Resources to help my child with French and Social Studies

Practice your French pronunciation using Read & Write for Google Chrome!
• Click here for a quick tutorial on how to use this great resource!
  • You should hear your child speak it, not just reading in their head
• Read the News in French

• Click here for some resources! (Slide 3, 4 and 6) are French only media
• Ask your Social Studies teacher for some Monde en Marche reading comprehension enrichment activities
• Watch TV in French for free using the internet (a challenge!)
• Here are some of my favorite French TV shows:
  • Le Téléjournal (news review from Radio-Canada from the night before)
  • Découverte (mostly science related, very fun!)
  • Oniva (TV for youth on a lot of subjects)
  • Les chefs! (Québec’s most popular cooking show)
  • De garde 24/7 (documentary that follows the jobs of health care workers in Montreal (some surgeries scenes))
• Listen to the radio (quite hard, but good to practice listening skills)
  • Radio-Canada
• Try to analyse some political cartoons as a family!
  • Here are some sites to find some (*Some cartoons may not be appropriate!*)
    • Canada politics - French
    • USA News - English
    • USA politics : The week - English
• Watch for age appropriate French content (movies, etc.) on your streaming subscriptions, such as Netflix, Crave, etc.
  • Even when watching a movie in English as a family, put the French subtitles!

My child arrives at home and says “I don’t have any homework!”

• How to study
• Assessment & Reporting

You will find below, three links that provide some guidance in regards to accessing apps/information for your own convenience. On our website calendar you will find the major events taking place at our school. In the daily bulletin you will find two slides: one that covers all athletics events (practices, games, location and time) and one that covers other events on top of all other slides covering announcements and menus.

Please note that the MyCBE / Powerschool link allows you to see assessments and attendance. Furthermore, when you go into your MyCBE / Powerschool account, when you look on the left hand side of the screen, there is a menu. If you click on the Apps item, it will bring up a page that includes School Conferences. This is where you will go to sign up for Parent-Teacher Interviews.

You will also find a reminder about what constitutes an excused or non-excused absence. We want to clarify that a call is needed for all absences but some absences will be considered as not excused even if a parent has called it in. For more information visit our attendance information.

Hope you find this helpful and let us know if you need something else in terms of communication with you.
