Grade 5/6 read their French introductions for the PYP exhibition.  Most of the students who had a chance to read today, found themselves much improved in delivery and pronunciation. The goal is  to reach a  10. The general consent is that they are at 7.5 on average. When not reading aloud, the students were doing independent seat work in their cahier. They are working with prepositions, the verb voir and ocean reef vocabulary.

Grade 3/4 found that their posters were already hanging on their new class boards. The students gave their group presentations and correctly used the 5 senses.

Grade 7/8 are working on their last legend. They will be demonstrating the correct use of passé composé using the verb ÊTRE. They will be presenting their work at the end of Thursday French period.
