NEWS FROM FRENCH CORNER

Great start of the year!

All the students, except grades 5 & 6 because we had assembly this morning, have had a chance to visit and take in their first class in the French room. The general sentiment was: they loved it!

The JK & SK met the puppets and sang and identified the colours on the mats.

The grade 1 & 2 students were happy to receive their binders and had time to tlake a look at their books. Many of them were helping themselves to French books from the library. They enjoyed the fact that the the French books had been moved. This is a very curious group.

In grade 3 & 4, we discussed what we should remember to bring in the classroom. These investigators looked at the material and asked a lot of questions. Tomorrow, we start in earnest.

Finally, the grade 7 & 8 students were quick to get into the routine. This will be a good practice for when they start high-school and have to rotate to the different rooms.
We also took some time to reflect on the 'profiles de l'apprentisseur'. They had no difficulty to indentify, translate and of course communicate which one they associated the most with.

I will try to add pictures very soon, meanwhile, do not hesitate to ask questions, offer suggestions etc....
