youtube, but changed the lyrics and added more colours (we keep the general tune though). My kids love it! Here's the version we sing: Bleu, jaune, rouge et vert, rouge et vert! Bleu, jaune, rouge et vert, rouge et vert! Des couleurs pour créer un petit monde coloré, Bleu, jaune, rouge et vert, rouge et vert! Orange, violet, rose et brun, rose et brun! Orange, violet, rose et brun, rose et brun! Des couleurs pour créer un petit monde coloré, Orange, violet, rose et brun, rose et brun! Gris, turquoise, noir et blanc, noir et blanc! Gris, turquoise, noir et blanc, noir et blanc! Des couleurs pour créer un petit monde coloré, Gris, turquoise, noir et blanc, noir et blanc! My grade 1s started playing colour "bug in a rug". One student hides the bug under one of the cards, and the others try to guess where it is (saying the word in French). And a different version of the same game: Here is the "bang!" game that they started playing this week. They pull a card from the container, and if they can say it in French then they can keep the card. If they pull a "bang!" card then they get a second turn. When my grade 2s play "bang", we sometimes play that they put all their cards back in. Then we started to work our way through our colour books! Here are two examples below: With my grade 2s, we continued to review the colours and basic vocabulary from grade 1. They played colour dominoes, and had to match the colour square to the name of the colour: I also asked them different questions in French, and they drew and discussed their answers with me. I let them draw on their desks (they were STUNNED) and then we washed them after with a bit of soap and water. We practiced a longer version of the "septembre" poem that they learned in grade 1: And we reviewed different sentence starters: My grade 2s have also been playing colour "bang", but they have to use the word in a sentence. I am trying to break them of the habit of starting their sentences with "je vois", so we will slowly be adding in different options for sentence starters on our bulletin board. It was a busy week! Hope you're all settling in and enjoying getting to know your classes :)
Objective: Students will learn directions: Tourner à gauche, tourner à droite, va tout droit Resources Students’ hands Basic school supplies in a school pencil box This French Directions lesson was fun as the students loved using their own supplies to make mazes on their desks and on the floor. 1. Trace Hands and write vocabulary: droite, gauche, …
Ok, I know - it's too soon. But it helps to be prepared! Here are some resources that can help save you some time in September, so you can enjoy your summer for a bittttt longer! These French Immersion start up activities are great for k-2 Immersion, depending on where your students are. My grade 1s are BRAND new to French, so when I use these with them we practice a LOT, and the activities are done over a few weeks. I use the colour mini book as an assessment once they've learned all their colours! For grade 2 Immersion students, the activities make a great review of everything they learned in grade 1 (and may have forgotten over the summer). These French back to school activities are fun, quick activities to do during the first week of school. I use the activities in here to set up our classroom and make some bulletin boards to showcase their work! If you're ready so start thinking about your program structure, then you might be interested in this poem and song duotang file! I use this as our weekly homework activity. My students have a general homework duotang, and we focus on 1 poem or song each week. We also use the Shadow Puppet app to record it and post it on our class Weebly website, so my kids can practice at home with audio! These printable worksheets are quick, easy activities that your students can do to practice their French. I treat each one as a longer activity than just completing the sheet. We read a related book, talk about the vocabulary they'll need to use at the carpet, and practice talking about what we're going to draw/write with a partner. Then when they're done, they can share their work with the class (and you can take anecdotal notes)! They also make great activities to leave for a supply teacher. If your students are not brand new to French, Bingo games make a fun way to review their fall vocabulary. Last but not least, these cootie catchers can help your kids get back into the groove of speaking in French! We used them in grade 1 last year to review colours, numbers, and letters. If your students are further along in French, they can use them to practice building sentences with the vocabulary! Enjoy the rest of the summer!

