3. Be able to list 3 er verbs, 3 ir verbs and 3 re verbs and write their meaning.
4. Given a variety of sentences, students must be able to write in the correct form of the verb.
For example - (chanter) Marc et Lise chantons.


Period Four - Social 6B
The first part of the class was spent making video clips of students testimonials and advice for next years' grade 6 class.  The students created video clips that identified what the grade 5's have to look forward to, what they miss about PJ Gillen and words of advice.

We then moved on to Social. 
Many students have completed their research and are working hard on their presentation, typing up their notes and finding pictures for their display. Students will have 3-4 more classes to complete this. We are looking forward to our heritage fair! Please remember to bring the $5 for the Tri-fold board. Students will need their tri-fold boards within the next two or three classes!
