French- Good news for those of you who did a practice run of your presentation "Un auto des années ___"... They were so well done -I am considering this part of the assignment as "un fait accompli". You will not need to present this material upon our return to in-class learning. You can now focus on completing the diagram of interior and exterior features. Be sure to mention any characteristics unique to your vehicule. For instance; with my truck, I would definitely mention the "coffre intégré" the (in bed trunk). Our next class meeting is not until Tuesday-this gives the rest of you plenty of time to prepare for the oral presentation.

Grade 8B and 8M Music classes- Those of you who have guitars at home- I have already sent you the lyrics/chord sheets with accompaniment. Keep on practicing. No guitar?-No problem!  Go over the vocal parts.

Grade 7-8 M- Be watching for a message on Teams regarding our upcoming events. 

Have a great weekend everyone. Stay safe! 

Remembrance Day is coming-you could maybe go over O Canada in English and French as well as God Save the Queen. You can find these on youtube (with parent supervision). If we are out for an extended period of time- (which I hope not) I will arrange to send to you, the accompaniment we use in class. During the Act of Remembrance-you are also responsible to learn one verse from the poem "For the Fallen" we recite this following the minute of silence in the following order:  

Stand for playing of the Last Post-Minute of Silence -Poem Recitation and playing of the Reveille

"They shall grow not old-as we that are left grow old

Age shall not weary them; nor the years condemn

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them."

Reminder -We will be having a playing test during music classes on Monday Oct. 4th and Wednesday Oct. 6th. You are responsible for the following chords: D+   b-6    G+ and A+. Nothing to panic over- you can play with your Music Stand groupings of three people. Think of proper holding position- correct fingerings and be sure to use correct number of strings when strumming each of the chords. We have already played these chords last year- I am looking forward to hearing an improved clarity of sound. Also- it might be a good idea to clip those nails on the left hand! Fingers 1-2-3 (index-third and ring finger).