This week we made our mini books! Literally... I photocopied them 4/page so we had teeny tiny books! This was a selling point for my grade 1s, as they thought mini books were very exciting. The mini books followed the same pattern as the book I have read to them for the past few weeks. We practiced the vocabulary many different ways before I had them write their own book. The dot at the end of each sentence is for the colour: "Dans ma salle de classe, il y a 4 gommes roses", "Dans ma salle de classe il y a 3 crayons oranges". So... I came back from Thanksgiving weekend to find my classroom covered in mouse droppings. We had a few visitors move into our hallway of the school!!! Some of my students wrote this into their books! They thought it was quite funny! Technically, it was in our classroom... My students are REALLY excited to read their books to some of the older French Immersion students at our school!

Grade 1: This week we continued to practise our colours, numbers, and basic weather/calendar vocabulary. My students practised the colour mini books that they made last week, and are now starting to play our colour games in small groups. It's so great to hear them using the colours in French! We have also been playing "Simon dit" to introduce some basic body part vocabulary. We have also been learning our classroom objects! I made a book to read with them (because I could not find a book with classroom objects!) and some word wall cards that match. Once they are comfortable with the classroom objects, they will be making their own version of the book. Grade 2: This week we worked on our fall vocabulary. We practised reading with the matching games: And dominos! In art, my students traced their hands and made line patterns. They turned out really well! We are starting our "Air and Water" unit this week as well! What are you working on in your classroom??

This product consists of a short passage centered on LE JOUR DU SOUVENIR and is ideal for providing practice for basic French question words to beginning/early intermediate learners in Core French, French Immersion, and Adult Education French programs. It consists of a short paragraph in the present tense about two students participating in a Remembrance Day ceremony at their school, and is followed by 10 short-answer questions. It is provided in portrait and landscape mode to allow for some differentiated instruction (see below). Portrait Mode Students complete the short-answer questions which follow the order of events in the passage. For a wonderful lifelong tool reference sheet on the meanings of the French Question Words, click HERE. Landscape Mode Students complete the short-answer questions in the boxes which surround the passage. Note: The questions are not in exactly the same order as the events in the story. Differentiated option: Instead of writing in the responses, teachers may choose to have their students draw arrows from the question to the answer in the text. Alternatively, students can colour-code their answers by highlighting each question and answer with the same colour. Such options decrease the cognitive load on struggling writers and allow the focus to be solely on reading comprehension. Ideal for a Daily 5 center, substitute teacher resource, distance learning, or as a sponge activity. An Answer Key is provided.

We all know that Francophone culture is an important part of learning French, but we often don't spend as much time as we should teaching our students about the cultures of the French-speaking peoples. Let's be honest, most of the time, the French culture that accompanies our textbooks is pretty weak, and we're so busy creating lesson plans for
Last week my grade 1s practiced their first winter mini book. This week we will be making a second one! I kept the third book from the file for my grade 2s, as the sentence structures and vocabulary were harder. Here are some pictures of the finished books. For this book, I chose to have them cut the pictures and glue them into their book. Next week, for the different book, they will be reading and drawing their own pictures. They kept their finished books at school and used them during Read to Self, and then took them home to practice at home. I uploaded a video to youtube (here and here) so that they could practice at home! I also just made up some for Valentine's day! I have a really hard time finding French books that match the reading levels/vocabulary bank of my students. Even the simple French books tend to have sentence structures that are challenging for second language learners. They get really excited about the mini books because they're able to be successful with each book as they learn to read over the year.
I clearly have spring on my mind :) Here is a freebie you can use during Daily 5/in your literacy centres. You can download it in French or English. They are simple sentences that your kids can put together using the puzzle pieces. Just print, laminate, and cut up the sections!

Happy Friday!! I hope you all had a great week back after the break! This week we practiced our writing. In the fall, we did guided writing as a class. Now my goal is for them to be able to come up with sentences independently. We have words on our word wall, as well as a winter word wall and a chart of sight words. My goal is to get my students used to using all of these resources around the classroom to help them when they are writing. Together, we decided that the goal for their writing was "au moins 3 phrases". They also had to use each of the words in the box at least once. My students earn pompoms as a class that can be redeemed for free choice on Fridays. The more pompoms they have earned as a class, the more minutes of free choice they get. We decided that for today they would get 1 pompom for each sentence they wrote down. It was a great motivator! Here is some of their work: These are from my tpt store here!
