We are going to try combining a Social Studies theme of changes in my community and a Science theme, plants and earth day.<br />
<br />
Why do things change over time?<br />
Is change good?<br />
Have the changes in our community over time been good for our local environment/park/pond/lake?<br />
<br />
Word collections have 3 themes, spring, in the garden and earth day. I plan to introduce 1 a week.<br />

They are listed below with the outcomes as laid out in the Many Voices resource. The questions for inquiry for each unit are not included here. Our grade team addressed those in our more detailed unit plans.<br />
<br />
My grade team decided to focus on science curriculum themes first term and did not teach or report on social studies outcomes first term. We found that in grade 1 in French Immersion students have very little language to discuss the more abstract concepts in the Social Studies curriculum. Therefore, you will see that these units began in January and are taught and assessed in terms 2 and 3 of the school year.<br />

Following these and the grade 1 science themes I divide the year up to follow these areas of study. Our writing, art, reading, and technology projects all have these themes at their root. So, when we learn new vocabulary or make a collaborative class book or a math journal I try to tie those learning experiences to these themes. I have not posted my unit plans for each unit, however the first unit can be found <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2012/06/social-studies-belonging-in-my-world.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Here are our class collaborative books (a small piece of our units of study) related to these themes:<br />

This was a new inquiry project for our grade team based on artifacts from the past. We studied a class collection of artifacts and then compared them to present day objects meant for the same use. This book represents just the beginning of our final project. We took photos of the objects as well for students to include with their work. They completed a similar observation after a visit to The Calgary Heritage Park, taking photos at the park to record the object they were to study.<br />

<br />
I have some "How to draw monsters" books in my class that I have taken apart and laminated individual pages. We use those for inspiration for monsters. Sometimes the monsters are a more major art project, students can use different media and we photograph and describe them later in this kind of writing piece.<br />
<br />
See document here for some samples of 'learn to draw" ideas to print.<br />

<br />
So, your 5 or 6 or 7 year old is heading to (or will be heading to) French immersion for the first time and you want to help them at home? Where to start? Here are a few ideas.<br />
<br />
<div>
<h2>
<b>1. Learn some french songs</b>. </h2>
I'm going to suggest that you don't even have to translate them or tell your child, "Okay, now we're going to sing a song in French", just do it. When I have your child in class for the first time I sing everything, we sing a song to come to the carpet, to line up, to call out our class puppet, to clean up the toys. Initially the children just listen, enjoy the tune, and with some prompting and actions start to do what I do. With time they begin to understand some key words and may ask what the rest means. You can even start with some familiar English tunes using French words. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />

Here is one of the more <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/comptines">popular playlists by Comptines</a>, lyrics are highlighted as they are sung.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2>
<b>2. Colours, shapes, body parts, animals.</b></h2>
This vocabulary is what we start with in my class. Grab a visual dictionary (I have some <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2012/10/les-couleurs.html">here</a> and <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/p/vocabulary-tools.html">here</a> for you), type the words you don't know how to pronounce into a text-to-speech tool like google translate and you're ready. Again, I don't suggest telling your little one, "Now we're going to learn French" as you whip out your sheet. Keep it as authentic as possible. When getting dressed point to a colour on their clothing and proclaim, "C'est bleu." They might look at you quizzically, repeat blue, this is blue, c'est bleu. Do the same when you read books (even if they're in English), when you go on outings, or when you eat a snack. </div>

<div>
<h2>
<b>3. Numbers</b></h2>
Brush up on your high school French and learn to count to at least 10. Count items as you tidy up, as you button up a shirt, as you eat a bowl of strawberries. Remember The Count from Sesame Street? Channel that guy. Oh, and once they've got that down count backwards, skip count by 2, or identify numbers out of order. Here's a little <a href="http://youtu.be/lsc3qLMaCu8">song to help you out</a>. You can find cards to print with the numbers <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2012/02/les-numeros-mots-et-cadre-de-dix.html">here</a>. Have your child pick a number and make a set of that many (3 bey blades, legos, hair clips).<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2>
<b>4. Make mistakes.</b></h2>
<b></b>You've been calling an apple une banane, your child gets to school and you realize your error? Oh well. It's ok. You won't ruin them. Your interest in their education has already communicated the message to your little learner, I love you, I support you, I'll help you, I'm interested in you and I care about your learning. If their teacher has a conniption smile sweetly and silently forgive him/her in your heart. You're doing great.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2>
<b>5. Get a *new* puppet who only speaks and understands French.</b></h2>
(Kinda special, think elf on the shelf magic). We always have one in my classrooms. We've had a bunny called "Petit Lapin" and one year a puppy. The puppet can live in a fancy box or bag and to call him or her out you have to sing a little song; "Petit lapin, petit lapin, viens jouer." (Little rabbit, little rabbit, come out and play). We sing it softly, loudly, annoyingly, they love it. The puppet might want to point to things and get excited when you say the colour in French (my puppets don't talk but they react to what the children do and say). It might want to count things in your child's room or hear you sing a song and snuggle up to your child when they sing in French.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2>
<b>6. But I want to see them with a pencil in their hand!</b></h2>
Okay, sure, you can go there. Just remember that even in an actual classroom writing and letters and reading happens (or should happen) in an authentic way. A special journal or book for drawing about your day is a good place to start (begin with crayons or fat pencils). Ask your child to tell you about their picture. You can scribe what they say exactly in English (I love doing this, their words and stories are priceless) and then label a handful of items on the actual picture. Start in English and then look some up in French. Even if you don't name anything in French you are still modeling the writing process, maybe telling a little story and forming letters. Do they want to print? Super. Write out a word with a highlighter and have them trace it (better than dots). Not ready to print? Do not worry. It's okay, Colour, bead, roll snakes with playdough, pick up things with tweezers and strengthen those little fingers! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Your super star can already print their name and more? Awesome-sauce, give them a pencil, some letter cards or pictures of family members with their names on them. Wherever they are, go from there. Don't compare or stress or obsess (tough I know). I get to teach kindergarten and grade 1 and then often see my students again in grade 4 when I work as a guest teacher. I have seen first hand that kids speed ahead sometimes and linger in one spot at other times. They're not behind, they're lingering and will sprint ahead when they're ready. Let 'em linger.<br />

