The " Bonjour" Song


Here is how we start each class in the kindergarten through 4th grades.

It's an echo song, greeting with Hello and asking everyone how they are doing: 

Bonjour. Bonjour.  

Ça va? Ça va?
Ça va bien. Ça va bien. :-)  (Thumbs up)
Ça va mal. Ça va mal. :-( Thumbs down)
Comme ci, comme ça. Comme ci, comme ça. :-|  (so, so gesture)

Bonjour classe!  Bonjour Madame!
Bonjour tout le monde! Bonjour tout le monde! (Hello everyone, wave to all)
Ça va  aujourd'hui? (How are you doing today?) 

French Books for your home

Here is a recommendation for a great book to read at home!  My First French Phrases by Jill Kalz has the French, English and pronunciation for many introductory phrases! 

We can have Scholastic Book orders if there is enough interest!

Fall 2014 French @ Folsom

Thank you Kyle Santor at Floor Coverings International in Colchester!!!

Kindergarten through 4th grade French classes have resumed! I'll be posting what we are learning and experiencing, so you can share in the fun at home! 

We use gestures to express ourselves: 1) so a child who is not yet comfortable to try speaking French can share and 2) to keep the flow of the class going and 3) to keep speaking only French whenever possible. 

Thumbs up is a signal to show "ça va bien" (I'm doing well.) or to show agreement.
