Grade 3

This year, grade 3 students have worked on learning, or will be learning, additional French vocabulary through several topics. We have been working on combining previously learned vocabulary and new words to make complete sentences, including a subject, a verb, a noun, and an adjective. For example, instead of saying "a shirt" (une chemise), students are working on, "I have a professional shirt." (J'ai une chemise professionnelle).

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.