<br />
I recently came across these <a href="http://teachingtricksonline.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/french-immersion-alphabet-art/">letters-of-the-alphabet crafts in French</a> over at "Teaching Tricks Online". Cutting, pasting and following directions are valuable school skills as well. Glue each one in order into a scrapbook. When you come across more words (French and English) that begin with a certain letter, draw or print them on the right page. Glue in photos of family members and friends and write their names too (real world language is the goal). The previous links to printable words (# 2) with pictures will also have little books to make and read together. No one said you have to start with A and go in order to Z, learn the letters and sounds in their name, a friend's name, your city, keep it real.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2>
<b>7. Read.</b></h2>
Notice I didn't say read in French. Just read. Reading is key. If children learn to associate reading with comforting, close times, quiet moments with someone who loves them they will go back to reading for those same reasons (and more) time and time again. Reading teaches children to love learning, to increase their vocabulary, to begin to learn that words and books move left to right, and to begin to see that letters represent sounds and make meaning. If you need convincing check out this <a href="http://vimeo.com/105389397">video celebrating International Literacy Day</a> that <a href="http://calgaryreads.com/">Calgary Reads</a> just put out. Brilliant.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2>
<b>8. Where's the technology?</b></h2>
Okay, really, do they need more screen time? I know all kinds of apps and games and videos but my goal here is to have you learning and interacting with your kiddo. Even in class I keep the screen time to a minimum. Yep, there are stories and games and tricks and videos but my hope is that you'll use those minimally. Check out <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/babybilingual/apps-for-kids-french/">Sarah's Pinterest Board of French apps</a> and books for a place to start. <a href="http://about.me/sylviaduckworth">Sylvia Duckworth</a> is a Canadian teacher who does a thorough job of reviewing apps for students (and she's just all around awesome), check out her blog post <a href="http://frenchappsforkids.blogspot.ca/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
What do you think teachers and parents? Do you have some creative and fun ways to support a kindergarten or grade 1 student new to French immersion?</div>

Students make their own rainforest layers using construction paper (my first choice), then add the animals to each layer (the file includes animals to cut out).<br />
<br />
See an example on the Teacher Bits and Bobs blog <a href="http://teacherbitsandbobs.blogspot.ca/search/label/rainforest%20layers">here</a>. For my group, being correct about which layer an animal spends most of their time in was less important than discussing and explaining choices. When the rainforest floods piranhas may find themselves up in the canopy rather than on the forest floor.<br />

Precede with 2 videos from "Frozen". First is an introduction to Olaf the snowman (in French but very little speaking). The second is Olaf the snowman imagining what it might be like to be a snowman in summer.<br />

Here's an overview of mine.<br />
<br />
September to December we review the letter sounds from kindergarten using Jolly Phonics. Sound blends are introduced over 10 weeks beginning in January.<br />
<br />
Guided reading routines begin in March.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">1) <b>I</b></span><b style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">ntroduce the letter sound and action</b> (from Jolly Phonics). Each sound is a specific colour.<br />
<br />
In school these cards did not have English explanations. Neither did the stories as posted below. I have changed those for tutoring purposes and for families who want to help but feel lost when they don't speak French.<br />

<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">4) </span><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><b>Read the story together</b>. </span>There are spots to spell the words and images to help as we read.<br />
<br />
In my classroom these simple stories were on 1 sheet of paper, no booklet, and we had 3 "levels" of difficulty for various student ability.<br />
<br />
As I prepare the resources I will post the stories. I can't post Jolly Phonics resources but they are available from their site <a href="http://www.jollyworks.ab.ca/">here</a>.<br />

