French Program

Our French Program
French is taught by the classroom teacher in the primary grades. The curriculum used is Images and Visages at these levels. Grade 5 brings a change in French instruction in that students go to the French room and are take by a French teacher rather than their classroom teacher. This continues in grades 6 through 8.
Learning a language involves communicating with others. Students are encouraged to speak in French and daily introductory activities help to promote this. The curriculum is a continuation of the programs used in earlier grades. In grades 5 and 6 Visages 2 and 3 are used. Grades 7 and 8 students use the curriculum On Y Va 1 and On Y Va 2.
Through the use of games, skits and stories we explore the intricacies of the French language together.
