Grade 4 Oral Communication

Hello Parents,

Welcome to our newly added Grade 4 French blog.  In this blog, you will find many valuable resources you may want to review with your child. I will be using this blog as a communication tool to update you on your child's learning as well as offer some home support I encourage you to review with you child.

The links below have been practiced in class. Click on the links to access the the French videos.

We have been reading the words for "C'est l'Hallowe'en   by Matt Maxwell in class. The following video puts the words to music. Pleas practice singing at home. Ask your child to explain the meaning of each verse.




We have been spending much time reviewing "le verbe avoir" (the verb "to have") This  catchy little song helps with the memory of the verb. Please practice your verb at home. 



Have you memorized your verbs? Bravo my friends! 
Parents ask you child the following questions:

What is...
the first person singular of the verb avoir? .....Answer: J'ai
the second person singular of the verb avoir? ..Answer: Tu as
the third person singular of the verb avoir, masculine? .....Answer: ll a
the third person singular of the verb avoir, feminine? .....Answer: Elle a

the second person plural of the verb avoir? .....Answer: Vous avez 
the third person plural of the verb avoir, masculine? .....Answer: lls ont
the third person plural of the verb avoir, feminine? .....Answer: Elles ont

As an extension activity, can you make up sentences using any of the verbs above and something you might find in you school bag or in the classroom?

Eg. J'ai un crayon.