<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">8) <b>S</b></span><b style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">tamp the sound blends on our hand</b> (mine too), it lasts for a couple days and is a reminder of the sound of the week.<br />

Depending on where they're at practice spelling the words. In grade 1 students were to bring home their duotang, read the story and each page was stamped with a "please sign and return" note for parents.<br />
<br />
9) Each week I send something in the mail, a note, a cartoon using our words, a postcard in French.<br />
<br />

Periodically we review past sounds, words, stories to see if it's "sticking". We can also spend time reading home reading books from school together. The first goal is reading, then spelling, then writing.<br />
<br />
This is the progression I hope to work through.<br />

At the time we had a team of Francophone assistants who went to each class and worked with small groups of students. Each classroom had 4 French speaking adults for an hour block! The program can still work by teaching the mini lessons to the whole class and then working on differentiated levels of stories in small groups.<span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">We also had quick assessment check lists, each group leader did an assessment at the end of the week with each student. This gave a quick snapshot of who had mastered a sound and who needed some extra review. We had 4 grade 1 classes and kept the literacy block cohesive and structured. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">In January we began a guided reading routine. That's another post!</span><br />

Rocky View Schools has generated a list of grade level words that students are expected to be able to read as sight words by the end of each grade. These word banks serve as part of our reading assessment. Many of the grade 1 district words are in the short stories teachers have created. I have added support materials that include the grade 2 and 3 words for the students I work with in those grades. Everything isn't posted yet but it is comin'!<br />

For that reason I print and laminate <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bxi-Avemu8ekRjNlaUtFZUZZOGs/edit?usp=sharing">these posters</a> 11x17 and line them up under the calendar. We tally everything and practice counting using authentic data, our birthdays, our lost teeth, the days at school and so on. Bring on the dry erase markers.<br />
<br />
You need a wide format printer to print to 11x17, print to your school photocopier or submit online to <a href="http://www.staplescopyandprint.ca/">Staples Print and Copy Centre</a>.<br />

You can find the post on our wiki <a href="http://k1frenchimmersionbestpractices.pbworks.com/w/page/64418910/L'espace">here</a>.<br />
<br />
My students enjoyed the <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/microgravity/home/toys-in-space.html">Toys in Space question</a>; how would toys operate in zero gravity? Could you still play? How would the "game" have to be modified? There are a few different NASA videos using toys, my collection was slightly different (it was circa 2003!).<br />

First was <a href="https://twitter.com/MrDKeenan">Derek Keenan's</a> post about a pedagogical oath and what one might look like. Then came a post from <a href="https://twitter.com/davidwees">DavidWees</a> about <a href="http://davidwees.com/content/ten-commandments-teachers">10 Teacher Commandments</a>. Finally, a post from <a href="https://twitter.com/Edudemic">Edudemic</a> about the <a href="http://edudemic.com/2013/03/the-10-skills-modern-teachers-must-have/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed">10 Skills Modern Teachers Must Have</a>. <br />

Using your provincial recommended resource, <a href="http://www.mathmakessense.ca/">Pearson Math Makes Sense</a>, or <a href="http://www.cheneliere.ca/2760-livre-cheneliere-mathematiques.html">Chenalière</a> in French, is especially helpful when teaching math. You get an idea of how long each concept should take, lessons are clear and assessment is included. As you gain experience you will certainly want supplement this resource, I have found it to be a great place to start.<br />
<br />
Pearson provides this suggested timing chart for the year in each resrouce binder for each year (look under the planning and assessment tab, unit planning), very helpful for long range planning.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I've never had a math textbook for students but the teacher's guide and PDFs have always been available.<br />
<br />
Each edition has a CD, I suggest installing it onto your laptop and home computer so that you always have it for quick reference (same for the provincial Social Studies resource).<br />

and complete the post-unit rubric, I send the completed rubric home stapled to assignment and quiz samples, it has some notes from me and parents are asked to sign it and return it. I find these 2 documents make report cards much easier. I keep these handy during student-led conferences.<br />

The workshop is free, plan to arrange for classroom or school funds to buy the kit(s). Lessons, assessment ideas and templates are free and downloadable online from their website. The kit is not available in French but the templates are in French online.<br />
<br />
They do a good job of integrating some of the health and PE outcomes. Good for those days when the gym isn't available because of a Christmas concert or special presentation, great for sub days. I do at least one Power to Play project per term, and keep it prepped in my sub file. A pre-made, canned resource may not hit the inquiry and Project Based note but it's helpful when you're sick and can't plan.<br />

Students and parents may complete a multiple intelligences assessment at the beginning of the year. This <a href="http://kids.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Multiple_Intelligence_Test_for_Children#">link</a> contains online assessments for children and adults as well as a printable version (pictured here). By getting to know your students this way early in the year you; gain the trust and confidence of parents, are mindful of the varying strengths of your students, have already addressed some of the learning outcomes related to life learning choices in the Health (Life Skills) Program of Studies. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Your school may promote special programs like <a href="http://www.theleaderinme.org/">The 7 Habits Leader in Me</a> or <a href="http://education.gov.ab.ca/charactered/">The Heart of the Matter Character Education and Citizenship</a> or <a href="http://www.bucketfillers101.com/">Bucket Fillers</a>. Wherever possible look for natural integration of school wide initiatives into your learning outcomes so that these initiatives aren't "extra" but are truly part of your program.<br />

