Grade 8 French- Homework was checked, and students did a round of vocabulary knowledge oral quiz (observation). They also had an information grid to fill in from the text read yesterday.

Grade 4-5 Verbs are still on the menu today: verbs ending in ER, and Être. Students were able to connect adjectives, in the correct gender and numbers, and relate them to specific occupations.

Grade 6 The lesson today was about finding words from the same family, which students did easily. Then came the questions! Students learned to used the 'big words' in the questions and find the answers in the text. They are beginning to use critical thinking, and learning that answers come with more than one word.
