FSLGRA - FSL Global Read Aloud

What a strange and stressful school year 2020-21 has been! We know that the FSL Global Read Aloud has definitely looked a little different this year, and we of course don't know yet what the future holds, but we do have permission to continue in a form that works. Stay tuned for another post with some suggestions for making it work during a pandemic or while continuing blended or virtual teaching. In fact, why not submit your ideas here, if you'd like them included in that post ? We will credit you, of course! The form to nominate books - at any level that will be appropriate for our FSL readers - is now open for your suggestions for a voting shortlist to be shared in May - with final book selections to be finalized then as well, to hopefully allow for school purchasing of at least one copy (i.e. for your library or shared book room) before school is out for the summer - or as soon as you're back for those on a different schedule than we are! French teachers from kindergar...

The countdown is on! In exactly one month the third annual French as a Second Language Global Read Aloud begins! We hope you are as excited about this as we are!  This year probably looks different for many of us. Our September start-ups probably weren't as smooth as they normally are... It certainly wasn't for me here in Ontario. Two weeks into the year and I now have a new assignment: teaching Core French partially online and partially in-person. I hope that you are able to find ways to participate this year whatever your current situation is. Remember that you can connect with other educators in our facebook group, as well as through the social media hashtags. More about that below! Our reading period for all of the levels starts October 19, 2020 and goes until November 27, 2020. This is when the most people participate and when you will be able to make the most connections with other schools. However, start reading when it suits you and your class, and feel free to establi...

Nous nous excusons pour le délai. Il nous a pris un peu trop de temps à publier les informations sur ce site à propos de cette troisième édition annuelle de l’initiative #FSLGRA. Les participants déjà inscrits ont été informés par courriel vers la fin du mois de mai. Twitter reste encore une façon importante pour nous de se communiquer, alors j'espère que la plupart des enseignants ont obtenu les informations dont ils avaient besoin dans ces deux façons. Nous, les organisatrices bénévoles, sommes toutes les deux des enseignantes travaillant à temps plein, gérant l’apprentissage en ligne de nos élèves pendant cette pandémie, en plus des nombreux autres rôles que nous jouons. Nous  reconnaissons qu'il faut essayer de conserver toutes les informations pertinentes dans un endroit central et facilement accessible, donc sans plus tarder ... Voici les trois albums choisis pour les élèves les plus jeunes parmi nos participants. (Comme toujours, les enseignants de n'importe q...

Our apologies for the delay. We're a bit late in getting the most recent information published on our site about this third annual French as a Second Language Global Read Aloud. Registered participants were notified via email back at the end of May and Twitter remains a major method of communication for us, so hopefully most teachers got the information they needed that way. We're both full-time teachers too, managing ongoing education of our students through this pandemic, in addition to the many other roles we play. We recognize that it's important to try to keep the information all in one place, so without further ado... Here are the three selected picture books for the youngest set of our participants. (As always, teachers of any level/grade of French as a second language or additional language may decide to use whichever set of books or either selected novel, as they believe will best suit their students' needs! So middle school and high school teachers are al...

Bonjour! The list of nominees for this year's FSL GLobal Read Aloud is now available. Thank you to everyone who suggested a book! You can find this year's list under the tab VOTE along with the link to the voting form. Voting will remain open until May 17th, 2020 after which we will announce the winners for each category both here and on twitter! Happy Voting!

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 — Krystine Desrosiers (@MmeKrystine) October 17, 2019 10/10 MS: J'aime la fille parce qu'elle a mis les livres en paiement de la n...
