NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 1/2 Students spent most of their time rehearsing their song for the concert. For Wednesday, students should have memorized the first  4 lines.
Please note that you can find the melody on YouTube, but you cannot find the French translation, I had to work this one out myself.

Grade 7/8- Today was a combined lesson and refresher on adjectives, especially the ones placed before the nouns, and the irregular adjectives that change forms when either feminine or masculine, singular or plural.
There was also time for reflection about the latest project, things that went well, what to improve on etc. Critical thinking and following rubrics were at the top of the list.

Grade 5/6 The class read 4 short letters coming from different places in Quebec. Following this part of the unit, they researched an area that was of particular interest to them. Homework: use your research and write 5-8 sentences about the  physical (terrain) aspect of your chosen area, tell what activities you might want to do in summer and winter.

Grade 3/4 Today was a mix of the unit vocabulary, acting and some Math thrown in for good measure. The concert song is priority and for Wednesday the first 4 lines must be memorized (there are 500 points per student if you can sing the first 4 lines).

JK/SK The students were happy to show me how far they can count, since today is 50 days celebration. The class continued to work on naming the fruit and colouring the first activity for their placemats.
