Monthly Card Counting

Last week, Grades 5-7 experienced their first card counting class and the group with the highest points won a prize! Bravo! But...some students don't really understand the reason for the cards.

First of all, the cards say 'J'ai parle seulement en francais aujourd'hui' and that means 'I spoke only French today.' At the end of every French class, I ask the students the question 'Est-ce que tu as parle seulement en francais aujourd'jui?' and if they have, they receive a card-in which they put their name on that back and return it to me. If I see them in class talking in English, I say 'C'est dommage' (too bad), when they come up to receive a card.

Each student is placed in a random group (Group A,B,C,D) and we tally up each group's points (1 card = 1 point) and the group with the highest points wins! Gagne! This month's prize was a lollipop but next month, it will be something different.

Remember, PAS D'ANGLAIS!
