Grade 8 & 9 several students were away, and today was an opportunity to work with passé composé. Great instructional game!
Grade 5/6 no French today due to International Mindedness Day. Great presentations!
JK/SK Halloween has made an appearance: Squelettes, Sorcière, hibou, chauve souris, chat noir...
Grade 1/2 Une histoire de citrouille. Je plante une graine (ou une idée), elle pousse, elle fait une fleur, un fruit (la citrouille), elle devient énorme...elle donne beaucoup de graines. In other words, if you plant an idea, make it grow with questions, and reserach...it will grow, and eventually give back.
Grade 3/4 Students did a quick activity on researching activities liked by 4 different people in each group. They had to guess...and they won!
Following this, students turned into researchers/scientists, reading the ingredient list from their bottled FIJI water! They also discussed how it is shipped a very long way...to market. Well, you should ask them what they think now!
