Artisits in The School--this program will be going on all this week from Feb. 6--10. The Gr. 5--8 will be creating a mural on the hallway wall at the school. Allison Moore (artist in residence) recommends having the children send a smock or definitely clothes ok to possibly get paint on. The grades 5-8 will be using paint that is not water based, so should definitely wear a smock.

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.

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.
