Vocab for the week

Vocab
We have added a few words of vocabulary for this Friday, they are: 
la journée, après, après-midi, aujourd'hui, hier.
On Friday we will have a dictée with these words.

Math
We are now at 3 x 0 to 3 x 12

"The more I work the better luck I have!"

Tomorrow is a new start. With a new start we can all choose new goals. I hope you get to join teams, work on great projects, maybe do Math Caribou. You don't even have to try to be cool, you already are.
I have a question: will the kids at Gledhill start collecting pencil leads for barter? That was unique of Howard.
Good luck, enjoy the work and make yourself proud. I am, proud of you that is!!

Only 1 week

Yikes, one week left before school starts! 
I have a new litterless lunch kit since I left last year's one on the street car one day.
I still have to select my clothes for the first day. Shorts and t-shirt of course but which one?

By Aidan

Aidan is drawing more marvellous pictures. James is doing so well at baseball. Bella and Noah will be back soon.
Claire, Liam's sister, will be starting the violin. Uma had a farewell party before the big move to the country. Owen and Calum were jumping off a boat and were having a blast. Sam also visited Calum at his cottage. Veronica went to a survival camp and is now doing a lifeguard camp. That is what I know. What about the rest of you guys?

Way to go!

Great news, our very own James has hit his first home run and it felt great. Too bad it was against Liam's team and James' team won the game. Oh well, we know Liam has his hockey!!

Thank you

I was so happy to meet some of you yesterday at the Sorauren Market. There was music, organic produce, kids all over and families saying Hi. I think of all of you often.
I must admit, it is scary to start all over again in a new school. 
There are 2 ways to keep in touch if you wish.

Monday Aug. 19

In the water kitty,
kitty, kitty!

Tomorrow Monday August 19, 2013, I will be at the Sorauren Market from 3 ish to 5 ish so you can come from day camp, swimming lessons, arts and craft, piano, and all your activities. So come if and when you can, I will be happy.

If you enlarge this picture
you will see that the escargots
 have climbed way up the plant.
Did you know they could do that?
Not me.

I will be at the Sorauren market this Monday, August 19. I should be there around 3 pm ish, when the market starts. You know that Rubie, who spent a year in France, wanted to see me so I will be there. But if any of you, all of you, want to say Hi and have a chat, I am there for you and I MISS you even as I set up the new classroom at Gledhill salle 17. 
I remember football practices at Sorauren after school and the Market was on. It looked so great, I'm looking forward to it and if I am lucky, seeing you again.
