First Week Fun!

Wow!!

It is so hard to believe that it is the third week of school already!! Didn't we JUST start?!

To sum it all up ... so far, so good! It's going to be a GREAT year!

The past few weeks have been spent learning all about one another, getting settled into routines and schedules, speaking FRENCH and taking tons of pictures along the way.

Here's a glimpse of what we've been up to:

In Grade 3/4 French, we talked lots about school rules and expectations. What better way to do this then to read "David va a l'ecole". That David is always up to no good!

Check out the following link to a cute (and free) David Craftivity from Fall into First ... I used it as a springboard, but decided that at a Grade 3/4 level, they would be able to make their own David's. You be the judge, but I think they're cute!

 

 

We brainstormed all the naughty things David did and then decided to turn it around to write about the things that he could do - to teach him right from wrong. The writing activity attached to it was "Oui, David! Tu peux ..." We had sentences starters (a discussion about verbs - yay!) on the board and students chose which one they would act out and write about. Too cute. They also completed a 'sort' "oui tu peux" or "non tu ne peux pas" activity from the following website: http://clin.ac-mayotte.fr/spip.php?article56 This website had TONS of resources - including a modified/shorter scanned version of the story in French.

The 1/2 Core French group also did the David activity - but in a shorter, more age appropriate kind of way. For instance, we read the story, talked about what not to do, made the David crafts (from Fall into First) and then wrote "Non David" on a sentence strip. It was so cute to see their ideas of David - some made David exactly the way he looks, striped blue shirt and all, and others went wayyyy outside the box and made him all different colours, holding one hand in the air and the other on his pants to duplicate the page where David keeps asking to go to the bathroom!!

This week, we've been integrating technology (whooohooo - 10 new Ipad Minis for the school). Stay tuned to what we've been learning!

TTFN,
