Head of the Class

7th Agers were introduced to new French vocabulary this week for parts of la tête (the head). First, they practiced repeating the new words and using their own faces to point to each feature as they said it. Next, the students helped create faces on the board by adding the different features to colorful heads when the teacher called out the French words: les yeux (eyes), les cheveux (hair), le nez (nose), and la bouche (mouth). Students continued to practice by writing these words, in newly-learned Calvert script, on their classwork papers.
