Chanson vendredi

This week, grades 4/5, 6, and 7/8 listened to Mercy, France's entry for this year's Eurovision song contest, and read an article about its origins. 

Grade 3/4 worked on word recognition with Tourne, tourne petit moulin and also listened to Mercy.

Grade 1/2 and 2/3 discussed where in the world people speak French (La Francophonie), different accents or speech patterns in French and English, and listened to two versions of "Let it go" from the movie Frozen in two varieties of French.

Group Novel study

Grades 4/5 and 6 are beginning a group novel study based on L'ecole des parents by Gilles Tibo. (Summary here). Students will be creating personal dictionaries, completing reading response activities, and creating their own courses for a 'school for parents'.
