Compliments for Valentines!

A few weeks ago, each student was asked to write down a compliment about every student in the class. I compiled all of those compliments together to make a super Valentine.

How fun to read all the anonymous compliments!

Happy Valentine's Day!

6F1 celebrated Valentine's Day today with...

**Valentine math

**Writing mini French stories with French conversation hearts

**Team Challenge: trying to figure out the meaning of French expressions that use the word 'coeur' (heart)

Best Book Ever Update!

The Best Book Ever!

Students nominated their favourite books and the eight most popular choices became our finalists in The Best Book Ever competition!

Throughout the month, we'll be debating about these books to determine the ultimate winner of the Best Book Ever crown. 


Today, after two heated debates, two books have moved forward in our standings:

with a vote of 14 - 9, Diary of a Wimpy Kid moves on!

with a vote of 16 - 7, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone  moves on!

French Poetry!

In Francais, we have been working on reading poems and critically thinking about them by giving our opinions and making connections. 

Each student has now chosen a short French poem to memorize. 

As a class, we decided that the poem should be evaluated on Memorization (knowing all the words, speaking fluidly without long pauses) and Presentation (speed, expression, eye contact).

Poem presentations will be Wednesday, February 7th.
