Austin helped Aidan with his French workbook on Saturday. Aidan needed to identify 4 nouns (noms communs), 4 adjectives and 4 verbs from a passage of 3-4 paragraphs. The book is based on Quebec curriculum, and Aidan's teacher explained that it will be a bit more advanced, and he will be well prepared for grade 4 French Immersion when we return, if he completes the book.
Austin hadn't really known what an adjective (adjectif) was, and he pulled from his foggy memory, that a verb (verbe) is an "action word." But once Austin understood the concept, he was off and away, helping Aidan with his selections. Austin is a good teacher. He doesn't just hand out the answer, and he is usually encouraging (though this can be challenging with a younger sibling, and the distraction of Bionicles waiting to be played with, when the work is done).
