Oct. 24

Hello!  Hello!

We are quickly approaching the end of our second month of school.  We have had a busy couple of months and it is only going to get busier.

Conferences are scheduled for Nov. 1.  If you cannot make your conference, please email me and we can set up an alternate time or an alternate day.  Please bring your child to conferences.  We will be going over the goals that they set and show you their achievements!  I will have a mini-report card for you as well.

New due dates:

• Current Events (in French) – Oct. 31; Nov. 12; Nov. 28; Dec. 13; Dec. 20
• Rapport du livre and Book Report – Nov. 29 – Students are required to write a book report in both English and French.  They will be required to present the French book report from the point of view of one of the characters.
• Outsiders Novel Study – Portfolio, questions, all assignments due on Nov. 7.  We are watching the movie on Nov. 12.  We are finishing off the novel study with a “rumble” on Nov. 15.

Our first “Homework Hot Box” went extremely well.  Students with missing assignments were required to go to the library and work until their assignments were completed.  Next “Homework Hot Box” is scheduled for next week.  Again, students with missing work will be required to attend.

Dec. 3 — We are walking over to Sheldon to attend their presentation of “Shrek the Musical”.  Students will require a lunch that day.

Have a great day!
