Social Studies Project

Today, your child will bring home a project outline for our final task in Social Studies.  

Each child has been assigned a country (the country name is stapled into your child's agenda) and must research 3 celebrations & traditions in that country.  This project will be done mostly at home, although students are free to use library time to sign out books on their country, or search the Internet during our computer period.  The bulk of the research will be done with family members helping on the Internet.

Please ensure that your child writes his/her own descriptions, even though you may help to explain them.  This will be a collaborative project between you and your child but the final poster should be done exclusively by your child.

I am attaching below a sample picture of a level 3 (B) poster.  There's plenty of time to ask questions; I am happy to help along the way!  The project is due on June 1st and students will present their project sometime during that week.

Homework and spelling for Thursday May 14.

This week the students are being asked to memorize the verbs avoir and être in the imperfect tense. We are writing stories and this tense of the verb is very important to their success.

Être
J'étais
tu étais
il était
elle était
on était
nous étions
vous étiez
ils étaient
elles étaient

Avoir
J'avais
tu avais
il avait
elle avait
on avait
nous avions
vous aviez
ils avaient
elles avaient

Homework is to write at least 10 sentences using different forms of avoir and être in the imperfect.

A reminder about homework and book bags.

Please try to have your child return homework and book bags each Thursday. If work is handed in on Fridays it does not give me enough time to mark or to read individually with your child.
Thanks and have a happy weekend.
