 Bienvenue à Apprendre à la maison

4/5 Duffy

Semaine 2

Dear parents and students, 

Welcome back to home learning opportunities for grade 4/5D week 2. I hope you are finding yourselves happy, healthy and have spent a wonderful long weekend at home. Please see the attached agenda in the attachments section below. This agenda is very flexible, you can make any changes you need. Nothing is mandatory or required, these are options for home learning. The included agenda is an example of what home learning could look like this week but you have to do what works best for you.  

French Literacy

Read in French (10 to 15 minutes daily): This week, I have recorded guided reading books for you. These books are similar to those we use each week in class.

Click on the links below to listen to Mlle Duffy reading the book and then try to read the book yourself (you can pause the video if you need more time to read). 

If you are unsure what book or level to choose, please send me an e-mail and I will send you your title. paula.duffy@nbed.nb.ca

You can use this same book each day just like we do in class.  This helps with fluency.

If you still want to use Je Lis or Epic! Go ahead…I’m Happy if you’re Happy J
