For some strange reason our blog experienced some technical difficulties, but alas it is working once again. Sorry for the week of no entries, hopefully this will not happen again.
Reminders:
- Mrs. Peter's would like each student to have page dividers in their French binder. This did not make it onto the schools supply list, apologies for that. If you could bring these with you to your next class that would be greatly appreciated.
We are currently rapping up our first Unit, MYU (Me, You, & Us). This week we started our final projects on Who we are as learners, What we have to offer the community, and Goals we have for the year ahead. Instructions for this project have been handed out but in case your interested I have included them below. Presentations start Friday and continue into early next week. Remember this project is all about you and choosing to showcase the information in a way that reflects your interests. Have fun :)

Test

What do you have to offer?
Looking back over your
learning profile, what do you think you have to offer to the classroom
community? Does your humor help to keep
people’s spirits up? Are you good at
keeping yourself and others on track?
Are you a good person to ask to spell a word or help with a math
problem?
Jot down some things
that you have to offer to the classroom community:
Goal Setting – keeping in
mind that you won’t work towards a goal unless you care about it. Make a goal
for this year that matters to you.
Goal:
What’s your plan to
meet this goal?

How are you going to present?
*Look
back over all your results and characteristics you wrote down. What stands out to you about who you are as a
learner? What do you think is important
to include in your presentation about you and how you learn?
Now
that you know a bit more about yourself as a learner, what you have to offer,
and a goal to work towards, how do you want to present this information?
