First graders continue to work hard to use French as our language of communication in class. We will perform our Halloween song at rep this week. We continue to follow the adventures in Gondoland, and have seen Corvax try to solve his troubles with Sylvia's unrequited love. We have reviewed colors and body parts, and will soon learn prepositions of location. In addition, several other characters will come into our class activities; one will be an old friend, and the other will be a new but soon to be familiar personnage.

Recent weeks in first grade have brought some new and old material to our class activities. We have finished up our unit with La chenille qui fait des trous, which provided us with some fun drawing opportunities, as well as work with fruit and days of the week. This lead us right into our adventures with an old friend, Le grand Muzzy! We have just found Muzzy in a a bit of a pickle, having been caught eating the parking meters in the local village. We will be finding out what happens to him, as well as learn more about the struggles of Sylvia and Bob, the princess and the gardener, whose relationship does not please the king and queen!

It has been a lot of fun to continue working with these students. It was great to see those of you who were able to attend curriculum night this past week. I discussed my general approach to second language acquisition which can be summed up in two words, "comprehensible input." I also shared a little about what we have been doing in first grade.
Our first major unit is structured to parallel what students are studying in their regular classroom: caterpillars and butterflies. We started with a review of some of our favorite fruits before reading La chenille qui fait des trous. We will spend a little more time with this book, which you can see and hear in French below. We also had a new song that we have been hearing, as well as an oldie-but-goodie. We will soon return to story-telling and Muzzy will make his first major appearance this year!
