NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

C'est l'automne ce soir!


Grade 5/6 worked on common expressions. These are useful for when you are shopping 
AU CENTRE-VILLE. They have page 8 to complete (most are finished). Let's see who is practicing 'prendre une bouchée'!

Grade 3/4 Ava shared an expression and won house points with 'Je suis très heureux de parler français, aujourd'hui.' The students listened to a text on where certain animals may live. For example, Le loup vit dans la forêt. These are sentences the students may use in their projects.


Grade 7/8 We had 3 more improvisations to listen to. After, we read about about fast food restaurants chains that were founded in the 1960's. The level of comprehension was on par with their interest in these stories. Meaning: they were outstanding.

JK/SK were having fun with expressions 'Je vois...'and J'écoute...' We started with incorporating the vocabulary for apples: les pommes.

Grade 1/2 students used their senses to discover the terminology related to Fall. They came up with a list! Les feuilles sont tombées, il fait froid, les pommes, des piles de feuilles, il fait du vent, couleurs d'automne etc...

This was a great way to start the week.
