NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Only the second day and the students are into a routine.

JK children were led into our routine songs by the SK students and Katie gave us the date. Today, we looked at colours and read our way through a book with a mouse hidden in all sorts of colourful school items.

The grade 1 & 2 are in review mode. We sang the days of the week, identified the days on cards...mixed them up and sang again. We had a lot of fun and happy students everywhere.

Grade 3 & 4 are working on classroom objects and we are in the planning stages for a scavenger hunt with labels and objects. Stay tuned!

Grade 5 & 6 were discussing strategies and common questions to use when arriving in a place where a different language is spoken. We just started 'Natalie au Québec'.

Grade 7 & 8 began with the 3 power verbs: devoir, pouvoir and vouloir. Jason took the lead with asking questions in French without any prompting. The first unit is about 'casse-crôute.
Sorry, you will have to ask them about what it means...they know! They also know that they have to start thinking about doing a little improvisation on September 19. A snack bar for Terry Fox.

NOTE FOR EVERYONE

The children wrote in their agenda to direct you, parents, to read the blog and give your feedback to them. We will see how many of the passed on the message.

À bientôt
