We worked with our French alphabet and accent marks today. I collected the homework accent worksheet if they didn't turn it in yesterday. Then we listened to our songs. Then I spelled 6 words for them and they wrote them down. Then they practiced spelling their French first name with three people. Lastly, they played hangman in French where they had to ask for the letters using the French alphabet.

About half the class was significantly late due to the weather and late busses. So we worked with our basic French vocab words versus starting the French alphabet and accent marks today. Students were given a wordsearch using their basic French vocab words where they had to write the English and find the French word. This is homework if they didn't finish.
