Winter Break Language Assignment

Assalam Alaikum Parents,

                 Students will have a short reading comprehension booklet to work on over the winter break. It will be due January 13th, 2014. Students were given the booklet on Friday and may start it as soon as they please. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me. JazakAllah-Khairan.

Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents,

I would like   to inform that grade 4 students have a small project on the Winter season ( weather, clothing and activities). I am attaching the details of the project.

Students were given the vocabulary in class and we drilled orally all the sentences related to the weather, the clothing and few activities.

Just a few reminders that:

•  this is the student work (if any help is needed, they can ask me any time) not parents's work.
• students are required to write directly in French even if the sentences are not perfect or contain some English vocabulary
• students are not allowed to write in English and use Google translator (it will show) but they can use the on-line dictionary to translate some words.

Jazakum Allah kheiran for your cooperation and support,

Amina Ould-brahim,

News from Tr. Amina

Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents,

In French we have read the story we are working on and we did the first written reading comprehension " Choisis le bon mot".

The next writing activities are " Je mets les mots en ordre" ( I put the words in the correct order) and " Les questions totales"  (total questions where the answer is in the question). Through these 2 activities, students learn progressively how to write correct sentences in French. 

To introduce these 2 activities, we are working on the sentence structure and its components.

This  Monday, November 4th, 2013, students will have the second test in French Insha'a Allah.

The test has 3 components: dictation (students have the vocabulary since Monday, October 28th), Choisis le bon mot (activity was done in class and is related to the story), vocabulary (questions related to daily vocabulary drilled in class). 

 For any question, please feel free to send me an email or to give a call.

Jazakum Allah Kheiran for your support.
