The grade one and two classes have been busy building their vocabulary by practicing body parts and clothing in French. Our focus is on the vocabulary and then using it in a basic sentence such as 'C'est un chandail' (It's a sweater). The next step for grade 2 is to describe their clothing along with the colour. We continue to sing songs, read books and participate in group activities related to clothing and the body.
Grade 3
The grade three students are reading "Bonne Fete" (Happy Birthday). They have used several reading strategies to help divide the story into small chunks which make reading in the second language achievable and enjoyable. We are in the process of recording our reading with the ipads.
Grade 4
The grade four students are in the process of achieving their learning goal of engaging in interactive French conversations related to birthdays and celebrations. We are taking steps to have our own classroom celebration of each student's birthday. These activities include promotional birthday posters, French party invitations and creating French board games.
