How to say, I have ... (J'ai ...)

We have done that in class. They need to practice making sentences with that verb. 

I have a book = J'ai un livre.
I have a brother = J'ai un frère.
You have a beautiful cat = Tu as un joli chat or Vous avez un joli chat.
He has a big dog = Il a un gros chien.
We have a small house = Nous avons une petite maison.

Note:

You say, tu (you) to a friend.
For someone older (parents, teacher, someone you show respect) or if there are many people, you say, vous.

 

They do not have to learn it by heart. If they practice making sentences, they will eventually learn it.  Some prefer to learn it by heart because they find it easier to remember.

How to tally

We can make a survey, tally the results and then represent them in a chart.

Let's find out the favourite activity of the students in our classroom.

We make a table with a column for each activity. Then we tally the results in the columns. Finally, we represent the results in a Bar-Chart (Diagramme à colonnes)

Parents: Can you help your child do another survey fo find out the favourite food in your family (ask dad, mom, sisters, brothers, grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.) and represent the results in a chart?

Systèmes de vie (Life systems)

Est-ce que les animaux et les plantes sont importantS? Pourquoi? 
Are animals and plants important? Why? 

Animals, plants, human beings and the environment are all connected to one another. One affects the other. 

If there are no animals, we may not have food (e.g., meat, milk, cheese, eggs,... )
If there are no plants, we may not have food and air (e.g., vegetables, fruits, grains, honey, ...)
Plants produces oxygen, which living things need to breathe.
Animals need other animals, insects and plants to survive.

Il faut prendre soin de animaux, de plantes et l'environnement.
So we need to take care of animals,  plants and environment. 

How can we do that?

By treating and feeding animals well.
By growing our own vegetables.
By not wasting food and water.
By recycling and composting so that we can minimize waste.

Can you make some more suggestions?

Can you use them to ask questions or to give answers?

Try saying:

Are you nice? 

Es-tu gentil? (if a male)

Es-tu gentille? (if a female)

Oui, je suis gentil (if a male) or gentille (if a female).

Are you sad?

Es-tu triste?

Oui, je suis triste.   (Yes, I am sad)

Non, je ne suis pas triste.   (No, I am not sad)

If you are a parent, ask your child to formulate more questions and giving answers using adjectives.

Je suis, tu es ... (I am, you are ... )

Je suis                             I am

Tu es                             You are

Il est                               He is

Elle est                              She is

Tu es Simar.                    You are Simar.

Il est Jerome.                   He is Jerome.

Elle est Kashyla.              She is Kashyla.

 

 

Practice saying those words. You can use your name or other names.

Practice saying, J'aime (I like, love)

J'aime .....                          I like or love ....

J'aime l'école                     I like school

J'aime ma maman             I love my mom

J'aime mon papa               I love my dad

Timeline (Ligne de temps)

What is a timeline?

A timeline is just a way to display events based on time. 

Here's a simple one - The timeline of important events in the life of a child.

Can you help your child do a timeline for himself or herself? 

Instead of writing the events, your child can draw or put photos on it.

Student-led Parents-Teacher Interview

I am very pleased to be able to meet all of you. Thank you for taking the time to come to the interview. It shows how much you support your child in his or her learning.

You now have an idea what he or she has learned in school and what he or she may have to work on to improve. I know it is not easy to help your child when you do not know French. Nevertheless, by showing interest in his or her daily work and by using the classroom website to monitor his or her understanding, the child will learn faster. Encourage him or her to try the interactive activities on the links and to practice writing properly. I cannot stress enough the saying - Practice makes Perfect!.
Thank you again for your support.

M. Wong

1 - 100

After 20, it becomes very easy to count. You will notice, it follows the same pattern.

20     vingt                  (twenty)

21     vingt et un        (twenty and one)

22     vingt-deux        (twenty two)

23     vingt-trois        (twenty three)

Can you guess what comes next?

24     vingt-quatre    (twenty four) 

25     vingt-cinq        (twenty five)

Notice vingt et un, there is no hyphen between the numbers vingt and un. 

But after that, there is always a hyphen up to 30.

30      trente              (thirty)

31      trente et un    (thirty one)

32      trente-deux    (thirty two)

33      trente-trois    (thirty three)

I'm sure, you can do 34 to 39.

40      quarante                (forty)

50      cinquante               (fifty)

60      soixante                 (sixty)

70      soixante-dix           (seventy)

80      quatre-vingts         (eighty)

90      quatre-vingt-dix    (ninety)

100    cent                        (hundred)

Can you say 41, 42, 43 ... 

Be careful:

From 70 to 99, you start using 11, 12, 13 ... instead of 1, 2, 3 ...

71 is soixante et onze    (60 and 11) 

72 is soixante-douze      (60 - 12)

73 is soixante-treize      (60 - 13)

If you can remember that, you can count up to 100.

Congratulation!

Félicitation!
