Celebrating our learning!

Here are a few sample of projects from Grades 4, 5 and 6 students.  Students proudly presented and read their projects to their parents this week at our student-led conferences.

Here are a few of the avatar projects from our Grade 7 and 8 students:

This past week all students have been putting their finishing touches on their projects and have been practicing reading their work aloud with partners. We've also been practicing some "dialogue" with the characters (above)! I am looking forward to seeing families at our student-led conferences.

Bonne fin de semaine,

P.S. Où est le drapeau français?

Le Canada se souvient...Canada remembers

Veteran's Affairs has made available wonderful resources for classrooms for Remembrance day in both official languages.  Some of these are posted on our French bulletin board this month:

Vimy Ridge is located about 175 kilometers north of Paris in France.  For more information about the role of Canadian soldiers at Vimy Ridge, follow this link:

Students from Grades 4-8 who finished their French projects this week took some time to peruse these papers above.

Earlier in October, one of our Gr. 7/8 groups visiting Le Croissant stopped at nearby Coronation Park to see the memorial to our Canadian soldiers, which is inscribed in English and French.

Let us all be grateful for the countless sacrifices made by our soldiers so that we can enjoy the many blessings we have today.

Nose to the grindstone!

Report cards will be coming out soon, so we need to get our projects done!  All students in Grades 4-8 have been working hard on their projects (Gr. 4-6: celebrities; Gr. 7-8: avatars)

J'ai fini, Madame!!!

However, this past week was not all work.  We started off the week with Hallowe'en festivities, including our annual school parade which occurred during French class. Grade 7/8 spared no effort in the preparations!

Voici un garçon et un astronaute!

Bonjour, Sandtrooper!

At the end of September, we also asked this all-important question: who won--le soleil ou les nuages? En octobre, il y a 13 jours de soleil et 24 jours nuageux! Il y a aussi 9 jours de pluie. Check our end-of-September post to compare.

Enfin, où est le drapeau français?

Regardez bien!

Bonne fin de semaine! Enjoy our lovely weather!
