We look forward to playing Kahoot this year!

Students created masks of various francophone countries and wrote little information cards to go with them. These are going to go around our building Monday morning. We have posters on why to learn French from the French Embassy and Institut Français. We are going to decorate paper t-shirts where students will write their favorite French saying to be a logo and these will also go around the building. The French Honor Society starts teaching French at the nearby elementary school and we will have buttons for them to wear all week. The students will also have buttons to wear. We are going to make an Eiffel Tower made of paper. Finally, trivia of famous French and well-known people for the morning announcements.

We have created a scavenger hunt around school for questions about Francophone countries. The clues start hard and get easier but to find the next clue, they have to follow a hint about a spot or a teacher on our campus. At the end, they will have IDed 10 countries around the world. Winners win pizza and a "get your phone out of jail free" pass. At the end of the week, we'll have a lunch with international  foods!

To promote awareness in the school, 6th graders decorated posters with flags from francophone countries around the world.  These will be hung throughout the school.  Each day, our morning announcements will include stats on the French language, as well as fun facts about famous French people in history.  6th, 7th & 8th graders will create posters that show why they are studying French that will be hung on a bulletin board, and we will play culture trivia throughout the week.  We are also a Brice Kapel concert that our local CT chapter is organizing!

I am sponsoring a week-long Tour de France competition where students in each class can earn points for their team. Tuesday is Beret Day!
!!!  Wednesday students are encouraged to speak French to as many teachers as possible in order to earn points for the team!  Friday is French Character Day!  Each class is also creating a mural to be displayed in the hallway outside my classroom!

We do a "crêpes for cancer" cart sale Thursday and Friday before homeroom. We make the crêpes after school Wednesday and Thursday. We borrow six carts from the library and decorate them. Each cart has plates, plastic spoons, napkins, jam, Nutella, whip cream, and a bag with some change. We charge $1. I microwave the crêpes in the morning and wrap them in aluminum for each cart. They are in teams of two or three. Some have stations (lobby), some circulate in the halls. We announce it everyday but if they forget their money on Thursday, they don't forget for Friday! Our Honor Society (SHF) raises money all year to support pediatric cancer in honor of a student from our school. The kids have fun, the school loves the crêpes, and we raise money for a good cause. NFW is such fun and gets French out of the classroom and into the entire school!

French 2-Post AP students will each illustrate one French idiomatique expression related to food (idea (inspired by book "Edible French" by Clotilde Dusoulier and illustrated by Mélina Josserand). The student work will be produced into posters that we will hang all around the cafeteria during the week.
