FSLGRA 2019 and 2020

Thank you to all who participated in this year's FSL Global Read Aloud. We hope that you found it a worthwhile and enjoyable experience for you and your students. We've enjoyed seeing the connections and activities you have shared with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. From scratch coding activities, Mystery hangouts, author questions (Merci Annie Bacon!) to break outs, quizizz and artistic opportunities we loved seeing how you and your students connected to and engaged with this year's French books.

We revisited Petite Petra to find verbs, adjectives and nouns. Ss are making strong connections between learning in English and French. We know what an adjective is, so we also know that "les adjectifs" describe or modify a noun ("un nom"). #FRIMM #FSLGRA #FSLGRAmoyen #grade4 pic.twitter.com/TCq091QmQk

10/10 MS: J'aime la fille parce qu'elle a mis les livres en paiement de la nourriture. Elle est une bonne personne. Si elle ne payait pas, la considéreriez-vous comme une voleuse ? #FSLGRA #FSLGRAint

Marivière inspired us to do a schoolyard cleanup! 🗑 We also designed posters and put them up around the school to remind our school community to clean up after themselves. @CBNUpdate #fslgra #fslgraprimaire #eipsreads pic.twitter.com/jrPKz3shGf

Nous avons fait un « remue-méninges » aujourd’hui avec des napperons pour penser à des mots (adjectifs, verbes, noms) qui nous décrivent — ✏️ Voici nos idées! @EliseGravel #FSLGRA #FSLGRAprimaire #frimm pic.twitter.com/QtvPsau3zX

On se demande 🤔 Que pourrait être la petite Pétra? On a beaucoup d’idées! #fslgra #frimm @MariannaCoppo pic.twitter.com/zrpzb9HH7B

Students figured out (on their own!) how to make Spheros "talk" en français & had "Sphero-Astride" narrate her travels. #fslgra #FSLGRAint #PeelEML Another group decided to make it flash as it arrived at each stop along the way! #OwningTheirLearning pic.twitter.com/qHHuNbrTqe

As we wrap up this year's read aloud we invite you to fill out a survey so that we can continue to make the Read Aloud a positive experience for all who participate. bit.ly/FSLGRA19feedback

We are also looking ahead to 2020. Our start date will be October 19, 2020! In preparation, we need book suggestions. The nomination link will remain open until the end of March for all of your suggestions. Voting will begin in Mid-April.

You can also now register for FSLGRA 2020. We will send periodic emails to those who register. This year we are just doing 1 registration to simplify the process. If any changes are needed once you have registered all you need to do is respond to the email you will receive upon registration to inform the organizer.

Finally, I personally would like to thank Tammy, Laura and Renée who volunteered their time and helped organize and lead sections of the Read Aloud. I appreciate the time you gave to make the FSLGRA successful.

We look forward to reading with you again in October!
