I will guide your child through the system and the following information will be requested when they set up their personal account (just so they can be prepared):

  • Email
  • Gender
  • Phone
  • Address
  • Postal code
  • City
  • Province
  • Country
  • Date of birth

It’s all pretty straightforward, but we wanted to make you aware of what they will be sharing.  Again, the testing date will be June 5th,  2024 and there is a fee of $125.00, which will be paid by e-transfer at etransfer@theojcs.ca (please share your child’s name and the word DELF in the note/memo area).
 
A non-refundable fee of $75.00 will be charged for cancellations and test date changes.  Please note that the  Alliance Française Ottawa has stated that no refunds or test date changes will be accepted after May 10th , 2024.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Dear  Parents,

The DELF is an internationally recognized certification of French proficiency. It certifies the student for life at the level they wrote the exam, and enriches the student’s educational or professional portfolio. DELF certifications at certain levels are required for acceptance into certain high school and postsecondary institutions.

The benefit of DELF

The benefits of completing the DELF proficiency exam are: Official proof of a student’s French language skills. Recognized in 160 countries. Recognized by universities, employers and the Canadian Federal Government. The certification is valid for life. Helps students set future language learning goals.

The exam measures a student’s ability to use French in everyday life. Students’ French skills are measured across four areas: Listening; Speaking; Reading; Writing.

Hope to see you (virtually)  on Tuesday 13th at 7.30 pm.

Best Regards,

Wanda

We are starting a new unit in Littératie en action 8 called Un nouveau départ! Students will
explore the unit question, “Why do people move?” They will read stories about how people
react to what happens in their lives. Students will also read and view news reports, photo
essays, interviews, a poem and a graphic story based on the unit topic.
The learning goals for this unit include
Reading
Students will practise and apply the following comprehension strategies: make connections,
find clues to word meaning, pause and check, interpret primary sources, and summarize.
Writing
Students will learn about the report text form. They will write their own reports.
Oral Communication
Students will practise skills and strategies for conducting an interview.
Media Literacy
Students will analyze online research. They will learn and use the strategies for analysing
the point of view and reliability of a Web site.
At the end of the unit, students will show what they have learned by creating an archive

to complete the task.
You can support the learning goals for this unit at home by discussing the unit topic,

Hello dear Parents, colleagues and students,

We started the year with the following video :

Please watch it and read your child’s resolutions for the new school year in their blogfolio.

  • Réflexion sur la vidéo suivante. Ecrire le vocabulaire partagé .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkziAM_ZyDM   Will Smith…awesome!!!

 

The concept of a growth mindset and its importance in education.  Growth mindset is not just about effort, but also about trying new strategies and seeking input from others. We also learned that misconception of equating effort with learning, and the need to focus on the goal of learning and improving.

Teachers in helping students develop a growth mindset by appreciating their efforts and guiding them towards new approaches when they are stuck.

This video is specifically designed to capture the interest of kids in grades 5 to 8. It aims to address their curiosity about how they can enhance their intelligence and become smarter. The content of the video is engaging and interactive, making it suitable for children in this age range. It covers various topics and strategies that can help kids improve their cognitive abilities, such as problem-solving techniques, memory exercises, and critical thinking skills. The video also includes real-life examples and relatable scenarios to make the learning experience more enjoyable and relatable for the target audience.

 

 

Welcome Back to School !
