My 8th grade French class is made up of ten students who began learning French in the Lower School. Their early start with French has greatly benefitted them. They know a lot of vocabulary and grammatical structure and can easily pick up on new concepts. The majority of our class is conducted in French and I am impressed daily at how well they understand and communicate. This is great preparation for their high school language experience.
What do we talk about in class? Recently we have been discussing our daily routine, what we do to stay healthy, and what our houses are like. Students have learned to read website advertisements for houses and apartments for rent and are currently creating their own advertisements. The students are able to speak about the present, the past, and the future.
I look forward to continuing to work with these bright students in the new year.
