Second quarter

Dear Parents!

Welcome back to school for the second quarter.

For this coming quarter we will finish Unité 4 and start Unité 5 that talk about food!

This week we will finish Unité 4 and learn the French expression J'ai mal: It hurts. The sentence literally translate as "I have pain" and then we add the body part that aches. We will also review that various body part and thus be able to use the following sentences:

J’ai mal à la tête
J’ai mal au ventre
J’ai mal a l’oreille
J’ai mal au pied
J’ai mal au doigt
Je suis guéri (masculin) Je suis guérie (feminine)

5th grades will also learn the conjugation for the avoir verb and will be able to combine these with the body parts:

J'ai
Tu as
Il a
Elle a
Nous avons
Vous avez
Ils ont
Elles ont

Bonne semaine!
