P.O.O.F!

 Today was our (almost) last Friday, so students had the chance to reflect on the past week by completing one last POOF (Positive Observations on Friday) page.

We shared our observations in class, and now students have been asked to share their page with someone at home.

Happy Friday!

You're Invited!

Dear Parents,

In English Language Arts, students of 6-1 have been busy learning about Shakespeare and practicing our version of his masterpiece play Twelfth Night. 

You are most cordially invited to our performance on Monday, June 24th at 3 p.m. in the Ness Library. 

We'd love to see you there!

Please let Mme McKenzie know if you have any questions.

From the Science Department...

 Students had the chance to build and test flying devices made out of a plastic straw and paper.

They then participated in a tournament to see who had the flying device that could fly the farthest.

   In Français, it's time for our LAST CFOO 

(Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 

This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short speeches.

For their last presentations, students can choose any one of the options that they have not already presented. They will prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the pages they have in their binder).

Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.

The CFOO Presentations will take place on Thursday, June 6th.
