C'est l'hiver!

Bonjour!

We continued to talk about winter. Our kindergarten friends completed exercises related to winter clothing. We did a cut and paste activity where we match the words with the correct clothing item.

The Grade 1s learned the difference between un, une, and des:

un, une and des are the french equivalents for a and some. 

un is used for masculine things and une for feminine things. 

des is used for things that are more than one (plural) regardless of the gender. 

We took turns going up to the board to practice figuring out whether the word uses un (masculine), une (feminine), or des (plural) and then completed a worksheet.

 

All the classes have been learning about winter activities/sports. We talked about our favourite winter activity/sport by completing the phrase: "J'aime...".
We played charades to guess the activities/sports.

Of course, the number of activities are taught according to their level. For example, JKs learned a few simple ones and the SKs & Grade 1s learned a couple more activity phrases. 

The Grade 1s learned a new song about winter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEINdfUmxsQ

 

Bonne Année! Happy 2019!

Bonjour la famille de St Jude's! Bonne Année! Happy 2019!

We had a great start to the new year! All students were ready to learn as soon as we got back.

During first week, we talked about what we did over the holidays.

Grade 1s wrote about what they did over the holidays and drew a picture in their journals.

The Grade 1s also wrote about what they need to improve on this year regarding responsibilities which we talked about in our first unit (e.g. Je dois...écouter mon papa et maman "I need to... listen to mom and dad".)
 

This term, we are focusing on the theme of winter. We sang a song about winter (please see link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sifBNR2Uz4g) and learned new vocabulary related to winter clothing. We learned to say what we wear during winter in a complete sentence (e.g. En hiver, je porte _____________. "In the winter, I am wearing _________.") We did various activities to practice our vocabulary including games and worksheets.
