NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 1/2 We are reaching for the podium of singing! Students are really into mastering their concert song. A sheet with the words have been sent home for practicing, and please know that other than the melody, you will not find the French version of Jolly Old St Nicholas simply because it does not exist: I had to made it up.
In the afternoon, we took advantage of the fact that Mrs Angus was in the grade 3/4 class and joined them for a sing along.

Grade 7- There was work to be done about the composition of a sentence: Subject+verb+complement. The period was to work at unscrambling words and achieve correct placement of words, particularly adjectives.
Homework, complete the activity sheet started in class.

Grade 8 It is all about monsters in movies and literature. There was a discussion about what scares us, why monsters are created. Students read the introduction to monsters in old movies to modern times. Please answer the questions at the end of the story.

Grade 5/6 Students shared their sentences about a description of a favorite place in Québec. They had done some research and applied descriptive facts to their work. They also followed a model and made their corrections.

Grade 3/4 It was lovely to have Mrs Angus in the classroom since we are doing a music/French collaboration for the concert. House points were distributed in large numbers since the students worked so hard to memorize the first part. At the end of class, grade 1/2 joined in for the first collaborative practice.

JK/SK Yes, they are singing and practicing their song. They also began the fall vegetables. We should have the place mats soon.
