This semester has flown by! Students will take their end of semester CMS Listening and Reading Exam on 1/18 (A day) and 1/19 (B day). I recommend that students study a bit each night to prepare for the exam.

Happy second quarter! I cannot believe one quarter has already flown by! Below are several important updates for 8th grade French students.
Tutoring --Tomorrow morning at 8! If your student is missing assignments or struggling with concepts, this is a perfect opportunity to come for small group work.
Next Thursday (11/17) tutoring is canceled because I will be out of town for an awesome PD opportunity.
Next Test--The next test will be 11/18 (for A day students) and 11/21 (for B day students). We will be preparing every day up until this test.
Topics-
--aimer (to like)--always paired with the infinitve (J'aime danser.)
--aller (to go)--I am going to the parc. Je vais au parc. and used to make future tense. I am going to dance this weekend. Ce weekend, je vais danser.
--Qu'est-ce que vs. Est-ce que
--Places
--Invitations --Do you want to dance? Est-ce que tu veux danser? and responses to the invitations (yes or no and why)
--review days and dates! (from 6th and 7th grade)
How to prepare--Students should review their notes, practice using the quizlet links below, watch relevant youtube videos, and ask questions! Students are always encouraged to email me with any questions!

Duolingo--Finally, I have asked that each student sign up for a duolingo account and join my class. Students should set a goal of 5-10 minutes a day to practice using duolingo (either the website or the app). The links are below in case your student hasn't signed up yet. There haven't been any formally assigned lessons on this site yet (I tried to assign one to test it out, but I will just count it as extra credit!)

B day link--https://www.duolingo.com/o/qwgfyk
Classroom needs--Everyone seems to be getting sick. I need tissues and clorox wipes for my class room.
