Kapawe’no First Nation – Students in Grades 1, 2, 3, at Kapawe’no Nehiyewak School and Grade 10 at Buffalo Bay Academy have been diligently engaged in learning French this semester. “I am particularly proud of our elementary students, many of whom began with no prior experience in the language”, said French Teacher Ms April Adamson.
In our elementary French classes, the focus has been on phonetics and graphemes. Students have been learning to accurately pronounce vowel and consonant sounds, as well as common sound combinations. This foundational work is helping them develop strong early language skills.
At the high school level, our Grade 10 students have been learning basic greetings and everyday vocabulary, equipping them with practical language tools for real-life communication.
Learning a new language presents many challenges, and we commend all of our students both elementary and secondary for their enthusiasm, perseverance, and progress. They have truly risen to the occasion.
