NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 3/4 the class was able to accomplish quite a bit today. The animal booklet was a wealth of information and the students were quick to find information and categorize animals according to where they live, how fast or slow they are and so on.

JK/SK The French class was moved to the morning so they would not miss French because of skating. So, after the routine, Grace announced that she could say her prayers in French...and she did...and we did...and then we took on other language and prayed. Somehow, the students wanted to know how to say: talking to God...Parler à Dieu and we added that perhaps meditating was listening to God. 1. parler,  now what else do we do with our mouth (la bouche)? chanter, manger, goûter, donner des baisers etc...
2. écouter...
It is amazing how the lessons evolve when you are a JK/SK at The Maples!

Grade 5/6 On today's menu was -ir ending verbs. The students work hard and finished all their work on time.
Homework: if p.9 A is not completed, please do so before Monday.

Grade 1/2 asked for the weather cards...why not? Following this, they watched Les Aurores Boréales in real time and, there was a discussion about chameau and dromadaire. Just ask your child! They are so curious about everything.

Grade 7/8 reviewed their exams from Wednesday and we took up a few concepts for clarification.
Grade 8 please plan your oral presentation and be prepared to give your opinion on the use of GMO foods. This is for Wednesday!
