Je m'appelle...

The Grade 3/4 class has been learning and practicing some personal identification phrases which we will continue to work on this coming week. Here is a sampling of some work from our titlepages:

Our Grade 5/6 class has been learning vocabulary associated with pastimes; we will soon be getting ready to start a project about our after-school activities.  The 7/8 students have been reviewing classroom vocabulary and personal identification structures which will be useful in our first project for our unit, "Memo-photos".

Bonne semaine!

A very productive week!

The Gr. 7/8 class has been discussing events and activities of this summer using the passé composé:

We will display this art soon on the French bulletin board. Bravo, Gr. 7/8 students! We have also been reviewing expressions so that we can function en français in the classroom.

Gr. 5/6 students have been making birthday cards for students having early September birthdays and we have been talking and drawing about the things we like. Gr. 4/5 students have gone over the alphabet and have been practicing numbers up to 100. We have also been working on introducing ourselves in French. 

In all classes we have begun using the PAX game. It has been a very productive first full week at school!

À lundi!

Youppi! C'est la rentrée!

Bienvenue! Welcome to our new students and welcome back, all students!  I am looking forward to helping you get ready for the adventure of learning French! This week we brainstormed ways that learning French or any language can take us on an adventure for a lifetime! Learning a new language can help us: 

• meet more friends
• go more places
• read more books
• have more opportunities for jobs as an adult

These were a few ideas we brainstormed.I hope you will all love learning French. I'm excited to be your French teacher and I look forward to learning together, working hard and having fun!

 

Bonne fin de semaine,
Mme Christensen

Bonnes vacances!

This past week went by very quickly. We were very busy cleaning, organizing and of course, celebrating our successes! I greatly look forward to seeing our students back again in September!

  Bonne 150ème fête, Canada!  Have fun celebrating our beautiful country's 150th birthday tomorrow! May God keep our land glorious and free.

C'est le lac Bleu en Ontario.

Wherever you may go, may you enjoy a restful and safe summer vacation!

Bonnes vacances!  See you in September,

Mme Christensen

Sandwiches are beautiful, sandwiches are fine...

In our 4/5 and 5/6 classes last week we celebrated the end of our sandwich unit with a party with, of course, sandwiches!  Students brought a wide array of sandwich fillings and put together some very interesting combinations of ingredients.  

Apparently, chips as well as two-bite brownies make very good sandwich fillings, according to our resident sandwich experts!

What a great way to end our week! The Grade 5/6 class and 7/8 class also ordered in some wonderful baked goods from Le Croissant on Thursday and Friday.  What a feast we all had!

Bonne semaine!

Mme Christensen

Joyeuses fête des Pères!

Here is a peek at some of the Father's Day gifts we made this week in the Grade 4/5 and 5/6 classes. Our Grade 7/8 class was away enjoying camp this week!

Students reminded me that the very best Father we have is our Heavenly Father.

Some students decided to make scrolls instead of (or along with) their trophies.

This week we will be working on birthday cards for our summer birthdays.  We will also have some class parties!

Bonne semaine,

Mme Christensen

Une pique-nique pour la fête du Canada!

Our sandwich projects from grades 4/5 and 5/6 are displayed on the French bulletin board as part of our Spring Concert festivities honouring Canada's 150th birthday!

The theme is Une pique-nique pour la 150ème fête du Canada (a picnic for Canada's 150th birthday), which went along nicely with the Fred Penner song "Sandwiches" which was sung at our picnic by one of the early years classes.

\Please take a closer look at the sandwiches. No drooling allowed!

The paragraphs describing these sandwiches are under the front cover of each booklet.  

This week we will continue finishing up birthday cards for all students who have birthdays in June, July and August. We have lots of birthday cards to do as well as many birthday songs to sing! We will also be preparing something special for "La fète des Pères" on Sunday.

A reminder to all classes: Please return the forms handed out last week regarding the year-end parties.

Bonne semaine!
Mme Christensen
