Text of the page (random words):
d according to the 24 hour clock lunch is such an ingrained part of the day that it is included every school day at noon as a given the school week ends on samedi saturday though i understand that few french schools still hold class on saturday mornings any more the days of the week are not capitalized french cursive handwriting is different and cuter than american cursive the digit 1 begins with a pre stroke like an upbeat or a tiny wing while the 7 features a horizontal stroke that just makes it look cooler than an american seven the drawings at the bottom don t depict football pennants or technology but they do include the ubiquitous and very french trousse a pencil case that sits at the top of every desk to enable students to rotate between pencils fountain pens and ballpoint pens of various colors as well as to underline key points with a straight edge at a moment s notice the bird icon is speaking english and these are the sort of things that we teachers should want our kiddos to pay attention to if you re learning a language it doesn t happen in a vacuum verb conjugations are fine and dandy but they don t do you any good if you show up for dinner on the wrong day at the wrong time because you misread the calendar or assumed that 18h was the same thing as 8 00 what are some of your favorite pieces of realia as a student or a teacher and do you have any souvenirs as tacky but delightful than my tour eiffel en peluche you know you do go ahead tell us about them posted by sarah baby bilingual at 5 21 pm 13 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels elementary teaching esl efl moi pinterest realia friday october 23 2015 an unexpected result of a parent teacher conference i hate soccer je déteste le foot griffin par contre adore le foot no wait that s too strong rather i am ambivalent about sports and i dislike the commitment that playing on a kids soccer team requires two practices a week right at dinner time which means that we can either eat early without my husband who is still at work or eat later which throws off the kids bedtime routine plus a game on saturdays which can be as early as 9 00 or as late as 4 00 on soccer afternoons griffin has to walk home from school decompress from his 7 5 hour school day he craves time by himself most days eat a protein heavy snack do his homework 20 minutes or so practice his music 10 minutes find his shin guards and cleats and water bottle and hat and walk to practice all in two hours this would of course be a piece of gâteau to a grown up but not for a lollygagging seven year old and not for the seven year old s mother and his little sister who must accompany him for all these steps he loves her very much of course but sometimes he just wants her to leave him alone so i feel confident in blaming le foot for the fact that it s been hard to get griffin to do anything in french at home with me lately he s a busy little boy and i don t want to push him to read and write in french if he doesn t want to he ll resist and resent it fortunately he still willingly snuggles and listens to me read aloud in french at bedtime at his first parent teacher conference of the year as we discussed how to keep him engaged and challenged in second grade i had a brainstorm i asked the teacher if i could come in a couple of times a week to do french lessons with him during the school day and she agreed so far so good he s thrilled to skip the school breakfast and calendar circle time for half an hour at the beginning of the day while spending time one on one with maman we sit at a table just outside his classroom and take turns reading aloud then we discuss what we read then he writes a little about it and his favorite sometimes we play word games it s low key and lovely it makes me so so happy to spend time helping him explore this language that i love and not having to coax or cajole him to interact in french not having to ward off and wrangle his inquisitive imperious sister not having to squeeze our lessons in between snack and soccer or chores and bath or homework and dinner that makes our time together all the sweeter my smiley garçon

questions elementary teaching griffin pioneer dual language immersion elementary sunday september 27 2015 l alphabet français ii répétez okay so now you have listened to more french alphabet songs than you d ever thought possible enough listening you won t learn the sounds and the names of the letters until you get comfortable pronouncing them so clear your throat take a long drink of eau and try these out military style french alphabet an english speaking french teacher walks you through her version of the alphabet set to the rhythm of a familiar military cadence i don t know but i ve been told this ten minute video is very thorough and offers opportunities to practice single lines at a time slowly and then build up to saying the whole chant more quickly watch this quick example first but this guy s cuter tom from easytolearnfrench com is a young frenchman who earnestly teaches anglophone viewers how to say the french alphabet do watch this too so that you hear a native speaker pronouncing the letter names want to keep practicing but don t want to keep watching these same two videos over and over oui these websites have simple pronunciation activities from chillola com click on the letter and repeat from about com words that start with each letter to listen to and repeat this page from the bbc focuses on the trickier sounds for anglophones including nasal vowels strangely it neglects to include u my high school french teacher always told us to round your lips as if you re going to say ooooo but then say eeeee instead and finally here s another activity that reinforces on the vowel sounds courtesy of hello world com coming soon l alphabet français part 3 which will feature games and apps about the alphabet posted by sarah baby bilingual at 9 48 pm 54
