Crepe day!

Finally it arrived! Crepe day was today! Thanks to everyone who brought in supplies to help make today a great success! Hope you enjoyed your crepes!

 Yummy!

Don't forget Quiz lesson 9 tomorrow!

Thanks!

A big thanks to everyone for being patient with M. Gallup and he did his practice student teaching with us on Tuesday and Wednesday! Thanks for being polite and following his directions.

Friday 10/15 is the last day of the 1st quarter, please remember that ALL make-up work must be in by Thursday 10/14. If you need some extra help I will be in the Media center on Tuesday and Thursday.

Because of our crazy schedule this week, between subs and M. Gallup, we will turn in Unit 3 wkbk on Thursday and have our Unit 3 exam on Friday. That will push our crepe day to next Tuesday 10/19 :). Thanks for being so flexible! :) Next week we will go back to our usual class routine!

Finally some French!

Finally we are done with rules, class procedures and PV Learners. Now we can start to learn some French! Today we went over the alphabet and we wil be adding in numbers 1-10 tomorrow. By next Friday, you will be able to recite the alphabet, count to twenty, say where you are from and what nationality you are, as well as introduce other people in the class. All that after just 2 weeks of French! Bon Travaille! And speaking of the alphabet.... hmmmm there could be a petit quiz in your future :), so if I were you I'd make sure you could recite the alphabet without looking at the textbook, I'm just sayin'(wink wink).

And just for you Freshmen and Sophomores out there, don't forget about your dance coming up next Friday, August 27 from 7-10 pm. Don't miss out! It's always a fun time!

And here's a cool picture, because blog posts always go better with pictures!
