L.A.

-Punctuation, spelling and capitals will be our focus through the use of our agendas (accuracy in copying messages that model good writing form) and we will also pursue this worthy self-editing goal soon in our personal dictionary/spellers.

-P.A.R.I.S.

-Novel Study: Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.  We will review chapters 1-5 before continuing with chapters 6-8.  We will read out loud in P.A.R.I.S., find a mistake made by the author/publisher/printer and summarize chapter 8 by creating succinct titles for it.

F.L.A.

-Song: Au Carnaval + vocabulary (Bonhomme, bougies, Carnaval, défilé, dix, duché, duchesse, festival, fête, février, palais, reine, sculpture): perform at Tuesday’s French Week assembly.

-French is taught using the four modes/skills of learning.  This means that all students have the opportunity to learn through listening, speaking, reading and writing.
