This week in French, we will be talking about animals.  We will be discussing and describing pets that we have at home or pets that we would like to have.  We will also describe our pets’ temperament.  Your child is more than welcome to bring in a picture of their pet or a favorite animal that s/he  likes. They can share their picture with the class. Examples of oral structures that will be introduced this week :   J’ai un lapin.  Il s`appelle __.  Il a X ans.  Je n’ai pas …  Je veux avoir un ___ Mon animal préféré est  …  .  Il s`appelle __.  Il est gros.  Il a X ans.  Son corps est recouvert de ___ (poil, écaille, plumes).  Mon ___ a de petites oreilles et les yeux __.  Ses yeux sont ____, ses oreilles sont ___.  Mon animal est ____ …  (gentil, calme, excité, fidèle doux, heureux),  We will  make a class book about our animals this week to end our study on pets.  I feel that the students will love this part of the curriculum!  Finally, we will work on Thanksgiving vocabulary and learn new songs.  We will have a busy, but fun week!
