An update of our week!

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is already the last day of Term 1! Where did the time go?

Here's a quick look at what we've been up to this week...

📚 Biblio! 📚

We love Day 5s when we visit the library with M. Sorokowski! We have a chance to read and check out books in both English and French! M. Sorokowski reads a ton of books and always has a new title ready to recommend!

🍅 Tomatoes! 🍅

Our tomato plants have started to germinate! We continue to make daily observations and, with the results we have already seen, have our own predictions as to which group is our control group and which is our experimental tomato group.

🎶 La musique francophone! 𝅃🎶

We have started a mini unit on music and have been listening to different francophone musicians in class. We have also been watching the vidéoclips (music videos) that go with each song. With each song we listen to, we have the opportunity to share our opinion of both the song and the video, using different sentence starters and the proper music vocabulary.

Over the next month, we will continue developing our critical thinking skills by reviewing a wide range of francophone music and supporting our opinions with specific details and references. Here is a link to one of the videos we watched in class today: "J'ai cherché" by Amir. Some of us found the video inspirational and thought the song had a good beat; others suggested the song was too repetitive and thought the video was depressing. Most of us liked that the refrain was in both French and English (not too common for francophone artists), but a couple of us thought that the English/French combo did not mesh well at all.
