le français jeudi - le 15 mai

Bonjour, mes amis!  We are finishing up in the ole French class, so I'll remind you about what we did yesterday and today.

Yesterday (mercredi - le 14 mai) nous avons appris beaucoup de vocabulaire concernant la nourriture.  We learned lots of vocab about food.  You can download the sheets and powerpoint below.

Today I gave out the invitations to Pastis!  We are going next Thursday, May 22, the night before school is OUT!  You must complete the tear off and return it to me, and put your check for your meal in the official envelope and put it in the black box in the hall.  Remember there are NO REFUNDS if you can't come! 

Also today we took a Listening Final Exam.  You MUST make this up because it is a BIG portion of this quarter's average!  You scheduled your oral exam, too.  You MUST take your Oral Exam too because it is another HUGE part of your average this quarter.  Your written exam is Wednesday, May 21 at 9:15 a.m.  Don't even think about forgetting to take it!!!!

Étudiez bien!  À demain!
