French Jour du Souvenir Activity Pack:

Fun and engaging activity sheets to reinforce and explore French Phonics SOUNDS in the Kindergarten to Grade 3 French Immersion classroom. Students will love the intriguing graphics and have fun finding the target sounds, searching for Remembrance Day vocabulary, and building encoding and decoding skills with each activity. This activity aligns with the Science of Reading and blends well with all French programs across Canada and around the globe where French is being taught. Perfectly suits Son-au-graphe, Bien Lire, Aimer Lire, CBE French program, and Pratique Phonémique (all resources currently being used in Canadian French Immersion schools). Explore beginning phonics concepts with your students as they engage in fun and exciting Jour du Souvenir themed activities.

How to prepare this resource:

Prep for this activity DOES INCLUDE SOME TIME ON YOUR PART! Make a copy of each page, insert into clear pocket, dry erase pocket, or use as individual worksheets and watch as the giggles get started. My students LOVE these activities. I cannot make them fast enough.

Detailed instructions for each activity are set out at the top of each activity and could not be easier.

There is a little cutting and laminating involved with some activities but many use clear folders to make your job easier!

Perfect for a sub binder, emergency plans, or as a back up activity when you happen to have a few minutes to spare. A great set to have on hand as an extra centre activity at Remembrance Day/Veteran's Day time. Your K-3 Immersion students will love them!

When to use this resource in the classroom:

These activity sheets are Jour du Souvenir themed and can be used for the entire month of November and even into the week following Halloween. Students love using them and they can be helpful for follow-up assessment.

I hope your students enjoy learning their vowel sounds and exploring phonemic awareness with a Remembrance Day Theme!

Appropriate audience:

I use these activities in my French Immersion classroom with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students. I feel confident that they could be used for any grade from Kindergarten to Grade three.

Here's what a few teachers are saying about resources in my store:

Jennifer H. stated:

My board has moved toward a strong literacy/phonics focus in Gr. 1/2. This resource was great because it fit in so perfectly with what students had experienced in English and what I needed to teacher. Loved it.

Julie G. said:

***** Extremely satisfied

This has been a fun way for students to review their letters. I love that each page gives students an opportunity to write the letter, find the letter and find the sounds. Merci!

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from Kindergarten to Grade Three will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

Remember Unity Day and Orange Shirt Day with this engaging and educational foldable craft activity designed for 2nd to 5th-grade students. This resource promotes awareness of the importance of unity, kindness, and the message "Every Child Matters." It features four unique shirt designs, two characters (a boy and a girl), and two (groups of friends) reflecting unity to encourage creativity and personal expression.

(Orange Shirt Day is a day of remembrance that originated in Canada to honor the survivors and victims of the residential school system. It is observed annually on September 30th. The day aims to raise awareness about the history and long-lasting effects of residential schools, which were institutions where the government forcibly sent Indigenous children in an attempt to assimilate them into Euro-Canadian culture. Many of these children experienced abuse, neglect, and loss of their cultural identities.)

What's Included:

• 4 shirt templates in different styles
• 2 character options (boy and girl)
• Groups of friends (2 slides)
• 12+ Orange Shirt Day-themed questions
