Reminders for Thursday, November 17th – Field Trip Tomorrow!

November 17, 2016 Ms. D

Hi Everyone!

Reminders for tonight:

Field Trip Tomorrow: You might want to read some of the nano articles found under the articles of interest under Structures, such as the Nanooze Magazine from Cornell University. Please do not bring valuables. Bring a lunch, water, and a snack. Bring a light jacket and very little else! No, sorry, there won’t be time to get White Spot, so please bring a lunch. We leave promptly at 9AM. Thank you to Michael’s Mom, Vaughn’s Mom, and Patricia’s Dad for accompanying us this time.
French for French Immersion Students: Continue to brainstorm your dialogue, in which you are pretending to arrive at a country that is not France for a two week vacation, and you meet a friend on the plane. You may need to do some research on your country and city so you have real things to talk about! Thank you for your great work today in partner groups. Due Wednesday for presentation.
French for Beginners: Review Je French 3. Next Wednesday you will get a quick quiz with the nouns from that lesson listed, and you have to fill in the articles “a” or “the” — so you need to know the difference between the masculine (m) and the feminine (f) forms. You do not need to memorize the nouns. On Monday, you will get more time to work with your partner on your very brief dialogue that reviews what we have done so far. You can find additional words to say at BBC Primary Languages. Pronunciation is key, so practice phrases aloud.
Research: We will be getting class time for research, but you may want to look for book and internet resources on your own. The project description is found here. We will be working on this most of next week. If you want to use World Book Online at home, remember you just need the password. If you missed writing it down today, make sure you do that tomorrow.
Math Packet 2 Quiz Monday
Holiday Party: The student holiday party committee made a notice to send out to everyone today. Please return as soon as you can. When they are talking about donations, they mean only $2, which we talked about in class. Don’t donate if you are bringing something else to the party from the list. Thank you to the students for independently organizing this notice and the party, which is great leadership!

Thank you, everyone!