<br />
I did this workshop 13 years ago and still love this resource. It keeps you away from months of tag and dodgeball games and gives the non-athlete a very easy template to follow.<br />
<br />
Best, best, best feature; at the end of the unit students choose their level of performance assessment. It describes how to set up the assessment and students can self score whether or not they met their goal (ie: basketball, throw the ball with proper shooting technique 10 times and hit anywhere on the back board, record how many you achieve out of 10). It's differentiated, self-directed, you can level-up, love it.<br />

École Edwards Physical Education School-wide long range plan.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Although this school wide LRP is not very specific, having a school wide long range plan means that time is saved taking out and putting away equipment. For gymnastics units the equipment stays out and is set up for the entire month. This was an extremely efficient way to use our physical education time and to be sure we were meeting the goals of the <a href="http://education.alberta.ca/teachers/resources/dpa.aspx">Daily Physical Activity Initiative (DPA)</a>.<br />

Sample report card for grade 1 French and English. Be sure you know what needs to be included (ie: on this one how will you generate an effort mark? Is that mark about behaviour? Will you teach each math strand every term? Do you need to report every area every term? Does your grade team need to report the same outcomes every term?)<br />

(they post their long range plans for parents on their school site, fantastic practice in my mind - would require some 'seeking first to understand' on the part of parents ie: when and why teachers will deviate from the plan).<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I had a reader ask about whether or not we use The Daily Five in kindergarten and what that looks like in a French Immersion kindergarten class (another post has some of my <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2012/01/les-cinq-au-quotidien.html">printable materials here</a>). I <i>have</i> taught kindergarten but <i>have not</i> used the daily 5 in K. The teachers at our school do begin the Daily 5 (somewhat modified) in Kindergarten. In some classes the 5 are added as centres during centre time. Initially they spend 20 minutes at each centre (hopefully 30 by January). Here are my thoughts based on what I've done with grade 1s and what my colleagues have done in kindergarten.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">You will also find great information by getting on Twitter - yes twitter!! And asking that question of your PLN or pose the question to the #frimm hashtag. #Frimm is the tag for Canadian (and other) French Immersion teachers. Twitter is my google. ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Books and songs on tape or online with the lyrics or words highlighted as they read.

My <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/frenchvideoplaylists">YouTube playlist</a> for K isn't totally up-to-date but here are the links (<i>*beware I just had a quick look and some of the ads posted before the videos are borderline inappropriate, argh! what to do?</i>):</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jan.-June. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lyrics of songs students have learned so far are bound in a book and include images to go with the words when possible. Students use a pointer or magnifying glass to follow along as they sing. They LOVE it that they can 'read' these songs. It really does increase the French sight words they know.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Students make <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2011/01/class-collaborative-books.html">collaborative books</a> and finish-me books throughout the year. The class books are kept in the class library and the students like to 'read' these familiar sentences written by one another. The finish-me books stay in their book boxes, they are sent home each term.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Examples of the finish-me books we made in grade 1 for our colour unit are <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2012/10/les-couleurs.html">here</a>. I haven't posted all of the ones we used for Kindergarten. Most of these I made or modified from english materials. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">J'ÉCRIS</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Students have a journal and use them right away in kindergarten. At first they draw and I come around and have them describe their picture, I try to label 1 or 2 simple things in their picture and have them copy the word beside. Eventually they draw items from the vocabulary we're learning and label their own drawing. I teach specific simple sentence structures in K and the beginning of grade 1, it goes a bit like this:</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sept:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">J'aime + their favourite colour. (J'aime le rouge.)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">J'aime + a friend's name or maman or papa. (J'aime Maman.)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Oct: Voici + a friend's name and (Voici Shannon et Janna.)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nov: Voici + anything they find the word for in the room + c'est _________ (the colour). (Voici un cercle. C'est jaune.)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The rest is described <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2012/01/sentence-structures-we-know-visual.html">here</a> (I may not have them all posted but this will get you started).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">** Quick note to add, when teaching grade 1 I most often begin the Daily 5 time at the work on writing station. The students and I talk about what they might write about. I ask questions and then repeat their answers in complete sentences using the sentence structures we know or focusing the newest structure, especially from Sept.-Dec. For example if we're learning food vocabulary:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>"Les amis, qu'est-ce que vous n'aimez pas manger? Quel est le repas le plus désagréable pour vous?"</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Souvent les amis me réponds en anglais:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<i>I hate broccoli. I do not like cooked carrots. Eww me too.</i><br />
<br />
Donc je réponds:<br />
<br />
<i>"Ah voilà, Je n'aime pas le broccoli. J'aime les carottes. Je n'aime pas les carottes cuites." Les amis, pouvez-vous répéter avec moi ce que notre amie aime et ce qu'elle n'aime pas?" </i><br />
<br />
And we repeat the sentences together, pointing out the foods on a visual or wherever we might have the target vocabulary posted.<br />
<br />
Inevitably there are new words to add, I write these in their <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2012/01/sentence-structure-in-grade-1.html">personal fold-out dictionary</a> at the back of their journal. We do this for a few minutes so that I've modeled some sentences. Early on in K or 1 if students are still simply labeling I ask about their drawings, say the French words of a few items, write the words beside their picture and then have them write the word again themselves. We work on the routine of having student read their entry to one another and then to me.<br />
<br />
Once this routine is well established (and depending on the self-directed skills of the group at work on writing!) I move over to the read to someone station and listen to children read, making notes and intervening where needed.<br />

