Last week was the end to our volleyball season. Everyone worked so hard and improved a ton. They were a pleasure to watch. Special thank you to John Kim, Ms. Walker, and Ms. Friesen for coaching and supporting the team. We will be having an end of season celebration the last week before the break and we are asking players to bring in $5 each for a gift for John and to pay for our pizza party.
Students wrote a French quiz today and most of the Gr. 7s did not pass. This test is on the verbs "avoir" and "etre" as well as the adjectives we discussed in class. Students needed to memorize those words and this is a skill that needs some practice. I encouraged kids to try quizlet.com or make themselves flashcards to help them. There will be a retest on Monday, Dec 8th. Study! Repetition is the key!
Division 2 will be performing at the Winter Concert this year along with the other Gr. 6/7 classes. There will be both an afternoon and evening show. If your child cannot attend either concert, please let us know. We will also be singing a French Christmas carol during school caroling on Tuesday.
Coming up this week, kids should be collecting research and materials to research for their Extreme Environments essay. On Wednesday, we have limited computer access, so if possible, students are encouraged to bring their own technology, print out online articles, or bring in library books, etc. Just a reminder that they need a bibliography, so if you are helping them find resources make sure they write down the bibliographic information.
18 days until Winter Break!
