                 Le mois de decembre 2009

Bonjour!! In Kindergarten, the students are making great progress in French, 
even though we only meet twice weekly.

We are continuing with the basics-- greetings, numbers, colors, calendar, 
weather, family vocabulary, basic classroom objects,  and a little 
geography. We are having fun coloring our Christmas tree's ornaments and 
learning a poem about Pere Noel. We sang the dreidel song in French and are 
praying for snow!!

A little boy, upon hearing me speak English to Mr. Kraus, remarked, "She 
speaks human!" Kids are fun!!

Thanks very much to the parents who signed up to help with small art 
projects, to bring in French food, and to record our students and make a CD. 
(The kids love to hear themselves-- a good car CD!!!)Merci!!

In second grade, we finished our second theme, "Henriette se sauve." It was 
hard to say "Au revoir!" We are starting another theme, Les Animaux de 
Compagnie- Pets! It is a fun, short unit with great songs and a culminating 
puppet creation activity. There are many students who try to communicate 
exclusively in French during our daily half hours. It is very exciting!!   

Thanks to second grade parents who signed up to help with our French food 
day. Please email me if you would like to help with an art project or with 
recording our students and then burning CDs. I will cover the expense. I just 
need help!!

Soon, I will show all of my students a video of my two trips to Haiti. Last 
year's students were very interested in helping the children in the remote 
village of Nouvelle Cite. Nouvelle Cite is on the island of La Gonave, which 
has no electricity, plumbing, garbage clean-up, paved roads, public health, 
or reliable public schools. The children are hungry most everyday, which 
saddens our students. We hope to continue a partnership with an elementary 
school in Nouvelle Cite.


Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns or questions. If you 
do not hear from me, you can assume that your student is doing very well!! I 
have 170 K students and 85 second graders, so, sadly, I'll only be in touch 
if there is a concern.

Merci!! Madame Noƫlle (Marty Franchot)
