Bonjour mes amis!
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. This weather has been crazy! We didn't get too much accomplished this week with all the snow days and students missing!
We have started a new term so lots of new learning around is around the corner.
French: L'Heure Genie- Genius Hour. We started this back at the beginning of the month and the students will have the entire month to choose their subject, and their inquiry question they will be researching about. They can display their learnings in which ever way they would like; presentation, poster, etc. The emphasis is on RESEARCH! I want them to become experts on their interest. I have been giving them 2 hours a week to work on it. They have the option of working with a friend.
Writing: We will be focusing on mini lessons in grammar and vocabulary to enhance our writing. We are continuing on adjectifs possessifs and plurals and singular of adjectives. I will be assigning more writing for practice as well. I will post all homework on this site.
Students should be completing at least 10 minutes of Duolingo A DAY!
Science: This week we started examining what we already know and what we want to know about how the human body works. We will be researching the 5 different systems in French, which will be the challenge as the vocabulary is quite heavy, but the new terms will be kept in their Science duotang so they can practice.
ART: We will be examining Canadian Aboriginal artists and the symbolism they use in their pieces of art.
Report Cards:
If you have any questions about your child's marks and comments please contact me.
I am encouraging the students to speak French all the time in class, especially to their classmates, which they often forget.
Mr. Fischer is arranging for morning interviews starting this week. I look forward to seeing you,
Mme. B
