Winter is now in full swing, and with the unpredictable wild weather, the weeks have been getting cut short! Here is an update of some of the things that we have been working on up to date: Grade 6- Les robots: We now know how to describe what we do before, during and after school. Now we can begin to imagine what we would like our robots to do for us! Just think of the possibilities! This week we will finish our draft and good copies for the piece of writing.Great conversations have been unfolding and I am really pleased with your efforts! AWESOME WORK GRADE 6! Grade 7- Les inventions: We're on a roll! I bet you that everyone now knows who invented the paper clip and TV! Don't forget to let people know about how smart we Canadians are, and what we invented!We will finish our paragraphs on our inventions this week and I will be marking them.               3 questions to keep in mind: Qui a inventee l'invention, En quelle annee, A quoi sert. Grade 8- La musique: Ever wonder what your parents used to listen to their favorite tunes? Were taking a step back in time to find out. Ask your parents and grand-parents what they used. Ipods were not an option! Just imagine...Paragraphs on your opinions of music in the past should be handed in this week.  "THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A DREAM TO CREATE THE FUTURE! " -Victor Hugo

Back by popular demand, the art group will continue into the new year!!! Monday we will start up the art group again and begin to brainstorm some ideas of projects that we would like to take on. Bring any material that you would like to contribute to the group or anything that you may want to work on!  

Short but sweet, was a way to describe this week! I really enjoyed getting updated on everyone's holiday. The students were well rested and in good humour. A much needed break. The presentations of the people who brought something in for montre et racontre was awesome! Great work !!!  Next week we will kick off the new units!   Enjoy the weekend and don't forget that FRIDAY is "Montre et Racontre". Everyone should be prepared for that day, because you may be the one that has to present! Have an awesome weekend!!! See you all Monday :)
