This morning we began our collages using the texture rubbings from last week and practice sheets from earlier in the year when we experimented with graphite and ink. The artists are building either a cityscape or an animal and they are looking fantastic!
This afternoon we began our independent visits to classrooms to ask our survey questions. Students who did not have their turn today will be going tomorrow after they practice for us. Check-in tonight or tomorrow and ask your mathematician what class they went to, what they asked and if they spoke completely in French!
Words of the Week
Like in English, another way to make the ‘k’ sound in French is with ‘q+u’.
Most of the words that begin with ‘qu’ are question words.
In English, we think of the 5 W’s (Who,
What, When, Where, Why). In French, it’s
the 4 Q’s: Qui, Quoi, Quand, Que,
Pourquoi (and Où).
When you read stories, take time to discuss them using these
words. Who was it about? (Qui), Where
and when did it take place? (Où &
Quand), What happened? (Quoi/Qu’est-ce que), Why did this event
happen? (Pourquoi)
This is a good habit to get into, and will help us write
complete stories of our own later this term.
que, qui, quoi, quel, quand, quatre
Bonus words: pourquoi, qu’est-ce que
