French

Assalam Alaikoum  

 Dear Parents,

 I hope my email finds you in good health and Eman

This week, your child began a new unit: Comment y aller?

Our second unit is based on an experience of a girl who lives in Québec.

She decides to visit her friend who lives in Paris. She ends up taking

numerous methods of transportation in order to finally reach her destination.

The story is entitled Comment y aller? (How do I get there?). Your

child will continue to increase her/his vocabulary in French by using the

Gesture Approach and will also review previously learned words with the

associated gestures. Please encourage your child to continue to share

with you what s/he is learning in French class. At the end of this unit,

your child will make another presentation to you and other family members.

Once again, at-home video/DVD support with the accompanying text

is available for your son or daughter as s/he progresses through this unit.

The video/DVD contains all the gestured vocabulary taught during this

unit, as well as the play  performed by students. A few minutes

spent several times each week watching different segments of this

video/DVD is a beneficial review for your child. A suggested schedule for

practicing with the video/DVD accompanies this letter. Homework relating

to this unit begins in the first week of the unit, and the initial homework

is review of gestured vocabulary introduced in the first unit. Please encourage

your son or daughter to spend some time reviewing the gestures,

play, song – don’t hesitate to ask your child to explain the

various components of the video/DVD.

Au revoir!

 

   In order to do well in French this term, your child will:

•  participate actively in class, in French only;

•  work cooperatively with others in the class while answering questions;

•  learn the gestures covered in class;

•  learn the gesture associations;

•  participate in songs, chants, and games with enthusiasm;

•  complete class work;

•  seek help when needed.

 Assessment

Students will be assessed on their ability to:

•  learn the words in this unit;

•  use French spontaneously, both with the teacher and with peers;

•  pronounce words correctly;

•  answer questions based on the story;

•  perform the play;

•  listen well;

•  cooperate with peers while working with a partner;

•  participate with enthusiasm;

•  complete work on time;

•  stay focused and productive in class.

   I am looking forward to working with your child. Please don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions regarding this outline or your child’s progress. Please encourage your child to share with you what and how s/he is learning in French class.

Classwork

Dear Parents

As-salamu-Alaikum,

Spelling:  Students wrote their spelling quiz (lesson 13-17), and they marked each other's work. We will do the review exercises next week insha-Allah as we had to go to attend the MS-readathon assembly in the gym. There will be no spelling test next Monday as we covered the review lessons this week.

Math: Students completed page 39 in their math books where they wrote two doubles facts to help them find the sums.

Science: We started to learn about liquids. We talked about how we distinguish between solids and  liquids. To show the concept, we did an experiment where wooden blocks were placed in a clear plastic glass and coloured water was poured into a second glass. The two were compared to show that a liquid will fill the bottom of a container, while a solid will leave space. The water was then poured into a different glass to show the concept that a liquid will take the shape of whatever container it is in. We then documented this knowledge by drawing the containers, containing both the blocks and the water, and by answering a few questions.

Gym: We played Freeze Tag.


Reminders:

• Tomorrow is Toonie Tuesday.
• On Wednesday we are making fruit kababs for health class.Please send a sliced fruit along with your child,( The options are strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, cantaloupe, banana).
