Le français:  8e classe

Bonjour mes amis!  Encore une fois, notre projet d'hiver arrive:  on va préparer des cadeaux (boîtes à souliers) pour les étudiants dans une école à Waterbury avec le MGA. 

Once again, our French club is asking all our eighth-grade French students to donate  shoe boxes and fillers for our winter service project.  Along with the Memorial Guidance Association, our club fills shoe boxes for 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 year-old boys and girls who attend a school in Waterbury.  Last year, the French Club filled and wrapped 50 boxes.  This year our goal is 60.  The staff and family members of the students at the designated school are very appreciative of and complimentary to our generous students who give up their recess, lunch, and study time to complete this project.  Our students take great pride in this project which unites them in a common cause and encourages them to get involved in service to the community. 

Some suggestions for fillers are the following:  card games, flash cards, school supplies, books, nerf balls and toys, mittens/gloves, candy (no nuts, please), toiletries, small toys, beanie babies, dolls, action figures, stickers - anything you think is appropriate for young students.  We appreciate any donations you can make to our project and thank you in advance for your continued support.

Merci mille fois,  

Mme Galiette

Bonjour mes amis!  Comment ça va?  Things are really moving along in 7th-grade French class.  We are already nearing the close of the first term.  Can you believe how much you have learned in two months?  Yes, French is difficult, but you have all worked very hard to stay on top of the vocabulary and conjugations by studying and staying focused in class.  BRAVO, MES AMIS!  It's time to give homework some increased effort:  be very careful when you complete the assignments, and be sure to correct your work when we go over it.  Also, use your vocabulary cards for review as often as possible.

Since our class meets at the end of a very long morning for you, I suggest that you bring a snack (quick - no three-course meals, please!) to class to munch on as we get organized.  Also, if you sense that you need your seat changed, see me immediately.  Think of the spot where you will focus and achieve best:  if you are not sitting there now, it's time for a change.   Continue to work on practicing your bêtes noires!

A tout à l'heure,

Mme Galiette
