NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 3/4 The first part of the class was in the gym where the students were divided in 4 groups. They had to mime 4 activities that the pioneers would have performed. 1. cook over a fire outside. 2. cover the openings with oiled skins (if they had no glass windows). 3. Track animal foot prints. 4. chop and stack wood.
The second part was a review of activities (verbs) in preparation for the shoe project. They also challenged each others by counting by 10 to 100.
Daniel won the first challenge hands down! By the end of the class, everyone was counting by 10 in French.

Grade 7 A few students were quite ready with their brochure to be edited. Thank you Garret for being once again a team leader and helping several students with a brochure template. PROJECT PRESENTATIONS ARE MONDAY.

Grade 8 Presentations were done today. Each student read from their journal entries. They used geography and history skills to inquire about their favorite character from the past. Well donne! The reflection part of the summative was shared amongst the group.

Grade 1/2 Risk-taker students read from the classroom French books. Well done! Then, they listened to the story again, but this time read by the teacher. They also were able to reflect on all Learner Profiles from the principal character and the mother. VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE STUDENTS!

JK/SK The first half of the period was for watching Passe-Partout, a popular kid's show in Quebec many years ago. They also were very engaged when demonstrating and saying words about opposites.
