Tomorrow is Seder Day!

Just a reminder that the Kindergarten classes will be having their model seder tomorrow. We have told the children that if they would like to dress up for this they are welcome to do so. Please note it is not a Dress Down Day. If you would rather not dress in good clothes, please wear your uniform. As well please send the food required that was in a previous blog.

On apprend beaucoup!

We are up and learning in French class! Through song, hands on activities and fun we love French class!

We are learning our numbers and about different supplies in our backpacks and in and around the classroom.

We had a number hunt in class, where the students had to find the numbers scattered around the class and report what number they found in French, and then out them in order! They did a great job!

We began our “Dans mon sac a dos il y a…” theme”, where we will be learning about different school supplies!

la couleur ROUGE

ROUGE,  ROUGE PARTOUT! (red, red everywhere red!)

This past week we learned about the color red in Kindergarten. The students were very excited to find so many things around the class and school that were red. It just so happened that on Tuesday…… even Morah Yardena’s shirt was ROUGE!! 😉

Allons-Y! That was a fun week 2!

Bonjour! So we made it through week 2! The kids are having fun and the teachers are too! French class is always a fun, exciting adventure with the K1 and K2’s!

We begin each class with greetings and going through all the name tags asking: Qui est a l’école aujourd’hui? Every student responds with: “Bonjour Morah Yardena”.

We get through our songs, which include “Bonjour mes amis” of course! We’ve taken it up to another level including ‘comment ca va mes amis and ca va bien mes amis!’ (how are you my friends and responding: I am good my friends, thank you)- with hand movements as well.

We are practicing our alphabet, our numbers, days of the week and months of the year- with songs of course!

The students are loving the learning through song and movement.

We do calendar everyday, asking what day is it today? What day was yesterday? What day will it be tomorrow? (In French with English translation and hand gestures to assist the children).

We are getting to know our students better. They are learning about themselves as well through different personalized activities.

Here is a little peak of our Kindergartens ready for circle time and dancing to our new French Songs! 

On to week #3!! 🙂
