The grade 4s were introduced to French question words. The grade 5s are also going over this concept.
I am posting 3 videos below to help the students with this concept (who, what, where, when, why, how- in French).
Both grades have also received a reference sheet with questions, pronouns, verbs, numbers, months, days of the week and a few extras. I am allowing students (for now) to use this reference sheet on tests.

Here are the three question videos:

Carnaval at Captain R Wilson is next Thursday the 27th.

I have explained carnaval to the grade 4s and 5s.

Here is a link to Carnaval games!!: http://www.carnaval.qc.ca/zone_jeux/

Here are a few carnaval songs to listen to till then:

En amour avec l’hiver:

Chanson du carnaval de Québec:

For extra help, helpful links or to discover a little bit more about French events in Ontario please visit the “Extra” page.
Included in this page is an English to French online dictionary.
I was telling the students not to use google translate as they often make mistakes. As they know translating a full sentence in any translator is not a good idea since it literally translates word for word and does not always make sense. However, using this dictionary for individual words is a great tool for writing, reading comprehension and learning new vocabulary.

The page also includes verb help, a reading website, games for kids as well as French events around the city and Ontario.

Enjoy!

I have updated the educational music page, took off the dead links and added the songs: O Canada, Bonjour, Alphabet, Assis et debout, Mon sac a dos, Arc en ciel (Colours).
There are now 15 songs instead of 11.

Please check out your grade’s page for updates and homework!
I am also on Twitter!

I will leave you with the song “Que dit le renard” the French version of a popular English electronic song:
