NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

It has been fun to have the kids come up and giving me the 'secret code' in exchange for house points. The code will change frequently and the idea is that the blog is read through.

JK/SK already have the routine down path with calendar, wheather and colours. They went around the classroom to get items with a designated colour. After, the students acted out what they do during recess: cours, marche, grimpe, glisse etc... They finished the class with drawing themselves at their favorite playground structure.

Grade 1/2 have now completed their colour word booklet and can read and recognize the name of colours. They also had fun with a game of name that day during a song where they had to quickly raise their day card when they heard it. Great day all around.

Grade 5/6 students read about a chef and other kids making pizza. The object of the lesson was to recognize verbs in the imperative tense. These verbs were recorded in their notebook and will be useful when they have to present a recipe to the class. More information to come later this week.
These students are really sharp!!!

Grade 7/8 had a combined lesson on 'adjectifs possessifs'. They copied the grid in their notebooks for future reference.

Grade 7 completed an activity sheet then they were asked to reflect about the virtual world versus reality. The statement of inquiry for this unit is:Video games offer opportunities to communicate meaning as a way to reflect on reality and the virtual world as different contexts. Students will be discussing this in the next few days.

Grade 8 were asked to start a rough copy of a paragraph modelled on one from the book. They will be describing themselves, their likes and dislikes.This will also help them to review adjectives, both regular and irregular.

Grade 3/4 have been brushing on their spelling skills. The vocabulary is all about the classroom items. I must say they are impressive!
