We begin our week with “Le Jour du Souvenir” or Remembrance
Day. We have heartfelt gratitude for
those who gave their lives so we can relish a life of peace in our beautiful
country of Canada.
The map of France on our French bulletin board indicates the
location of Flanders Fields. It is a
vast area, covering the tip of northern France and a southern portion of
Belgium.
Word of the Week: Our word of the week is “nom”, as used in
the sentence, “c’est mon nom de famille.”
Literally translated, that means “This is my family name,” or last name.
Most classes made contributions their “sac culturel” in
which we wrote our observations of French culture. This past week we discussed
where we find French in the world around us.
Students were sent on a bit of a treasure hunt looking for evidence of
French culture and some of us had no further to look than at our “nom de
famille". Great work, everyone!
We will be doing some journal submissions and writing samples this week.
Have a wonderful week, tout le monde!
Mme Christensen
