Allô tout le monde! Comment ça va?!
First off, I miss you all so much! Not being able to see you, talk to you and see how you are all doing is driving me nuts! For now, staying at home is key for us to be together sooner. It was so amazing to see your faces on social media last week during our virtual spirit week. You guys are so awesome and full of knight pride :D
For FILA and social studies, we’re going to start very slow. Get into a new learning environment in the comfort of your home. It’s been a while since you’ve engaged in active learning, so we want to ease into it. Once we do this, I have planned more options in terms of activities and projects that you can do at home.
I will be placing a One Week Plan on my Teacher Page every Monday. These plans are meant to run from Monday-Monday. Although we have not been instructed to formally assess students at this time, we are permitted to give feedback as you move through the learning opportunities. That means you can contact me through email if you need any help (nancy.stewart@nbed.nb.ca). I will also be posting on my Instagram account (stewart_mme) every Monday, same as my teacher page. I’m sure you know that I would be more than happy to help anyone who needs it. I would be happy just to hear from you! I made a short Hello Video because I feel I can connect better in person than in a letter ;) I can’t talk with my hands in a letter Ha! Ha! Ha! Nor make all my facial expressions :D
As you will see in my Week One plan, you will have the opportunity to complete activities from each FILA component: reading, speaking and writing. In regards to reading, you can read a French book or online French articles that I posted in the plan. In terms of oral communication, it would be a great opportunity to call up your friends and have conversations in French J Anything to put into practice your French skills would be great for this week. Finally, for writing, just a short paragraph is what I ask!
I will talk to you soon!
