This Week at School...by Ms. D

The week has flown by, yet again!  I think we're all getting used to having four-day school weeks at this point. I was away at a French Professional Development yesterday, so I was only here for 3 days!  The students worked hard this week and completed their first spelling test.  I hope they all had time to study over the last week and a half.
In French, the students are gaining new vocabulary everyday.  They are able to do the calendar in French, and ask and respond to many questions.  Ask your student, "Comment ca va?" today to see how they are.  They may also be willing to share a song with you..."Bonjour mes amis"   The students are using French only to ask to go to the bathroom, or get a drink of water.  They're doing great and we've been having fun!
In science, we completed a design project.  They were asked to design a device to help them hear sound better using only 3 materials.  We had some interesting gadgets!  Most of the students designed objects that not only projected our voice at a higher volume, but also allowed us to hear better if we held it by our ear.  Way to go scientists!  Our next big project is coming home on Monday.  The students are eagerly waiting to begin this...they get to design and build a musical instrument.  I can't wait to see all the imaginative designs that they create. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend.  Students, see you Monday!
