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.

-H.A.H.A.S.O. (acronym for strategies that deal with bullying and disputes: Help, Avoid, Humour, Assert, Self-Talk and Own It) Students will have the opportunity to listen to 3 stories about bullying and how the characters successfully dealt with their disputes using 3 of the H.A.H.A.S.O. strategies.  Students will then be divided into 6 groups of 3, one group for each of the strategies.  They will be given time to brainstorm ideas about developing their own unique story about bullying or a dispute that must be resolved through the use of their group’s H.A.H.A.S.O. strategy.  Students are encouraged to make an oral and written plan in order to prepare and develop their stories.  These stories will be written in their journals.  Time permitting, next week students will practice and perform their compositions as skits.

-Journal Entry: There is no journal entry this week in order to promote the completion of our H.A.H.A.S.O. compositions.

F.L.A.

-Students will be using the classroom’s French-English dictionaries to translate their One Mother poems into French.
