French : 

We are writing biographies this week and next week.  Students have chosen a Canadian Winter Olympic athelete, past or present.  We are studying ER verbs; past tense, present tense, and future tense. 

English : 

We will be doing guided reading in English to work on reading strategies.  Students will be working on researching and informational writing as well.

Integrated Curriculum :

We are beginning HERITAGE FAIR!  This is a family project.  Students will need support from home in identifying a topic that is relevant to your family.  This could be your culture, an important person in your family, a historic event, a special recipe or piece of clothing, a sport or music or art that is connected to your family, or anything else.  What you and your child choose to present is up to you, however, I suggest that you have easily attainable information, artifacts, pictures, or maps to help with your research.  You can help your student with their research at home.   I will be helping them at school with developing their topic, translating their research  to French,  preparing their TRIFOLD, preparing their oral presentation.  Students will have 1-2 hours a day for almost five weeks to work on this project at school.
