Bonjour,
I firstly want to say a big thank-you to all students who brought food for the literature circles today. Our first discussion day went very well. Almost everyone was prepared and there were a lot of meaningful comments made about the stories you are reading. Bravo!
I also want to say thank-you to everyone who brought a beverage or snack for our Valentine's Day celebration and I want to apologize again if anyone was uncomfortable with the movie choice. I learned today that I always need to preview movies even if the rating is PG or G and even if 85% of the class votes for a movie, Mme Couture gets a veto privilege : ). Si vous n'avez pas aimé cette expérience, je suis désolée!
Devoirs:
Projects: We will have a gallery walk tomorrow (everyone will have a chance to look at the posters and reports). I am very excited to take a closer look at what appear to be detailed and beautifully presented topics.
Français: Continue reading novels and preparing for next week's literature circles. you will be given at least two blocks of class time to work on this assignment.
Joyeux St. Valentin à tous! Merci beaucoup pour les cartes et bonbons!

I just wanted to say how impressed I was with everyone's participation in our West African dance session today in the fitness studio. Everyone did a great job with the new drum beats and demonstrated enthusiasm (as well as respect towards our presenters). Bravo!
Devoirs:
Projects are due on Monday (remember I'm interested in quality rather than a finished product thrown together Sunday afternoon. I am willing to give an extension to Wed. IF the quality of the project will be superior with a couple of extra days to work on it).
Lit Circles: Please bring your novel AND completed lit circle activity for Monday's discussion. It is imperative to be prepared for this class as participation in the discussion is what makes the Book Club enjoyable and productive.
Valentine's Day card exchange: Don't forget your your "secret Valentine's" card so that we can share them. If you volunteered to bring a snack item for our Valentine's Day celebration try to remember : )
Passe une très bonne fin de semaine!
