Happy Holidays!!!!

I would like to wish you and your family a very Happy Holidays!!!

Students have been asked to think about a concours d'art (French speech) topic over the Holidays. They can either make up a story (ex// a funny story that happened to them), write a persuasive piece (ex//why it is important to recycle) or and informative piece about an interesting topic. Should students need to do research for their topic, they are strongly encouraged to do so over the break (if they have time) as we only have 7 i-pads available for research in class.

I have also asked students to make a point of doing Xtra-Math practice on a daily basis when possible to do so. This will better prepare them for our 3 and 4 digit addition or subtraction unit when we return in January.

**Students were also given the option of bringing two or three French books home for home reading over the break!

I hope you have a wonderful two weeks with your family and I will see you in the New Year!

The places we've been

As we begin our study of world geography, students have been asked to bring in a list of the different places that we have travelled to. It is our hope to identify on our classroom map all the different destinations that we have been to.

Thank you for your continued support!

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow, December 1st, is early dismissal. Students will be dismissed at 3:30 p.m.

French T.U.S.C.

Today students were assigned their new roles for the December T.U.S.C. Now that they have had practice with preparing a one minute presentation, I would like for them to have the opportunity to do the same in French. The roles stay the same and they have bilingual copies of each worksheet that they can refer to if they are unsure of any words on the French worksheet.

They can also use the website : www.wordreference.com to help them translate words. (No google translate please!!!)

I am also more than happy to help any student who wishes to stay in for a recess or lunch hour with help looking over or writing their presentation, so long as they let me know ahead of time.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