I use this <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bxi-Avemu8ekWEM1b1dmc3BRY3VHZHp6ck1Pem9DZw/edit?usp=sharing">clear target assessment tool </a>(blank ones are also in this file) to have a look at the students writing and to review with them where they are struggling in writing (beginning, middle end is for grade 3). For overall writing assessment however I use the reading and writing (and speaking continuums posted <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2012/02/un-controle-continu-de-lecriture-et-la.html">here</a>). Parents get a copy each term, sign it and return it. A highlighted copy stays in the child's file and a copy is sent home for parents and student.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Using words from around the room, <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/p/vocabulary-tools.html">word strips or visual dictionaries</a> students choose from about 4 or 5 ways to practice spelling words (with play dough stampers, stamps, magnetic letters, clothes pins). An example of these activities are <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2012/03/daily-five-work-with-words.html">here</a>. I made kits for teachers in grade 1 and K, the students really love them. There is some teaching that needs to go into how to use them, how to put them away properly and how to care for all the parts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have learning buddies and are paired with student once a week from grade 1 or 2. We write collaborative books every month. Students all do the same page of a book but add their own words. We practice 'reading' the sentence and then read to our buddies. Students also keep a book box of songs and finish-me books that go with our theme. They sing or read these books to their buddy. In Sept.-Dec. yes, the students have memorized the words but we still have them "read", track the words with their finger and practice fluency. From January-June students begin to be able to read simple books and many are at different levels. For more about what kinds of books we begin with in kindergarten please see the post on this blog <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2012/11/bibliotheque-de-salle-de-classe.html">here</a>. </span></div>

Here it is all in one place, poems, songs, writing, art we did in grade 1 around the theme of winter and Christmas (with some 5 senses and seasons outcomes in there). Winter unit materials are listed here along with several 'work on writing' options for students. Posted exemplars of completed writing projects and booklets are often helpful for students during independent writing time. <br />

In grade 1 students add the names of their friends and what they like to do in the snow. Students learn to add "ent" to the end of verbs when more than one person is doing the action; jouent, glissent, lancent des boules, roulent.</div>
<div>
<br />
We use this sentence structure in our daily journals too.<br />
<br />
Students are encouraged to label their drawings as in K and in grade 1 enjoy adding speech bubbles to the characters in their picture.<br />

As we listen and later sing along students find and circle sound blends we know, ie: 'on', 'an', 'eu', 'oi', 'ette', 'eau', 'en', 'ou'.<br />
<br />
We learn the sounds using the Jolie phonique images and hand actions. This <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/arenasalmu/jolly-phonics#btnNext">slide share</a> gives you an overview of the <a href="http://jollylearning.co.uk/">Jolly Phonics program.</a><br />

L'hiver collage - art project.<br />
<br />
We all started with many shades of blue paper for the base, a road and dotted line. Then we built cities from scraps, newspaper, foil, and finally plastic snow bits. See the post <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2011/01/il-neige.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
This idea came from a great art site <a href="http://www.deepspacesparkle.com/2009/03/27/city-at-night-skyline-collage/">Deep Space Sparkle.</a><br />

Read the story <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Snowballs-Lois-Ehlert/dp/0152020950">Snowballs by Lois Ehlert</a>. Here is a site with some ideas for <a href="http://www.famili.fr/,mini-kiosque-d-hiver,823,11111.asp#?slide=25">French winter titles</a>. Her books are beautiful so I'd read it even though it's in English.<br />

Sing the song and learn the poem <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bxi-Avemu8ekeVBYaUhjb1RTU1U">"Rouli, roula".</a> I recorded it just so you can get the tune, it sounds pretty silly!<br />

Photocopy budgets are always shrinking, perhaps many of these books and ideas can be inspiration for something of the students own creation. I find that in grade 1 a blank page can be intimidating for students, hopefully these can at least be a place to start when students are working on writing during The Daily Five.<br />

