Happy Friday!

Hello everyone!

Here we are at the end of a shorter week. The grade 5s were away on a ski trip all day on Wednesday, and grade 1s  and 2s were away on trips on Thursday, so it was an even shorter week for all of my grades! We were however still able to squeeze in a lot of work.

In grade1:
-We introduced inventions in French and mentioned the most well-known ones.
-We learned why and how inventions are important and how they make our lives easier.
-We looked for some inventions in French in a word search and learned to associate the vocabulary words with their correct definitions.


In grade2:
-We learned to identify and name various examples of leviers (le levier): la pince, le marteau, les ciseaux.
-We made our own complete sentences using "j'ai besoin de", different leviers, actions words, complements...
-We learned about the pulley in French "la poulie", explained how it works using a drawing and wrote about its function in French.


In grade5:
-We reviewed the past tense "le passé composé".
-We inquired further about the government in French: what we know, what we want to learn as well as the responsibilities of each government.
Grade 5 students have to complete the government responsibilities worksheet for homework for Monday.


Have a great weekend!

In Grade 2:
-We learned vocabulary related to valentine's day.
-We learned to express our feelings towards our family members and use different verbs to describe activities that we do with them.
-We enjoyed making crowns to celebrate the 100th day of school.



In grade 5:
-We learned some new vocabulary words related to the government including proper spelling.
-We reviewed valentine's day vocabulary and verbs and used them to write sentences describing why we love the different members of our families using the word "parceque" (because).
-We even played some games to review words and actions related to valentine's day in French.





Happy valentine's day to all, I hope you enjoy your long weekend with your families and loved ones!

Enjoy this "warm" weekend!
