le 31 octobre

It's been a busy couple of months "a l'ecole".  Students have been busy in French learning about Halloween, Montreal, Paris and other communities!
Each month starting in November, students will have a listening quiz about the questions they ask each other daily in French. Students will write the answers to these familiar questions (spelling doesn't count).  The way to study is to listen in class!!
Other French tests this month will be about stories or topics we have been studying French.
Gr.6/7/8  Nov.8 Listening quiz on daily questions

Vive la rentrée! Welcome back to school!

Bienvenue à SWOPS!! All students taking French would benefit from having a small binder with inside pockets, pencil crayons and a French-English dictionary.  I am looking forward to another fun year where students use French everyday! There are some great links on this webpage to practice your French, with or without a partner. Turn your speakers on, too! A bientot! (Tell Madame the title of this blog the first week of school for a surprise.)

FRENCH CAFE MARCH 29, 2012!!

We are having a French Cafe at SWOPS on March 29!  There will be croissants, jus, etc.! Intermediate students will be "les serveurs et les serveuses".  Junior students will be the "invites" (guests).  All students will contribute their work in different ways to make this a fun learning experience. There is no cost to the students, as Madame McConville has arranged funding. Cafe Osler!