These series are used for Daily Five, home reading and guided reading. The classroom libraries are well rounded with both these types of levelled series of books, trade books, fiction and non-fiction.<br />
<br />
Most of the series are followed by a link to the publisher's website.<br />
<br />
Depending on your school's philosophy you may or may not decide to level your book collections. A handy website for this task is <a href="http://www.atelier.on.ca/cfmx/edu/core.cfm?p=gradation.cfm&navID=gradation&L=2">Atelier</a>. You can type in just about any title and any publisher and this site will suggest a level that encompasses them all (many publishers use their own levelling system and they are rarely consistent across the different series).<br />
<br />
In terms of best practice there is evidence that a book levelling system, especially when it segregates students and limits their book selection, is less than beneficial to students. The authenticity of this process has also been called into question as students transition from levelled books to the selection of books themselves for the pleasure of reading. Please refer to the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Leveled-Books-Second-Szymusiak/dp/1571107142">Bey</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Leveled-Books-Second-Szymusiak/dp/1571107142">ond Levelled Books</a> by <span style="background-color: white;">Franki Sibberson and Karen Szymusiak to explore this further.</span></span><br />

The Learning Commons teacher at École Edwards (librarian) is fantastic and supports teachers with ordering. She knows what students like and how to guide students to books they might enjoy and be able to read. As the younger classes come to the Learning Commons, they can choose their own books but are also encouraged to choose at least 1 French "I can read" book. She has tables of books at the students' level to help with book selection.<br />

<br />
<br />
Speaking French (or any second language) at school is like learning a new habit. We are in the habit of speaking English. We need to learn the habit of speaking French. It isn't easy.<br />
<br />
Incentive and reward programs are a bad idea. They don't work. Just fire up Netflicks and watch "<a href="http://www.freakonomics.com/books/">Freakanomics</a>" (or read the book) and you'll hear the reasons why. Some quick reasons are the following:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>there is no credible data that shows that they work</li>
<li>they set up internal competition</li>
<li>people always (always) find ways to cheat the system</li>
<li>reward programs undermine teamwork and cooperation</li>
<li>they create cynics and losers</li>
<li>they don't create a lasting commitment, they are temporary</li>
</ul>
<br />
Who's really up for arguing with <a href="http://www.fbe.hku.hk/Programme/Undergraduate/doc/courses/2011-2012/BUSI0029A/R7-Why%20Incentive%20Plans%20Cannot%20Work.pdf">Alfie Kohn</a>, author of the article I got the above statements from? Certainly not this little 'ole teacher.<br />
<br />
So.<br />
<br />
How do we get them to speak French? I think the REAL answer might be <a href="http://www.aimlanguagelearning.com/">AIM language training</a>, but we'll need to put that aside for now (I don't have it but I plan to).<br />
<br />
You are in a French Immersion class now, you know your shoddy award program isn't working, what do you do?<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Enter the Button Game (grade 1 January):</span></b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Each student gets 10 buttons in a container with a lid (the ziploc bags were a nightmare)</li>
<li>The focus is to use the words we know. By this time in the year there is an understanding among the class about what might be the words we know.</li>
<li>If a student hears someone using an English word, and they are pretty certain that it is a 'word we know' they have to provide the French word, "Non Shannon, ce n'est pas je <i>walked</i> à l'école, c'est je marche." and then politely say, "Donne moi un bouton s'il vous plaît."</li>
<li>You can only take away a button from the same person once in the day. It was my son who proudly proclaimed I LOVE sitting beside so-and-so, she ALWAYS speaks in English, I got 7 buttons from her in 10 minutes. Yeesh.</li>
<li>We play for a week frantically exchanging buttons. </li>
<li>Button taking is not allowed during a lesson, a student presentation, or carpet time, that just got crazy, it was mostly for during group work, independent work time, snack, lunch.</li>
<li>At the end of the week we counted buttons and students recorded their personal button count.</li>
<li>Is there a winner? Sort of. Whoever has the most buttons at the end of the week is now a button GIVER, they can't TAKE buttons the following week, now they can only reward with a button. If they hear their peers speaking in French during those independent times, in the hallway, in groups, at snack and lunch they can give them a button.</li>
<li>The teacher gives and takes buttons too. The button GIVER can count up their buttons but if they still have the most buttons at the end of the next week we go down to the next highest button getter and make them a GIVER"</li>
<li>By the end of several weeks there are lots of GIVERS and still some takers. We only play for a month or 2, otherwise it got distracting and we all lost our zeal for the whole idea.</li>
</ol>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The problems:</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh the problems.</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>students will take buttons from some classmates and not others (ie: their friends)</li>
<li>students will bring buttons from home to beef up their stash (this never happened that I know of but, it totally could right?)</li>
<li>students will reward only their friends</li>
<li>students will argue</li>
<li>students will lie (I didn't know pencil was "mon crayon")</li>
<li>some students decided not to say anything for fear of saying an English word, there were a few quiet weeks, they eventually got over it . . . </li>
</ul>
<div>
So shoot me now terrible teacher but my partner teacher and I did do this game in grade 1. We dealt with the problems. We talked to students about self-regulating, that the goal was to get in the habit of speaking French and to remind them that they do know lots of words, not all the words, but lots.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The gains:</span></b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>everyone knew about and was talking about the button game, the students, the grade 2s, the parents, the mailman, buttons were all the rage, it was exciting, it really was</li>
<li>students were hyper mindful about the 'words we know' AND heaven forbid we do a unit about animals and learn some new words, MADAME WE KNOW THOSE ONES TOO</li>
<li>students spoke more French, it became a habit, do I have any data, ummm, er . . . no Mr. Kohn I do not have data . . .</li>
</ul>
<div>
But is it really a reward? Can we call it a gentle reminder program? A habit inducing idea? A button bonanza? I know, probably not, let's consider this post more a documentation of what happened rather than a suggestion of best practice (I am so the worst teacher ever).</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hopefully this post will generate some ideas, feedback, very few scathing comments, and maybe some button excitement just to spice up those dreary cold January and February months.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Safe to say Alfie Kohn probably doesn't subscribe to my RSS feed so let's say we keep this between us and our few hundred twitter followers hmmm?</div>

