Le coin français
This week, students explored what a dictionary is and how it can be used to locate words and their meaning. We used this exploration as a jumping off point to create our own visual dictionary that is now posted in the hallway. This will be a collaborative effort between all the grade one French Immersion classes and will help build a strong understanding of vocabulary in French for reading, writing and comprehension based on complex sounds. We can't wait to show you more pictures as our visual wall dictionary comes to life!
Etudes Sociales
We have been exploring the concept of community and did a survey of the communities we live in. We also discussed what is important in a community and took at look at the community of Tuscany using Google Earth. It was pretty neat to have this "bird's eye view". We located the school as an important landmark (un point de répère).
Carnaval de Tuscany Kick Off
Students created their effigies and have now placed them on their coats. Did you know that the effigy is a collectors item and is essentially "your ticket" to Carnaval? Bonhomme visited our classroom a few times this week and we showed Bonhomme our "danse des pingouins". We also enjoyed a virtual concert by Folk lo folie that was very memorable. Students were immersed in Franco-Albertan culture through song and dance and learned how to play the spoons.
Our Carnaval events take us outside next weeks so please remember to dress warmly. Bring your ice blocks with cartons removed on Tuesday. Merci!
