Bonne année 2019!

Hello everyone and happy new year!

I hope you all had a great winter break and pleasant holidays with your loved ones!

We are close to the end of the first full week after the break and it's definitely started to feel  a LOT more like Canadian winter now!
This has been a productive week in our French classes.

In Grade1:
-We discussed our winter breaks and learned to say what we did during the holidays using proper sentence structure and vocabulary.
-We learned some new vocabulary related to winter: clothes and activities.
-We made full sentences related to winter using some new action words and nouns.

In Grade2:
-We discussed winter: the weather, what we do, what we eat/drink, what we wear...
-We learned to use some new vocabulary words in our sentences using new verbs (faire, porter, jouer) and to conjugate the latter.
-We made complete sentences using the new verbs and nouns and started to identify the proper word order in full sentences.

In Grade5:
-We discussed our winter breaks using the past tense (passé composé).
-We learned new vocabulary words and their proper spelling, related to the new topic: the digestif system.
-We labeled the different parts and organs of the digestif system and learned how the digestif system works while playing some fun games too!














Wishing you all a relaxing weekend, stay warm and safe!
