My goodness, I can't believe how long it has been since my last post.  We have been busy here in 5H!  Here are a few things that we have been doing: Our Remembrance Day ceremony went off very well.  Congratulations to Cassidy Coughlan, Kendra Jardine and Grace Steeves who read the poem "Au champ d'honneur" at the ceremony.  It is the French version of "In Flanders Fields".  I was so proud of how well they did!  Also, congratulations to Jenica Gallan for delivering the "Thank You" at the end of the ceremony.  It was heart-felt and well delivered.  Way to go Jenica! On Thursday, we had another presentation from Kouchibouquac Park.  The students really enjoy these. On Monday, students had a presentation by "Mad Science."  You will be getting a notice in your child's book bag today explaining the program that they will be putting on after school. In class, we have been doing a lot of writing.  We wrote our first letter to our pen pals from N.S.E.E.  We are anxiously awaiting their reply! Also, we have been working on writing narratives.  This is our first time trying this in Grade 5, and certainly the students' first time trying this in French.  So far the stories have been impressive! I have been busy working on report cards.  These will be going out early next week. Have a great week! Mme Jen
