Bonjours mes amies.  Le printemps est arrivé!  It is the school book fair this week.  We will be visiting the book display on Monday at 11:40. Books will be for sale until March 24th.  We also have a Mango Challenge this week too.  A notice will be going home tomorrow with more details.  Good luck to Matthew R. and Patrick who will going to the District 16 Science Fair on Wednesday.  It will be held at Gretna Green so they will not be going too far.  In Math this week we will have our final quiz on Fractions.  This unit test will take place on Wednesday.  We will then start a new unit on subtraction followed by division.  You will see that division is simply repeated subtraction.  In French we will be looking at our next traits, voice and detail.  We will work on phase two of our monster stories and create another "new and improved" copy with added voice and detail.  We will also begin responding to our reading in French this week with writing journals.  Our theme song this week will be "Le Printemps" - Spring Time.  I will also explain to you our new format for cursive writing.  We will also be having our spelling test on Friday. Tips will also be given for finding answers to reading comperehension activities in French quickly.   In Science will be starting with a series of projects on problem based learning activities.  We are going to the Olympics ... you will love it!

The class read the book Plop le Poisson during read aloud this week and it was a big hit!  We thought it would be a great idea to record the song that goes along with the book.  A lot of research supports supplementing the comprehension of text with music.  I must say it does work! We hope you enjoy our singing talent.
