First period students need to complete the last page in the handout INCLUDING the last exercise - C'est important!
All students need to be prepared to take a quiz tomorrow on the school subjects and opinion vocabulary.
1st and 7th period presentation groups will present their tactile game and then students will take the quiz. 2nd period students will practice on Quia first and then take their quiz.
The 2nd period presentation group did a wonderful job with their tactile games! BON TRAVAIL!!!

Madame will be absent tomorrow - doctor's orders! There are workbook pages for you to complete - do all of the circled activities, extra credit ones are optional and 1st period is exempt from the last page until the school subjects presenters finish their introductory lesson. These are great activities to help you practice school subjects and review AVOIR and telling time. What activities are left to complete at the end of class become LES DEVOIRS, so work conscientiously en classe!!!
Mercredi - Practice games and Quia!
Jeudi - Group-created quizzes on this vocabulary (vendredi at the latest)! Préparez-vous!
Soyez bon pendant mon absence!