One tip, if you want to go back and edit what a character says you have to delete anything after that character. So, if I did want to go back, I copied and pasted my dialogue to a word document alongside, made my changes and then pasted back in the rest of may story.<br />
<br />
A bit of a nasty work around for young students. However, a great teaching moment about the usefulness of drafts and then the final step of publishing.<br />
<br />
Publishing.<br />
<br />
Wikipedia needs an update. It's not an industry anymore, it's a button!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">she gave teachers the time to be better.</span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I want teachers to be better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's the teacher that counts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not the tech.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not the degree.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not the school.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not the admin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not the school district's mission, vision, policy or hiring practice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not even the question of public school or private (dammit!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's the teacher who makes it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A great teacher will be a great teacher in a dusty hut, an uninspiring teacher will be uninspiring in a beautiful building with lots of funding in a first world, la-dee-dah private school.</span><br />

<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I want teachers to be better.</span></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="line-height: 18px;"><strong><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Knowledge</span></strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">. Get connected and you'll get the knowledge. Do it now.</span></li>

What are teachers spending most of their time doing? Stop having them do that and start giving them time to plan and implement great projects for students.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">(things to stop, marking, testing, planning if it's been done before, learning new grade assignments, paperwork that has nothing to do with teaching kids, unorganized record keeping)</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I didn't want the world to be my classroom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I wanted my world to be a small start up business in which I get to hire only the </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">best</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> most </span><span style="color: orange; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">effective</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">, </span><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">optimistic</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">, </span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">delightful</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">, </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">hard working</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">, </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">passionate</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> people. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It isn't like that. </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The world is a classroom</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">. Some of the people are going to be skilled, some will not. Some will bring happy positive energy to everyone they meet, some will not. Some will know how to be better, some will not. My children's teachers may not be the start-up new hires I dream of. If success is a question of contribution rather than one of achievement, what will I contribute to make the classroom better? </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The <a href="http://www.learnnowbc.ca/default.aspx">University of Victoria</a> made me a part of their classroom. <a href="https://twitter.com/_valeriei">Valerie Irvine</a> posted her graduate studies course online, free for anyone. I shouldn't be in her classroom. It's kinda over my head. I haven't taken the time to read all of the material, watch all the videos, and I won't finish by the end of this week as the course suggests. Doesn't matter. <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ceetopen">#CEETopen</a> let me in. So did <a href="https://twitter.com/verenanz">Verena Roberts</a>. They let anyone in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And that's how I came up with my sentence. So thank you <a href="http://www.learnnowbc.ca/">Learn Now BC</a>, UVic, CEET Meets, twitter, and <a href="http://tie.uvic.ca/">#tietalk</a>. I'm enjoying this leg of my Tweetucation. </span><br />

Gives an up close, at-your-desk example of the sentence structure we are learning. The words to use for the students own sentence are represented as a picture. I started doing this for a few students who had a very tough time generating their own writing. This was a good differentiation for them, rather than a blank page and an example up on a wall or white board.<br />
<br />
These were cut up and in a bin for free choice too, some students I glued them in ahead of time, for others they were available if a student wanted.<br />

We had a kitchen centre with food divided into containers depending on the food group, the bowls for each group were labeled. As an exit game each student draw a food item from our plastic collection. They tell us something about it in a complete sentence to go for snack, "C'est un orange, je n'aime pas les oranges. Voici une banane, c'est jaune."</div>

I had a tough time finding a good photo of the centres chart I used. This one you can kind of see. Morning names down one side, afternoon down the other. The centres are down the middle.<br />
<br />
Here are the <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bxi-Avemu8ekNlU1bzVGY2JSMWs">centre cards</a> I used. I think I used the smaller ones as the big ones took up too much room in the pocket chart. I permanently glued and laminated #s onto coloured cards leaving room to sticky tack the centre cards on, that way they can change, be re-used.<br />

There are a whole bunch, changed them depending on the centres we had in the room. Enlarged these to put near corresponding centre or on the bin, tray their materials were on so students knew where to go.<br />

