Monday - students worked on their family tree using an infographic site called Easel.ly. They enjoyed creating their own family tree, and some even started to integrate some images of their family members.
Tuesday - students continued working on their family tree today. If they didn't finish their good copy in class, it was something that should have come home for homework. Wednesday - today we finished our work with the book "Samedi matin a la patinoire", and started reading "Un courriel a tante Suzanne". Students are really seeing success when it comes to reading in French. We are winding down our family unit, and will start the food unit on Monday!! Thursday - Friday -

MONDAY - As always we started our day with morning circle and a message du jour about the weekend. Students continue to impress me on their ability to comprehend and respond to texts, even with some challenges thrown in. We have continued to work on developing vocabulary about our families.
TUESDAY - Students worked on their Grand Projet today. They are designing their dream house, while keeping in mind the interests of their family members as a way to incorporate special rooms. Some students mentioned their mom's liking Tim Hortons coffee so they have included a special coffee room, while others mentioned they enjoy playing and watching sports with their family members so have included a family sports room. WEDNESDAY - Students continued working on their Grand Projet today. They edited their work and worked on the good copy. THURSDAY - Today we focused on oral language acquisition. Students directed the conversation and developed some new phrases in their repertoire. I am loving seeing got students responding to initial questions, and then other students jumping in and asking extension questions EN FRANCAIS!!! FRIDAY - Today we did our morning circle and a message du jour about what we are going to do on the weekend. They are starting to really develop a good understanding and ability to switch from past to future tense. MONDAY - In talking about our weekend, students started to understanding the "we" word so that they could say "this weekend we went to Canmore and we ate poutine". So far, we have learned a lot about how to speak about ourselves and are just starting to include others in our speech, and writing.
TUESDAY - Students completed the final reading of "Papa eat perdu" which was necessary to gain full understanding and be ready for our design challenge on Friday. We also continued talking about some of the characteristics of our family members. WEDNESDAY - We started our culminating project for the family unit designing our dream house for our family members. Students completed a structured brainstorming activity to get their ideas out in writing, and then the preliminary blueprint for their house. THURSDAY - We had animation studio in the morning and our design challenge in the afternoon. Although we didn't speak a lot of French today, the design challenge was a culminating activity for a book we read as a class. FRIDAY - Due to the Remembrance Day ceremony, we didn't have the chance for French today. Students should be ready for a week full of French next week. We will also be reading another book together. |
