Inquiry Project

As I mentioned, we are working on an inquiry project to do with our unit on communities. We have already done a lot of talking about what a community is and what is in one. We know that a community includes places for people to live, work, learn and play as well as people and places that help keep us safe. We have started looking at and reading maps and we have designed our own communities. Each student is now going to focus on one place in our community and dig a little deeper into what purpose it serves. Your researcher will be bringing home some questions to ask you to help with their project. They will also be looking for their place during our neighbourhood walk and taking a picture of it so that they can create a store-front picture to put on the College Street map we are building.
Ask your researcher what place in the community they are in charge of finding on our walk tomorrow!

Please ensure your researcher comes to school dressed for the weather. This includes sunscreen (already applied please), comfortable shoes for walking, a hat and a water bottle.

Words of the Week

Our final sound review for the year!

We have learned that many times, the final consonant on French words is silent, and normally this would be true in the word “allons”. However, when the final consonant is an s, and the next word begins with a vowel, we usually make a liaison. In other words, we use the s to connect the two words - it’s easier to say that way. This occurs here, in the phrase “allons-y” (=let’s go).

allons-y, crayon, continue, rond, un pont, foncé, long, onze, monde, ballon

Bonus words: ils font, ils vont
