NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER
The day started with the grade 1/2 class. We talked about the summer and who we are...names, age...Sarah was the only one in the class to know the secret code. Just a friendly reminder, if your child has not yet brought in a binder (1in., 3 ring) to keep all their French material together, please have it ready to go for Monday. Students also received their textbook and notebook. See you on Monday!
Grade 7 Today was about going through the textbooks, notebooks...Again, it was nice to see pro-active students ready with their binders (thank you for re-cycling last year's binders). Students made a list of things they want to accomplish this year and jotted down the statement of inquiry for their up and coming unit.
Grade 8 Students went through the same routine and took a look at what their projects will be this year.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS LETTER GOING HOME FOR THE PARENTS TO SIGN. THIS IS THE REACH AHEAD PERMISSION FORM TO TAKE THE GRADE 9 FRENCH PROGRAM. I will need these to keep on file at St-Jude's Academy so we can issue the credit for FSF1D at the High School level.
Grade 5/6 After going through the routine and textbook...again students will need to bring binders to keep their French material together. The class did an ice-breaker activity...literally drew an iceberg of talent and success as the tip, and the sub-merged part was for all the attributes to be able to demonstrate success.
Grade 3/4 Thank you Sophie for being the only one who knew the secret code, This earned house points!!! After the routine was reviewed, textbooks handed out, students brainstormed about what makes them think of French. They drew and coloured their first international French pictures...macaroons, Eiffel Tower, cheese, ice cream (it was so hot), flags... very creative!
JK/SK It was a great class considering the heat and the time of day but everyone rallied and Aiden did the calendar, they counted, moved around 'on s'assoit, on se lève...Students are learning to sing the days of the week in English and inn French. They are learning that what they say and do, I can do it in French too! Today's fascinating word was POMME.
