Here are a few reminders about current and upcoming projects at school:
1. Dream Catchers
We are going to attempt to make dream catchers next week using curved branches and string. Students are welcome to bring beads, feathers, and their own variety of string (if desired, otherwise they will be using plain white cotton yarn) to add to their dream catchers.
2. Math
Grade 3 students are writing math tests on multiplication and division. Grade 4 students will not write their test until next week. Our last unit will be on 2D and 3D shapes.
3. Spelling
English spelling work is due next Monday. French spelling for the rest of the year will focus on some basic spelling and grammar concepts, so we will not have "dictee" every two weeks. Students will, however, be working on French grammar and spelling at school on alternate weeks.
4. Creation Stories and Why/How Stories
Students have been working on two stories, one in French and one in English, for the past few weeks. Their rough copies, edited and revised, are mostly finished, and we will be working on good copies for the next two days. Good copies of both stories will be due on Monday morning, because students will need to choose one of their stories for "publication" (we will create and I will laminate mini-books). A few very ambitious students have elected to create "published" copies of both of their stories.
