Grade 3/4 They started the day with singing Christmas songs then, the students wrote sentences with their favorite Christmas characters (from the hand puppet). So they had: bonhomme, père Noël, sapin, renne et lutin. The table who could sing one of the 5 songs won house points. Yay! Table 1.
Grade 7 The students followed a grid with words and had to make sentences. This was followed by a reading of Pauvre Anne. We have now completed up to chapter 8.
Grade 8 had a lesson on Futur Simple. It is suggested that the students review this thoroughly as these verbs require different endings. For practice, they have to make 15 sentences about their projects for the Christmas break.
Grade 5/6 We are almost done with the unit and today's work was on the partitive used with the negative: ne...pas de...
Wednesday, they will have their t-shirts and transfers ironed.
Grade 1/2 Today, we mixed Christmas with the names of shapes. Interesting! The students are still singing and using their holiday vocabulary.
JK/SK The children sang, recalled holiday vocabulary and had a colouring session. They had a great conversation going around the table about colours and everything they could name and locate on the activity sheet.

Grade 3/4 The students sat down for a holiday favorrite Casse-Noisette. They sang Mon petit soldat. The second story was Les douze jours de Noel and they were quick to pick the tune so they also sang this one. They also had a colouring activity where they had to locate a number of items lost in a snow storm.
Grade 7 The students listened to chapter 3-4 of Pauvre Anne. There a discussion on how the main character felt landing in Belgium and not having her host family at the airport.
Grade 8 continued their comprehension segment of a play. They should be done by Monday.
Grade 1/2 They performed their last rehearsal in the gym along their partners in JK/SK. Well done and good luck tonight.
JK/SK The students had a bit of a rehearsal with Grade 1/2. Then, they coloured a Christmas paper doll to take home as an ornement. They love to sing, so Mon petit soldat en chocolat was a returning favorite.

Grade 3/4 The students were in great spirit today and after completing their activity sheets on numbers 16-30, counting by ten to a hundred, by five to a hundred...they listened to 3 stories with numbers that they had to quickly add and while divided in their respective houses give the correct answer. Well!!! They nailed it every time! Next week they will be exchanging their own stories with numbers and holiday vocabulary.
Grade 7 started their Novel 'Pauvre Anne'. Chapter 1 & 2.
Grade 8 The students got together and made a list of all the grammar components in units 1/2/3 for reviewing and prepare their mid-terms in January 2016.
After completing this, they read a few scenes from the novel/play 'Toujours des amis'.
Grade 1/2 more practice and this time with audience! They are so keen and are great little mentors to the JK/SK who are also part of this concert with them.
They also resumed activities on vocabulary for toys and are beginning to see the difference between singular and plural and how to express it.
JK/SK after some practice for the concert, the students did a Christmas collage of a boot with laces and a special message for mom and dad.
