NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 8/9 French Thank you students for returning your Reach Ahead letter. It has to be a record turn around for getting it signed and logged in.
Students brainstormed a variety of pronominal verbs, reviewed the formation of irregular adjectives, and answered a quick survey.
There was some discussion as to the accuracy of the results, but it is great that they paid attention, and noticed the differences of opinion.
HOMEWORK-Please write a short reflection about your findings and feelings toward the descriptions. 2-3 sentences to be shared on Monday.

Grade 7/8 French- Discussion about fast food (casse-croûte). Students read a comic strip about a difficult client, retrieved vocabulary, and answered comprehension questions.
HOMEWORK- record your vocabulary and its meaning in your notebook.

Grade 3-4 Students shared their favorite spot around their homes. They also took turn to read 'Natalie arrive', and vocabulary was reviewed. They also worked on a couple of strategies to use when you have difficulty to understand.
HOMEWORK- Fill in the blanks on page 1. Go as far as you can! You are being challenged!

Grade 6 Students read about, and discussed video games, especially those addressing the possibility of extraterrestrials. Now, they know that they have to complete a comic strip… more on this later.
HOMEWORK- Use Les Mots Clés, record them on sheet for Monday.

Grade 1 Sing! And, sing with signs to recognize the written word. It is wonderful to listen to many students read the weather posters.

JK/SK The routine is slowly getting established. Songs about the days of the week, counting down 10 to 0, and looking for colours.

Grade 1/2 The class is reviewing classroom objects, and how to recognize the written vocabulary.
They are still intrigued about the fact that EVERYTHING is either feminine or masculine.
