"Simon's Cat"

Lately the 5/6 and 7/8 classes have been getting acquainted with "Simon's Cat".  I pause this video intermittently for students to give a play-by-play commentary:

Some good oral communication using -er verbs (as well as other verbs) happens as a result, but who's noticing? It's fun talking about Simon's cat!

The Grade 7/8 class has the added twist of practicing the past tense (passé composé) and the future (futur proche) as their questions of the week have been:

• Qu'est-ce que tu vas faire ce weekend?
• Qu'est-ce que tu as fait le weekend passé?

In our 3/4 and 4/5 classes, we have been practicing our verbs, playing "Simon dit" (Simon says--completely unrelated to the video above.)  We've also been learning vocabulary related to family and our home.

Our question of the week for Grades 3-6 will be "Qui est-ce?"

A bientôt,

Mme Christensen
