Back on track!

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to school, I hope that you all had a relaxing and fun March break! We've just completed the first week back at school and everything's back on track! We have also wrapped up our units and ready to start new ones next week.

In Grade 1:
-We wrapped up our inventions unit.
-We reviewed the vocabulary words and sentence structures such as "c'est un ordinateur..." "c'est une..."
-We started to learn some new vocabulary related to the spring season.

In Grade 2:
-We wrapped up our simple machines units: the students presented their paragraphs about their favourite simple machine in French.
-We reviewed the pronouns and how to use them to replace names and nouns in sentences.

In Grade 5:

-We edited the arguments written by the students for our debates.

-We wrapped up the unit about the government with the debates.

-We reviewed the main concepts of both units we learned in term 2.

Have a great weekend, and enjoy this warm weather!

March break is here!!

Hello everyone!

Here comes the most anticipated day of term 2! We have completed a lot of work during this term and everyone is definitely looking forward to the break. This week was so much fun with all the spirit days and house games and pancake contest! But we sure did squeeze in all the work we needed to do!

In grade 1:
-We continued to work on the inventions, more vocabulary, more sentences, and worksheets.
-We distinguished the action word "inventer" and the noun "une invention".
-We reinforced the use of definite and indefinite articles.

In grade 2:
-We continued to work on the simple machines and learned about le plan incliné and la roue.
-We made sentences using the new vocabulary and "j'ai besoin de".
-We answered questions with full sentences about our favorite simple machine, why, and made a paragraph with our answers.

In grade 5:
-We worked on our arguments for the debates that we will be having the first week back from the break.
-Students typed up their arguments neatly and sent them to me, I will check and print them during the break and give them back on the first day back.
-I have assigned some homework for my grade 5s: The worksheet that I gave out has all the instructions. You will have to go on the following website to complete the work:

Have a wonderful and relaxing break, see you all on the 25th!
