French

First grade French is an introduction to French songs and sounds. We learn the numbers 1 through 100, colors, and several songs. Students also "discover" words that are spelled the same in French and English.

Second graders begin to write numbers and dates in French as well as learn simple phrases and verb conjugations. Students learn the placement of different parts of speech and memorize several poems.

Third grade builds on the foundation established in first and second grades. After a thorough review of the previous years' knowledge, we quickly progress to reading and writing and arithmetic. Poem memorization continues to further facility with French pronunciation and vocabulary memorization. Students learn irregular verbs to be, to have, and to go as well as the regular first conjugation ER verbs.
