CFOO

In Français, we have started CFOO (Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 

This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short presentations.
There are fifteen different presentations, separated into three categories: Research, Opinion and Creativity.
Each student chooses one and prepares their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the pages they have in their binder).
Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.
The presentation could take on various forms: a speech, a poster, a puppet play, etc. - the possibilities are endless!

The first CFOO will take place on Tuesday, December 16th. 

I'm looking forward to seeing what students come up with!

Spread a little Kindness!

In English Language Arts, we have been talking about kindness and different ways to be kind. We've discussed how kindness doesn't have to cost money, it could be shown in our actions and words.
Each student put their ideas into a Top Ten Ways to Be Kind list.

New and Improved Frosty

Today students worked at rewriting the words to Frosty the Snowman.
There are some pretty interesting versions being written!

Reminder

No School tomorrow!
