LAST FEW DAYS FOR 2019
Grade 9 French students had their work edited, and remember that your summative is due WEDNESDAY DEC. 17.
If you choose to record your radio ad, make sure that it is loud enough to be heard clearly (practice a few times), and that the technology will not let you down. Also, have your hard copy and your poster to hand in as your evidence.
Grade 8 French students had a pop quiz about unit vocabulary. Students realized that doing homework does include studying the words, so they can later use them in their work.
WEDNESDAY: there will be a QUIZ, and you will be asked to create 5 sentences with these words. Be prepared.
Grade 5/6 The lesson today was 'DEVOIR'. Students were also working with the negative form in double verb sentences. WELL DONE!
JK/SK It is all about the holidays! Songs, terminology etc.
Grade 1/2 after a quick round of 'comment dit-on', students did what they love to do: word search.
Grade 3/4 Students worked in 3 teams (for points) and translated unit vocabulary. As a reward, they completed a holiday word search.

Grade 9 French and Grade 8 French worked on l'imparfait. This is usually taught in higher grades. However, seeing that students consistently use it in their summative written work (thanks to a variety of translator engines), it was only appropriate to understand when and how to use this verb tense. Students quickly got the hang of it, and completed the activity sheet.
HOMEWORK: gr. 9 complete part b.
gr. 8 complete part b if you wish to have extra practice.
Grade 5/6 students worked with vocabulary related to body parts and elements in the environment that affect them. For example: la poussière dans les yeux.
JK/SK songs from the holiday selection: MON PETIT SOLDAT.
Grade 1/2 concert practice- please continue singing the songs at home. Most students can read the lines, and everyone know the songs.
Grade 3 students began unit 3 Les Fourmis. Today, they worked on adjectives.
