French Homework Week Nov 9th to Nov 16th

Hello Parents, bonjour les étudiant(e)s.

Notes:  -We are going to the Learning Commons this afternoon. We will look at more French books that are available to us. I have a good size selection in class for you to borrow if you don't have many to choose from at home. As I repeated before, if you need to trade you book or want to bring one home, choose one from our French bins of books, tell me so I can record it and take it home!

-Our projets bio-diversité: presentations have taken longer than anticipated. All of you will be able to show your Mom or Dad your results. I will give you a copy of your final assessment (with the success criteria list you were handed) by the end of this week.

-Parents are welcome to attend (and watch our gr.6 French Immersion students recite the poem) our Remembrance Day service this Wednesday at 10:45 in our school gymnasium.

Homework:  -Continue to read in French (out loud is always best) at least four evenings this week for 20 minutes each time. Record your times on the Défi Lecture sheet. A reminder to keep the sheet in your agenda.

-Wednesday: we are presenting to the school community our Au Champ d'Honneur poem. Most students know it by heart. If you don't, you only have two more evenings to practice. Today's Google Hangout with Mlle Carroll's class showed us how well prepared many students are! :-)

That's it for now. Any questions or concerns, let me know!!  M.K.

Homework/Devoirs Nov.2 to Nov.6th

Please have your: Au Champ D'Honneur poem memorized by this Friday. If you read it over three times out loud each night last week as required you should be close to knowing it well. Please read your poem over 3-4 times tonight, tomorrow and Thursday night and that should do the trick! Already 5 students know it by heart. If that is the case for you, take this time to focus on other homework! 

This Friday: you will be asked to recite the Poem in front of the class. Please be ready. Any questions or concerns, ask! :-)  M.K.
