The last week before Christmas! A busy and exciting few days before vacation. With that being said, our normal class routine will be somewhat interupted. A few videos "Me Voici 2" entitled "Ma Famille" have been placed on my page. The remainder will all be up by Friday. I am very pleased with their progress thus far. Aside from a few minor errors in their videos, everyone has and continues to progressing well in the course. They have come along way in 4 months! Bravo! As far as reading goes this week, much will be done in-class. I have set guided reading aside this week due to the many activities and practices taking place leading up to tomorrow's concert. We will read in class. Kelly Richard (math mentor) visited the class today and facilitated a Senteo math activity. Senteo is an electronic device students can use to answer questions. It looks similar to a remote control with a unique password for each student. After the holidays, my goal is to utilize this technology and administer mini-quizes once a week. Popcorn will be free for all students tomorrow. Youpi! Reminder to return all library books. The librarian would liek to have them before the holidays so that they can be placed back on the selves and catalogued. We will finish the week with a class party. We will watch Christmas videos, play games and decorate homemade gingerbread cookies compliments of my mother :P Their Christmas art, activites, and cards will all be sent home as well. Hope to see you all at the concert tomorrow. Happy Holidays!
