So much happening at once!

Today we had the pleasure of two visits!  One of last year's teacher popped in to say hello.  I know the students appreciated seeing her and her new daughter.  Later in the same period our new "moniteur de français" came by!  Marc-André is from Québec and will be with us for quite some time.  He will be working alongside ECJC French Immersion students to support their French learning.  We had some questions for him right off the bat and I'm sure we'll learn more about him in the upcoming months. :)

Today we introduced the project to find two "big numbers" around us.  Students came home with a little form to help them gather the information they need to complete the project when they return with their numbers Thursday.  Feel free to talk about where we can find numbers in the thousands and tens of thousands.  These numbers can be talked about on the radio, spotted on advertisements (cars and other larger purchases), they can even interview someone who owns a business to gather figures (with the permission of that person, of course!!)  They are encouraged to be creative and to remember to indicate where they found them and what those numbers are associated with.  The idea is to attach meaning to a big number :)

Tomorrow is LIBRARY day!  It is a great opportunity to exchange any books and take out new ones.

Tomorrow is also a big presentation day.  With all the business of these visits, we didn't get a chance to present today.  So we've got lots of people presenting tomorrow!  Our class bulletin board is looking awesome!

THANKS to all of you who sent in empty 2L pop bottles.  If you still have some kicking around, we could use a few more to build our "pluviomètres" (rain gages)!
