French Immersion gr6 Homework this week

Students received a worksheet today, Monday Sept.12th, entitled: "Trois évènements, lequel est faux?"

Students must hand in the completed worksheet this coming Friday, Sept. 16th.

Write three full French sentences, use the back of the sheet if you need more space. Ask someone who has good knowledge of French to help you compose your sentences: a friend, sibling, parent or a teacher! Do a rough copy first on a separate paper and copy your work on the provided sheet. Please fill the box with an illustration of your choice. Make the drawing very colourful... and, please colour in the border. Could be something that represents and event. Practice reading it as you will be presenting it to your classmates! Try and choose events that classmates are unfamiliar with! Have fun with it.

M. Kennedy's example:

      1. J'ai mangé des Froot Loops qui étaient dans la Coupe Stanley.  9

      2. J'ai fait une escalade du mont St Pierre au Guatemala qui est un volcan! La randonnée était de trois heures!  12

      3.  Lorsque j'étais petit, j'ai grimpé un arbre et j'ai tombé. Je me suis cassé une jambe. 4

At the back of the page, write the false statement! We will be putting all the pages in a duotang for others to read. And, we'll play the guessing game with students. 

 #1 and #2 are true!! I did not break my leg. 4 students guessed right! Bravo!        

Bienvenue 6è année! Welcome! Septembre 2016

First week of school, première semaine d'école:

Merci! M.Kennedy

Music Evaluation Results

Bonjour! Parents: did your son or daughter show you their little music poster presentation assessment sheet? I each graded the students on a little French presentation they did in front of the class. The great majority of students did quite well. Focus was on content and French presentation skills. Next week, students will be presenting a music composition they are creating and will have a chance to showcase a music talent they have.

This is what students were asked to show you (with grades/comments):

Évaluation Présentation du Poster de Musique Name of presenter: ________________            May 2016   Évaluateur: __________ You spoke French during the presentation: __Yes/No/Most of the time__ You spoke clearly and loud enough for classmates to hear you well: _____ You had good information to share about your topic: _____ Your poster was complete, colourful and had few spelling mistakes: _____ Comments:  ________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________

Speaking French in Class update!

Good morning, bonjour! Last week, we finished our latest classroom French speaking game: "Bonbons dans un bocal". It went very well. The great majority of students spoke French all the time! Part of the game rules Dylan, Maggie, Chris and Ben came up with was that students who got caught speaking English would have to do additional homework. Eight students have a bit of catching up to do. Please check your child's agenda. If your son or daughter doesn't have additional homework today, it is because they spoke French during our 4 weeks of afternoon French speaking game! The top three winners were Sophie, Anika and Hana. Again, merci à Ben, Maggie, Dylan et Chris!

Next, today or tomorrow, we are starting a new French speaking game called: 'Cube'. Hana, Rachel, Braeydon, Jack et William are the group leading the way with this new initiative! Using a google document they shared together, the group outlined les règles du jeux (rules of the game).

Exciting News!! Des nouvelles excitantes!

Our students continue to be fantastic contributors and citizens of our community!!
First, congratulations to Ian who came up with the winning name for our Radio Show: The Bee Hive Live!! Listen to our radio show that aired at lunch today and Mrs Green's announcement:
1st Bee Live Hive Radio Show!!

$644 is how much Max and his team were able to raise for Cystic Fibrosis!! They did this on their own with very little help from adults of the school! Amazing! Je suis très fier de vous! Bravo! M.K.

Students: keep up leading the way with great initiatives! Remember what I always tell you: if you want something good to take place, MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!  :-)