These <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bxi-Avemu8ekVndrbC0xOExJUk0">classroom leader cards</a> need to be printed to photo sized cards 4x6, I know that's a pain, I'll try to repost it onto 8.5x11. They fit perfectly into the CD cover envelopes and the picture shows through the window.<br />

John and I both used this <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bxi-Avemu8ekY1A3aGZtNnhVd1k">self tracking sheet</a>. Students coloured the centre as they completed it. They also tracked their partners. Kind of like the beginning of self-evaluation and self-directed learning.<br />
<br />
It was a lot of work BUT I am glad to have it now to know what centres we did, I think you will find up to February. I also used this to jot down the partners, often students and parents complained their child was never/always with so-an-so this way I had a record.<br />
<br />
Some of these I wouldn't do now, I have evolved! This is still handy for reference.<br />

Things I would change, I would have photos of students on their name cards for sure in K, if the centre image doesn't also have the name I would add it (je peins, je bricole . . . ). <br />

This is k calendar set up. Rather than have everyone sit through the whole process all year once they are independent it would be a centre for students to set up and do with a partner.<br />

The <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bxi-Avemu8ekaXBYNXBrTGdjZG8">colour unit visual dictionary</a> includes "foncé" and "pâle". Even before we learn those terms students may use them in their journals. One of the <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2012/01/sentence-structures-we-know-visual.html">sentence structures</a> we learn early on is "Voici + a noun, c'est + a colour".<br />

Begin by giving students trays and pipettes and ask, how many different colours can you make from red, blue and yellow? You don't need the cool <a href="http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/color-mixing-tray">Steve Spangler trays</a>, you can use ice cube trays. Pipettes, food colouring, and an open-ended question - what could be more fun?<br />
<br />
The link will give you more details on how to proceed.<br />

Let your grade 1 students paint the first week of school. Get the paint pallets above for a dollar from the dollar store and quit being scared of paint.<br />
<br />
This book is fun, self-explanatory. Grab a visual dictionary, pick a colour, paint and print. Don't make them colour. We don't colour stuff. This is about teaching the routine of using paints and learning the colours. PAINT!<br />

Pop out only the primary colour pucks and have them mix on a plastic lid to get the other colours. It will be messy. The pucks can be rinsed off (this is the cover of the texture book).

1. By large paper on sale at Michaels' really big and maybe cut it. These were .40 each, not easy to find.<br />
<br />
2. Tape the sides to your art boards with painters tape (have a parent volunteer do this for you). Gail at www.thatartistwoman.org will explain <a href="http://www.thatartistwoman.org/2012/07/in-style-of-lichtenstein.html">how to make art boards</a>.<br />
<br />
3. Trace with pencil those card boards shapes you can find at Michael's, keep it simple.<br />
<br />
4. Demonstrate how to overlap and then erase the lines behind (this is tough for gr. 1, go around and model).<br />
<br />

5. Talk about having things face different directions, go off the edge, overlap (oh look, elements and principles of design!!).<br />
<br />
6. Trace with Sharpies (I know, sharpies, in grade 1, cray-zay).<br />
<br />
7. Give each pair pf students <b>2 primary colours</b>. They paint <b>INSIDE</b> their designs with both colours. Only once <b>BOTH</b> are finished they mix up their paint and paint the back ground the resulting <b>SECONDARY</b> colour.<br />

8. Once dry peel back the tape, check out that beautiful crisp white border. Post them in the library. Gorgeous. Make sure you plaster the wall with the science outcome: We mixed primary colours to make secondary colours.<br />

I usually refer to this unit or these materials under the heading "night creatures" and use them in October (some schools, communities may choose not to celebrate Halloween). This unit coincides with math topics around 2D shapes and vocabulary for grades K-2 French Immersion.<br />
<br />
We make a lot of mini books in K and grade 1. They don't encourage creativity BUT we are trying to fill our read-to-self boxes for Daily Five with some books we CAN read. Students take them home to read. They are successful early on in French Immersion with words they know.<br />

Students begin to become aware of the plural form of words, a great mini lesson topic for Daily Five Work on Writing.</div>

<br />
This may seem like busy work but if students colour all of the pumpkins orange and count using the booklet they are practising counting by twos - something I assess for first term.</div>

Math journal (coincides with story below - FYI adopting a spider is mentioned in the story). Use punches, stickers, students make their own. Subtraction or addition.<br />

Five simple words to remind students how to pick "just right" books to read during Daily 5 (or any time). Thanks to Madame Richards who posted the acronym CRICC. <br />
<br />
Here's my <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bxi-Avemu8ekY0ZfYktaQjZBTzQ">visual</a> and <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bxi-Avemu8ekcEloYWlRSzdadFk">labels</a> to help students remember. (More Daily Five posts on this blog can be found <a href="http://madamebellefeuille.blogspot.ca/2012/01/les-cinq-au-quotidien.html">here</a>.)<br />

What do you use? Do you have something better? I'd love to hear about it!<br />
