Grade 5/6 worked and played today. Actually, they played to learn their ER verbs. The name of the game is Connect 4 and teams have to fill a sequence of 4 spots on the grid. As long as the spots are adjacent to one another and they conjugate and use the verb in a sentence, they earn their points.

Grade 3/4 students took turns and used the 4 most commonly used verbs and made sentences of their own choice. The verbs were Avoir, être, faire, aller. (to have, to be, to do or to make, to go).

JK/SK students are working on the farm animals. Today, they earned house points when they could name some of the puppets names.
