Practicing gestures

This is a clip of the boys practicing their gestures in class.

You can hear that it's noisy in the classroom and the boys are all speaking in French. Every now and then I hear English and I send them to the door to cross "La ligne magique".

Practising gestures

Day 55

We have learned a new Entry Routine.

On a different note, why is it that my students always have to go to the bathroom or drink water at the beginning of French class? I normally try to be patient as it's a great opportunity for them to learn how to ask these two important questions but today I lose my patience somewhat:

Day 55 Entry Routine

We try a new activity today. I am introducing a list of words for the first time (we learned the gestures but haven't seen the words yet). I ask my students to

- fais l'action

- donne une phrase avec le mot

They LOVED this activity! (probably bcz they won 10 group points for each correct sentence).

It was a fun class!

Day 45

I didn't film the Entry Routine today because we are still doing the "Poule Maboule" Entry routine raps. I'll try changing it for the next filming.

Here is part of my lesson today:

Day 35

Sorry I did not film Day 30! Things have been so busy at school: lots of missed classes due to field trips, P/T interviews, sports events, Remembrance Day and Winter celebration rehearsals, a long weekend, etc. etc.

Here is our new Entry routine which we sing:

Here is the first 10 minutes of class (the film's first slide is incorrect: it is not the Entry Routine):

You may notice that I have changed "Les journaux" to "Les agendas" for homework diaries.

Day 15

This is Day 15 (I made a mistake editing the video and called it Day 11).

I had to get cross with a boy today who would not stop touching a heavy wooden plaque that was hanging on the wall behind him. If it had fallen, it would have caused him serious damage!
