I have been unable to find the movie online for download. If anyone knows of a site that might have it available please let me know. It was a made for TV movie by Disney and was shown on ABC.
The students thoroughly enjoyed working with Christine Lachance this week during an Improv Workshop on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Thanks very much Christine for sharing your expertise with us.

Social Studies--Students are continuing with their unit on Egypt. They will be continuing next week completing and presenting their research on their god or goddesses and then will be working on the characteristics of the culture. They will have a test on all of Egypt early Feb.
French--
We are practicing four dialogues in French: "How are you?", "What is your name?","How old are you?", and "Where do you live?". They should be reviewing the material as, come the first week of February, they will have a quiz every week to get ready for the term test on February 21. Some of the students still did not finish their homework: compose fifteen simple sentences using the verbs on their list; working at home is just as important as participating in class so please help them along.
