C'est en forgeant qu'on devient forgeron.
"It is by forging that we become blacksmith."
"It is by forging that we become blacksmith."
What a beautiful way to say "practice makes perfect." One can only master a language by "doing" it; so, I encourage your child to be your French teacher at home. Start with a simple "bonjour" or "ça va bien." With time and consistent practice, your child will get a better sense of the rhythm of the French language.
Last week, Grade 1 and 2 students continued to build on what they had learned from Me voici. They learned to respond to Comment ça va? and worked on the numbers (1 to 5.) As a way to reinforce the knowledge of the numbers, students learned how to sing Happy Birthday, or Bonne fête à toi.
Grade 3 and 4 students worked on greeting each other by asking Comment ça va? as well as responding to them. This is their first step in creating a dialogue with their peers. They reviewed the first verse of Tête, épaules, genoux, orteils, (i.e. the French version of Heads and Shoulders, Knees and Toes) and learned the second verse. As a way to reinforce the concepts, we played the game Jacques a dit or Simon says.
