Presenting...work from the Grade 4/5 class!

Grade 4/5 students are working on presenting a friend to the class.  To accomplish this, they are speaking and writing in the third person using the verbs être and avoir as well as the -er verbs présenter and aimer.  Students also need to use the appropriate masculine or feminine form of at least one adjective to describe their friend. All work will be posted on our French bulletin board.  However, here are a few samples of their work:

Tremendous work, Grade 4/5! Oral evaluations will continue this coming week for all students in Grades 4-6. Grade 7/8 students are continuing in their unit, Café français.

Bonne fin de semaine!

Grade 5 and 6 presentations plus some crêpes!

Grade 5 and 6 students worked hard putting the finishing touches on their compositions which described the various preferences of their classmates.  It was a good exercise in writing in the third person, using the possessive pronouns 'son' and 'sa' as well as some masculine and feminine adjectives.  

Some samples of written work:

We started some presentations and will continue this week as well.

I hope to post some pictures of written work next week from our 4/5 class.

The Grade 7/8 class started a unit called "Café français". We talked about as well as read a crêpe recipe.  We also made and sampled some crêpes in class!

À lundi!

Grade 7 and 8 students' presentations

Hourra! Grade 7 and 8 students finished their presentations on their summer vacations this week; it was a major milestone as this was our first introduction to the use of the past tense.

After each presentation, there was a short period of time when students could ask the presenter questions.  Participation in the question and response activity formed part of the oral mark this term. Students also completed self-evaluations on their oral and written work. 

Here are a few of our students with their work:

Most Grade 4/5/6 students will be ready to present their compositions this week; stay tuned for some samples of their work!

Bonne semaine,

Joyeuse Action de Grâces!

This past week the rest of our Gr. 7/8 class visited the bakery and boutique, Le Croissant, at 276 Tache Avenue.

We practiced how to place our order in the days preceding our visit!

What presentation!

A beautiful heart-shaped glazed apple tart

Macarons

We all took turns placing our orders, en français!

We thoroughly enjoyed all of our baked goods!

All of the Grade 7 and 8 students have finished their compositions about their summer vacation, using the passé composé and the vocabulary we learned last June about outdoor adventures.  Next week we will continue to present our compositions.  After each presentation there is a short question and response period; participation in this 'q & r' counts towards part of the oral mark for this unit.

All projects were wonderful but here are a few samples:

This week the Gr. 4-6 classes are working on their compositions and hopefully will be finished soon!

May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you this Thanksgiving and may we all have thankful hearts. 

Joyeuse Action de Grâces!

After School in French/Le Croissant

Our After School in French zumba program got off to a joyful start last Monday with 'the Happy Song'!

On Wednesday half of our Gr. 7/8 students practiced their French as they ordered baked goods from "Le Croissant", 276 Tache Avenue.

Next week, the 7/8 class will be presenting their compositions and illustrations on their summer vacation, featuring their use of the passé composé. Grades 5/6 will be working on oral presentations about themselves and others; possessive pronouns 'mon/ma/ton/ta/son/sa' will be used to speak about favorite foods, drinks, pastimes, sports, colours and school subjects. 

Grades 4/5 are also working on presentations of their classmates, featuring their use of third person pronouns 'il' and 'elle'.  Students have also been taking turns being the 'mini-professeur', directing the conversations around our classroom calendar.

Bonne fin de semaine,

Mme Christensen
