Some new things in 2O...

Late last week we started over with our Quoi de neuf? This time, I have been typing what students are saying, including the questions and answers. I have been taking pictures of the students with their item, and have started a little book.
There are some new send home bags this week. They are little books in French that have a CD. Students are encouraged to listen to the story as they read along. I have told them tat if they don't know every word, that it's okay, and to look and listen for the words that they do know.
We also have a new duotang that we can work on if we are finished our work early or are the first ones in from recess and are waiting for everyone to be ready. Each day, there is a new question that has as many answers as we can think of. For example, the first question was 'You are leaving home. Your mom calls out to you "Don't forget them!" What is 'them'?'. The questions are in French, students can write or draw the answers they think of.
I would encourage students to keep reading for our Scolastic challenge. If we read 100 books, 100 books are donated to students in need.
