Gr 3 Test & Presentations

We will be having a test on the verbs "to have" and "to be" in French on Thursday. Please review the sheet sent home in Le Cahier for more information.
We're also working hard on writing and practicing for presentations on "Ma famille". These will begin on Thursday, after the test.
Merci!

Gr 6 - Art & French Test

There will be a French test on Friday as a review of the verb tense "le future proche". Your child should have their French duo tang at home to review work done in class.  The "anchor chart" we created in class WILL be on display for students to use as a reference during the test.

Also, students will be creating an "Identity Collage" in Art and have been asked to send in at least 20 photos, magazine pictures and/or logos of things that relate to their personality (things they like, sports they play, family photos, pictures of things they use, etc...).  We have started to look through magazines at school already.  Pictures should be kept safe in the Ziploc bags provided.

Merci!

French Homework- Due Tuesday

A sheet is going to be coming home to be completed by Tuesday. Students are asked to find out the ages of family members.  They are to ask:"Quelle age as-tu?"  Answers should be written in a sentence in French (see models on sheet). This will provide practise for the verb "avoir" (to have). Merci! Mme Goold

La famille

We have begun a unit on "La famille". Today we began to use the sentence starters "J'ai" (I have) and "Je n'ai pas" (I don't have) related to our brothers and sisters. We're also learning possessive adjectives in French (my= mon, ma, mes, your= ton, ta, tes, his/hers= son, sa, ses). Please refer to "Le Cahier" for oral practice at home. Your child will eventually be giving an oral presentation on his/her family, following a model. 

Also, please ensure to continue to INITIAL the page read in Le Cahier EVERY day that your child practices. Merci! Joyeux St-Valentin!!

Les zones dans les communautés urbaines

We are continuing our "urban communities" theme this week. Please review the sheet in Le Cahier on the 3 zones in these communities. I would also encourage your child to explore Google Earth to find each of these zones in different cities. Next week, your child will be asked to think about what is found in his/her residential area (using a checklist in Le Cahier). We will also locate various cities on a map of Ontario. Mme Goold
