I understand students have just returned from the winter break, however, please encourage and remind your child to continue speaking French in class. It is a requirement in the French Immersion program that the student speaks French with his/her peers and responds to the teacher in French throughout the entire instructional day.
With the start of a new year, comes a new points system. When students speak French, they will gain a sticker to be placed on their name tag at the back of their chair. A surprise will be given at the end of the week to the student who accumulated the most stickers. This is not to say that students require a reward to speak French; it should come naturally if they are in the program. However, a little motivation would help.
On the contrary, when a student repeatedly speaks English, even when reminded to speak in French, the student will also accumulate points. Once the student reaches 10 points, a note will be sent home for you to sign, acknowledging that your child needs to make more of an effort using French.
Together, you and I can work as a TEAM to help your child attain a love and motivation to speak French with myself and his/her classmates, as well as learn it. I am already keeping track of some exceptional students who never forget to communicate in French, even outside of class.
