Grade 6- The students took turns to read a short play about 2 veterinarians in search of part-time workers to help around their clinic. The students read quite well and their level of comprehension was very good. The play is over and, on Thursday, they will finish the question segments.
Grade 7 There are a few interruptions due to the on-going rehearsals. The novel is the work to be completed, in class, this week, if possible before the break. The class is also trying to work with MyBlueprint.ca. This is a program to help the students make their academic course choices as well as guiding them in choosing a career path.
PLEASE TRY IT AT HOME! THE LINKS ARE FAIRLY SIMPLE AND THE DATA STAYS ON THE SERVER AND IS USEFUL IN THE PLANNING OF MYP.

Grade 6 The students are reading and answering questions for the novel Au Travail. Their diction has improved so much since the beginning of the year.
Grade 7 Although several students had to leave French early to complete the decors for the Christmas concert, they read the novel Fama va en Californie. this novel is so relevant to what is happening to the refugees and how one feels about moving to another country.
Grade 8 Several students were involved with the production of the concert. Some of the students started on the new review unit: La tomate carrée and they brainstormed about GMO products. The list ended up being quite extensive.
Grade 9/10 were at Tech today.
