These fun and engaging posters aim to foster independence and autonomy in the French Immersion classroom for your young K-2 students. Posters are used as visual cues and reminders of morning routines helping students to do things on their own. Ideal for the Kindergarten to Grade 2 classroom.

I use these posters in my cubby area as a visual checklist for students each day as they arrive. I also post visual cues for work time with the order of operations for each task. 1. write your name, 2. colour, 3. cut, 4. glue, and 5. raise your hand. The order is for you to choose.

When my students are brand new to cutting and pasting into scrapbooks they: write their name, cut, raise their hand (so I can check before they glue), glue, and then colour. It’s entirely up to you!

Posters include:

Each poster great graphics so students can easily associate the picture with the action. Clear step by step instructions. Regular sized poster so you can copy and go, or larger sized numbers and cards for placing into pocket charts.

Slogans included:

Je mange: 1. sac à diner, 2. reste assis, 3. range mon sac, 4. jette les déchets, et 5. nettoie

Je travaille: 1. écris ton nom, 2. découpe, 3. colle, 4. lève la main, et 5. colorie

Le matin: 1. sac à diner, 2. cahier de communication, 3. bouteille d’eau, 4. souliers, et 5. faire le travail matinale

Appropriate audience:

I use these posters in my French Immersion classroom with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students. I feel confident that they could be used for any grade from K-6 and for those students with IEP or special needs learning in a French environment.

I would love to know how you are using this product in your classroom. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have anything to say about this resource. I love helping teachers as much as I can. A product review also is a great way of letting me know, and leaving a review earns you extra credit for more amazing TeachShare products!

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from Kindergarten to Grade Three will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

Students will draw pictures and write short responses as they identify with how their roles and responsibilities change over time. Students will celebrate their similarities and their differences as they meet the expectations of the Ontario Curriculum, including the updates for 2023, for Grade 1 Social Studies. Students are also asked to reflect on how residential schools had an impact on Indigenous families.

Worksheets can act as a starting point for discussion, and as a means to demonstrate their learning. Collect these pages and use them as data for your report card comments for social studies.

Activity pages include:

What I Can Do Changes as I Grow Students will draw a picture of something they could do as a baby, something they can do now, and something they hope to be able to do when they grow up! Discuss how we learn new things as we grow! Writing space is below for differentiation.

My Responsibilities Change as I Grow Students will draw pictures of a responsibility they had as a child, and what their responsibilities may be as a teenager and and adult. Writing space is below for those who would like to share their knowledge with writing.

My Roles Change as I Grow Students will draw a picture (and write if ready) of one of their roles as a child, as a teenager and as an adult. Students will recognize that they have multiple roles. Often the older someone becomes, the more roles they have.

How Would my Role Change? Students will draw a picture and write about how their role in the family would change if there were to be a new baby in the family.

What Happens When we are Not Responsible? Students must think about a responsibility that an adult in their family has. They must also draw and write about what would happen when that responsibility isn't carried out.

Significant Events in our Lives Students create a short timeline of significant events in their lives. Discuss how the addition of a new family member, a move, a new school, new teams, new hobbies etc. may affect how they feel, or how their family routines are affected.

Residential Schools Students are asked to reflect on what they have learned about residential schools and the impact they had on Indigenous families.
