Qu'est ce que tu as fait pendant la fin de semaine?


Passé composé 
Le passé composé, comme son nom l'indique, est un temps du passé. Il exprime donc une action ou un fait qui a déjà eu lieu au moment où nous nous exprimons.  
S’il y a un « (e) », c’est parce que les filles mettent un autre « e » à la fin, mais les garçons ne le font pas. 
Par exemple : Je suis une femme donc je dirais : « Hier, je suis restée chez moi pour la journée. »  Parce que Steve est un garçon, il dirait : « Hier, je suis resté chez moi. »   
Ce n’est pas toujours nécessaire de faire ceci, seulement où tu vois (e) à la fin😊. 
C’était = it was   (pas le passé composé, mais c’est la façon qu’on dit                      « it was » en français).         Ex. « C’était une journée fantastique ».

What French will start to look like

Hi everyone,
First, I hope this email finds you well.  I know this will be a challenge for all of us as our daily routines are changing by the day.    I know as a parent it be overwhelming trying to help your child with continuing to learn French.  I will do my best to post some online tools that I find, post some questions that we work on in class and possibly post some worksheets/questions about the story that we are currently reading in class.

As a parent, I know we all want the best for our child and we want them to continue to learn.  I am here to answer questions and to give feedback on work that is given.  It is important to know that the work given is not to be assessed for report card marks.  The work is to give my students a chance to continue to learn.

There is no pressure with the work.  I know some of you are going to take on different responsibilities.  You are going to watch siblings, take on more chores, cook or take on anything you need to do to help your family right now.

For me personally, I will be working from home with my wife and 2 kids.  They are my world and I will spend time with them lots over the coming weeks.  I will teach them some school stuff, some house stuff and trying to keep their young minds engaged on learning and being physically active.


That is it for now

Wash you hands and stay safe.

Mr. Steinhoff

Work for the week of March 16-19

Grade 9
If your group has not presented your video, you can present it when we return after the break.  If you can find a way to email the video to me, that would be even better.

Grade 8
Every class has highlighted the brackets for Sylvie, Pierre and Rejean.  You then have to create 1 sentence per character per page they are on.
