Happy first school-Friday of 2020!

I hope you'v all had a restful and fun break with family and friends, and of course all the chocolate you need to refuel for the second half of the year!

-We started to learn how to conjugate somme simple verbs in the present tense.

In Grade 3:

-We had a small class discussion about what each one of us did during the break.
-We started our new unit: La ville et la compagne. We did a brainstorm about what a city looks like and what we can find in a city.
-We learned new prepositions to help us write new sentence structures.

In Grade 4:

-We had a small discussion about the break and what we did, along with some winter-related vocabulary and activities.
-We started to learn a new tense "Le futur simple" which is a future tense.
-We had a mini revision test about the basic irregular verbs ("avoir", "être", "faire", "aller").

I hope you all have a great weekend!
