Ho Ho Ho everyone!

Who can believe that we're already going for the Christmas break! Time flies, lots of fun and activities took place at St. Jude's this week!

We enjoyed some Christmas and winter-related activities in all of the grades this week, some coloring, writing, and some more revisions. We also enjoyed playing hang-man and had some competition going!

For my grade 4s, I would like to suggest the following website :

https://www.thefrenchexperiment.com

It has some short stories in French that students can read if they have some time during the break. It offers an audio option as well as translation to English when needed.

Finally, I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas, a happy New Year and some very joyful holidays!

Hello everyone!

Can you believe it's already December? Christmas concerts are just around the corner, excitement is building up quickly and before we know it, it's already winter break!

I was very happy to see many of you in the parent-teacher conferences and meet some of you for the first time!

During the last couple of weeks we have been working on the following:

In Grade 2:

-We have been talking about Christmas and winter: vocabulary and brainstorming.
-We have been learning the correct word order and how to make meaningful sentences.
-Students have also started to write their own sentences using the taught vocabulary and new action words: "Je mange, Je bois, Je porte, Je fais."
-We did our weekly reading.

In Grade 3:

-We have been working on our summatives for the last unit we worked on.
-The students wrote a paragraph about their daily routines and the different ways they help around at home.
-The students have started presenting their summatives as they finished them.

In Grade 4:

-We have been reviewing some very important irregular and basic verbs that students have been having hard time conjugating and using properly such as "avoir, faire, aller, devoir, être..."

-We spent a whole French period learning how to practice and study for a spelling test in order to achieve better results on the weekly spelling tests.

-We completed our spelling test and finished off the week with a small revision game.

The weather outside is frightful, stay warm, have lots of hot chocolate and a wonderful weekend!

Tis' the season for Christmas concerts!!
