Here we are at the beginning of week 3! This marks the official start of my oral French assessment for Grade 2 (I am always easy on the students at first, as they get used to their class and the new grade).
Starting this week, we have established a points system to motivate students to use their French in class. The group knows that in Grade 2 they are expected to use French at all times. It is also understood that their vocabulary is still growing. Nevertheless, the effort must be heard when speaking to classmates and myself.
Our incentives: when students are using their French, they can be awarded a point. After 10 points, they are invited to pick a prize from my treasure chest. On the flip side, if they are using too much English, they will be awarded a point. After 10 points, they will be given a penalty card which will be sent home to you.
Oral French is an integral part of the Immersion program, and contributes to the ultimate success in learning the language. Please continue the discussion that we are having in class, encouraging your child to use French as much as they are able. They are all capable...they just need a little push:)
Merci de votre collaboration!
