Grade 4 Extended French

Summer vacation is upon us...only a few weeks left!  It is an exciting time but many parents worry about their children losing what they have learned over the 2 month break.  I have put together a list of websites which I find useful for ideas to keep your child's mind actively engaged throughout the break.  I hope you find the links helpful too!

lundi, le 5 juin: The students had Art and a special Rugby presentation during their Library period today. In français, we went over vocabulary for les sports, les activités, les verbes, et les équipements. Next we reviewed the verb faire de. In Math, the students had a probability test on google classroom. We had Reading Buddies, followed by more time to complete the Math test. We ran out of time for English, but I have sent them home with a review sheet on similes and metaphors to review what we have been doing in class. Just a reminder that this coming Thursday is our school's Jump Rope for Heart Event.  Try to get the donation envelopes in before the event.  Also, Friday is a PA Day.  There will be no school for students on that day. mardi, le 6 juin: In français, the students did some translation work using jouer, faire, les activités, and les endroits. In Sciences Sociales, we reviewed the different stages to become a knight in the Midd
