La journée de Terry Fox

Grade ¾ students looked at a map of Canada and practice naming the provinces names in French and they looked for the location where Terry Fox started his run and where it ended. After that, they started to read in their textbooks about who liked certain sports. They divided themselves in groups and said: j’aime…or je n’aime pas…

Grade 7 students took up Wednesday’s homework and it took longer than usual…a few students did not complete their assignment. These first uniits are on verbs and it is important that we do the review before moving on. Homework is to continue their verb studies for the main irregular verbs: aller, avoir être, pouvoir, vouloir, devoir, faire. They also have to work on their slides/pictures for their comic strip and provide an original ending.

Grade 8 students peer edited their work and reviewed the rubric. They are writing about their idea/worst day, due on Monday. They are also to come up with ideas for their Facebook/Web page for la tâche finale.

Grade ½ had much fun playing a round the world game with a full review of this month vocabulary, a little Math and general knowledge. Well done! The class was interrupted for birthday circle at 1:50p.m

JK/SK there was no French class today. Instead, they ran outside for the Terry Fox school run.

MONDAY, SEPT. 28 We are back on schedule

NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER today's edition

Grade 3/4 discussed the main three meals we take during the day. They also learned that other countries call their meals a bit differently and it often depends on the importance of that meal. They had seat work, copied their vocabulary and wrote what they would eat at certain meal.

Grade 7 worked on their comic strip. Oliver suggested that they use bitstrip: this was well received and  students will try it if their devices support it.

Grade 8 read their assignment about a horrible or ideal day and the class discussed the rubric. Well done!

The students received their tâche finale assignment: a Facebook/Web page offering a service. They will folow the rubric and will have class time on Wednesday to work on it. Due date is Wednesday, Oct.7

Grade 5/6 presented their recipe project. Good work and yummy recipes. We have 3 more students to present on Wednesday. 

We had a few minutes to watch Ricardo à la cuisine a video from CBC. Garret looked up famous chefs from France and gave a list all the way back to the 1600's.

Grade 1/2 started with their textbook and they combined their knowledge of numbers and class objects and answered to Qu'est-ce que c'est? and Qui est-ce?

They are slowly making the transition from what they hear to what is written. Fantastic group!

JK/SK are adding to the routine and the JK are really starting to participate. Today, they listened to a CD story of a panda bear who would shrink in the rain and regain its full size when the sun was out. 

They finished with counting all the squares on the carpet. Bravo, Samuel for being the closest to the count. Shylah did the calendar and even sounded out LUNDI!
