Grade 2

This year, grade 2 students have worked on learning, or will be learning, French vocabulary through several topics. The goal in grade 2 is for students to make sentences by combining known or new vocabulary with a subject and a verb. For instance, instead of simply identifying a cat as "un chat," students are working on saying "I have a cat." (J'ai un chat).

Themes and content areas are listed below, along with links to French videos and resources to support your child's learning. Please use these videos to review topics already covered in class.
