mardi le 15 septembre


With all six classes in French today, we were busy! Here's the rundown of what we got up to:

Mr. Miller's class spent some time practicing their verb conjugation skills. In small groups, we learned how to talk about our hobbies using simple verb conjugations ("Je nage" = "I swim") being one example. For homework, this class needs to finish up the practice page if they did not do so in class.

Mr. Marques' class wrote short journals on the subject "Comment utilises-tu la technologie?" (How do you use technology?) They also got to talk about different things they do using technology in small groups - for example, "J'envoye des messages a mes amis" or "Je joue les jeux video comme Counterstrike". For homework, all journals need to be at least three sentences, with at least one -ER verb in each.

Mrs. Wiken's class practiced drawing and describing people with different eye and hair colours. Can you child tell you their eye and hair colour in French? Hopefully so, as they all got to come practice it with me in small groups! For homework, they need to finish the practice page if they didn't do so already.

Mr. Stephenson's class and Mrs. McLeish's class both practiced their listening skills. They listened to me tell them what was in my backpack (in French), and wrote down what they heard. These skills are very important for understanding more complex French! No homework tonight for my Grade 4s - I'll have to correct that oversight in the future!

Mrs. Howland's class practiced using -ER verbs to talk about sports - on paper and in small groups. They learned how to talk about which sports they prefer, and what equipment they need. For homework, they need to complete their practice pages from today if they didn't do so in class.

Adieu, tout le monde!
