NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 1/2 The routine is well established, and students are reviewing calendar, colours, weather, and so much more. Classroom objects are now on the menu, and next week, students will identify them in writing. Grade 1s are paired with grade 2s to ease the reading transition of these frequently used words.

Grade 7 and 8 All students were introduced  to IB terminology, such as Global Contexts, Key Concepts and Related Concepts, and how it relates to the units.
They paired up to construct their Statement of Inquiry (S.O.I. for short). I was amazed to see how they were engaged and sharing ideas, and more than a few great S.O.I. ideas.

Grade 5/6 Today, students took turn reading about Natalie au Québec. The class took up the vocabulary from the text, and noted them in their notebook.
Other than listening to something in French at home, there is no homework at this point.

Grade  3/4 The class went through classroom objects. Then, they drew objects in their notebooks (a few even wrote the words). They also completed the bilingual learner profile board in the classroom.

JK/SK The class has begun  the calendar work in French. It should be posted by next week. With the guidance of senior Ks, they went around the class looking for different colours. They finished with a colouring page showing several school items. They may finish colouring at home.
