         Communication in full sentences is one of the main goals in our class, and this means using verbs!  This week in grades 5/6 and 7/8 we have been taking some time to review verbs and verb tenses that have been studied so far this year.  In Grade 7/8 we've found that songs have helped us remember some key verbs! Check these out:

Some of our Gr. 8 students from last year, now in Grade 9 French, have commented that they still remember and use the song about the verb avoir that we sang last year to the tune "The Ants go Marching". They have even shared it with their Grade 9 peers this year. However, here is another tune (which is a little bit more lively) to help us remember the verb avoir:

Our Grade 3/4 students have been making birthday cards this past week using the verbs être, avoir and donner. We have also been reviewing and expanding upon the classroom vocabulary learned earlier this year; we enjoyed this song:

Dans ma salle de classe by Alexandre

This week we will be preparing for student-led conferences on Tuesday and Wednesday.  I look forward to seeing students sharing their French work with their parents!

Bonne semaine,
