Journée du Chandail Rose Colouring-Pink Shirt Day Activity-FRENCH Resource

By La trousse de Madame

French Pink Shirt Day FREEBIE

This quick and easy resource is for use near the end of the month of February to recognize Pink Shirt Day. The story behind this day is one that has a positive influence on students as they understand that it is not OK to bully EVER.

I hope you are able to use this resource in your class by quickly making copies and allowing students to use their creativity and unique perspectives to colour and decorate how they see fit.

Personally, I made copies onto pink printer paper in poster size 200% to make two big posters with the title 'Jour du chandail rose' and students have placed their Tshirts around the poster. Older students will also make theirs with a writing piece to explain their views on Pink Shirt Day in French.

Merci:

Thank you for visiting my TeachShare store and for downloading this FREEBIE

How to use this resource:

1. Copy a set for students. I like to copy multiple sets (ie. 3 sets of 8 to insure that students sitting with one another do not have the same page next to them. I find this allows for more creative development as they do not copy their neighbour).

2. Let students colour and create and cut the shape of the Tshirt out

3. Display on a bulletin board or on the wall of your school

JE VOUS SOUHAITE UNE BONNE JOURNEE DU CHANDAIL ROSE

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are looking for French resources who want quick and easy NO PREP materials that their students will love. A fresh new look on a great idea and the best part is you just have to click 'print'.

Students love the clear lettering and can get creative using all the various pink writing materials in the class. I gave my students free reign of anything pink and they came up with their own unique designs.

Students are proud to be a part of a bigger project that they can all display with pride.

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 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.

If you love this resource:

***1. French SOR Sound Cards

***2. French Decodable Reading

***3. Roles et Responsabilites

***4. French Number Line

***5. French Attention Grabbers

***6. French Speaking Passport

***7. French Pyramid Reading

***8. French Alphabet Workbook

***9. French Decodable BUNDLE BEST DEAL

Some of the Benefits of this resource:

Students use hands on materials
Boost confidence in French language acquisition with whole group, small group, independent work, and one-to-one instruction using the same resource
Each alphabet sheet may be used independently or as a cumulative workbook of French activities
Students grow in independence at their own pace
Reinforce decoding and encoding skills
Social wellness and personal autonomy in using French in the classroom
Scaffold and support language acquisition, oral communication, and writing skills
Alphabet set can be used all year long and re-introduced each year going forward
