In French Language Arts
we have been very busy learning new words, French expressions and learning how
to avoid using English expressions in our oral language. Here are the French expressions
that we have focused on so far…
“la semaine des quatre jeudis” –
translates to “the week of the 4 Thursdays” and it means “never”
“sauter du coq à l’ane” –
translates to “jumping from the rooster to the donkey” and it means “jumping
from one topic to another”
“ haut comme trois pomme”
translates to “as high as three apples” and it means “being short”
“avoir un chat dans la gorge”
translates to “having a cat in your throat” and it means “having a frog in your
throat”
“mêlez-vous de vos oignons”
translates to “mind your onions” and it means “mind your own business”
The students have also learned new vocabulary words with an
emphasis on springtime. They have created beautiful spring poems and Wordles (Wordles.com) which
you will have a chance to see when you visit the classroom during Student-Led
Interviews.
In FLA, we are also learning how to write a detailed story
which has a strong and interesting beginning, middle and end. The students are
learning that every interesting story has characters that are trying to solve a
problem. It is very interesting to see what they create.
