Collaborative work!

Bonsoir,

Today, the Grade 5's from Mme Micheline spend the second block with us.

I introduced the subject of Remembrance Day.

• They watched and sang a short song: "Beau Coquelicot."
• Together, we came up with keywords that describe 'Remembrance Day', such as: soldats, courage, brave, guerre, coquelicot...
• Afterwards, everyone was placed in groups in helping out to decorate our gym for our Ceremony.
• To finish this wonderful block, I read a book related to Remembrance Day:  'Jason'.

I would like to thank Olivia, Giulliana, Abby, & Natalia for helping in creating the groups. I would like to thank Lorraine & Tuyet for teaching the students on how to paint the poster. I would also like to thank Rajna & Tatiana in helping in creating beautiful lanterns and teaching how to make them. Michael & Momo for being great assistants. Everyone collaborated together! Merci beaucoup les amis!

 Stay tuned! More pictures to come soon!

Clarifications

*David Bouchard is visiting on Thursday, October, 13th. Not the 14th.


*I have found short French stories for your child to read. I meant, have your child listen to the stories 3X. One story per night. This is great practice! Enjoy!

Bonjour,

La sorcière a froid aux pieds

La sorcière a froid aux pieds
La sorcière a froid au nez
La sorcière est enrhumée.
Je lui donne un mouchoir bleu:
vite, elle ferme les yeux
Je lui donne un mouchoir blanc:
clic, elle claque des dents
Je lui donne un mouchoir noir:
elle éternue jusqu'au soir.
Je lui donne un mouchoir vert:
PAF ! Elle tombe par terre.

L'épouvantail

Les cheveux en bataille
Le corps en brin de paille
Vêtu d'un vieux chandail,
C'est l'épouvantail.
Il fait peur aux moineaux
Aux corneilles, aux corbeaux,
À tout oiseau qui piaille,
C'est l'épouvantail.
Est-ce que tu oserais
Le toucher, l'embrasser,
Le prendre par la taille,
Cet épouvantail ?

Bonjour,

My blog is up and running now. If you notice any discrepancies, please let me know by writing a note in your child's agenda.

Your child has been busy learning and discovering.

Your child is learning O'Canada using sign language for our Remembrance Day Ceremony. Your child needs to practice everyday in order to be ready for our Ceremony. This is also one of his/her goal for the month of October. Here is the link for your child to practice: 

O'Canada in sign Language

Now, stay tuned for another goal for the month of October.

*As promised, here are my slides from Curriculum night.

________________________________________________Monday:  Write 20 sentences.  (Your child is encouraged to use adjectives to describe).

For example: Le gros chien noir marche dans la grande forêt.

Tuesday: Read 15 minutes out loud.

Wednesday: Watch a French television show.

Thursday: Go on line and play a French activity.
