Happy Family Day Weekend

Happy Family Day Weekend! No school on Monday.

Congratulations to everyone on a job well done presenting our reader’s theatre stories this morning! You delivered your lines with great expression and the classes enjoyed your presentations. Thank you for your hard work on creative props and costumes, and thank you for adding to the school’s Literacy Week celebration!

In Science, please answer at least one question for your animals research or add detail to the research you have. I encourage you, if you are in town, to visit the public library and try to use books for your research, as well.

For French, I have given out a packet to complete and study on the parts of the body. Homework is do two pages, which we started in class. Everyone will write a short description of themselves in French using vocabulary from this packet and those to come. There will be a quiz on the words during the week of Feb. 15, so please practice them by completing the work and saying the words aloud.

As regards our recent spelling quiz. If you had trouble with the words, I asked you to write them again. I think it is important to practice words we use frequently; however, I look mainly at your project work for language arts marks. Quizzes CAN make you aware of words you don’t know as well and encourage you to practice. Even if you make frequent spelling errors, the more important thing is that you know how to edit. Practicing words allows us to recognize them when misspelled. Know which tools can help you spell properly, and take the time to edit and present your work well.

Have a great weekend!
