French updates


 


Assalam Alaikum Dear Parents:

In French, through our story *Chat Angora*, we are working on building fluency in oral communication and reading. We have daily kinesthetic vocabulary review using gestures as stated in Aim Language curriculum. We focus particularly on the use of verbs. These help students to acquire and / or to enhance the oral use of French language in their daily life.

We have also almost daily reading. We focus on the correct French pronunciation and on the expression.

We are of course working on our writing; so far we did many activities (related to the story) that combine reading and writing:

1.       Choisis le bon mot: The sentence is written with a space and a word bank is provided. Students read the sentence and fill up the blank with the correct word from the bank.

2.       Les mots en ordre: Students have to put the words in order to form a sentence and write it.

3.       Les phrases coupées: Students match 2 parts of a sentence and write the complete sentence.

4.       Les mots qui riment: Students match the rhyming words provided. After that, they look for the rhyming words in the story.

5.       Les questions totales: In this activity the complete answer is in the question, students cross out all the extra vocabulary and the question mark. They write the answer using capitalization and the period at the end of the sentence.

6.       The plural of the verbs : il/elle  fait, ils/elles font; il /elle va, ils/elles  vont;

7.       The contraction : la  école ----˃ l’école

8.       Double verbs  construction

9.       The opposites

All the activities are modeled in class several times before any homework is assigned.

In any communication, oral or written, students are expected to use complete sentences. They are also required to speak only in French during French class.

For French tests, students have spelling words, an activity we have worked on and a grammar question. For the evaluation, the activity and the grammar have more weight than the spelling.

The purpose of the spelling is to help students to become familiar with the French orthography in order to prepare them for the creative writing activity we are having at the end of the unit.

If you have any question you can contact me by calling the school or by email.

Jazakum Allah Kheiran for your cooperation

Our students are reminded of the importance of creating and maintaining caring and safe environment at Abraar School.

I encourage our valuable parents and guardians to read the information about bullying,  that I started  to post on the school blog yesterday and I will continue till the end of this  week,  to help their children at home.We need to work all of us inshaAllah towards having  Abraar School as a safe and caring school.

Social studies Project

    
On behalf of Tr.Merve.


                                                        

Alsalamo Alikom dear parents,
 
We have been learning about Aboriginal people and the different types of Aboriginal groups.  I have assigned a project. I have given my students two different assignments. Some students are assigned to investigate the “Head smashed- in Buffalo Jump” and some on “Role of the Canoe in the Fur trade”.
The outline for” Role of the Canoe in the Fur Trade”:
“Fur trades in early Canada depended on the canoe for transportation. We would begin our journey by packing our supplies, goods, and passengers. We would paddle for days, unpack and carry our belongings when we reached foot trails, and then repack them when we reached another waterway.”
Use the five Ws and “How” to investigate the role of the canoe in the fur trade
Who – taught the fur traders how to canoe?
What – was “portaging” and what were “portages”?
When- would the fur traders have to unpack or repack?
Where – would each journey begin and where would it end?
Why – was the canoe a faster way to travel around Canada?
How – many passengers would there be in a journey?
The outline for “Head smashed – in buffalo Jump”
UNESCO (United Nation Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) names certain sites all over the world for their uniqueness and importance in defining our history, and head Smashed-in Buffalo jump is one of them.
Use the five Ws to investigate this site:
Why - is it called “Head Smashed- in Buffalo Jump?
What - are some of the features of this site?
Where - is it?
Who - were the people that used this site?
When- was it in history when these people used this site?
You are to illustrate your work in a booklet.
Once completed, you will present to the class

Due date: Wednesday Nov.07
