CFOO!

In Français, it's time for another CFOO (Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 

This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short speeches.

For this presentation, students must choose one of the five Creativity options: a magic trick, a commercial, an art masterpiece, telling jokes / riddles or showing off creative uses for an everyday object. They will then prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the page they have in their binder).

Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.

The CFOO Presentations will take place on Monday, December 9th.

The Caldecott Medal!

The Caldecott Medal is awarded every year by the Association for Library Service to Children to the artist of the most distinguished picture book for children.

Here in Room 209 we're reading and evaluating a pile of picture books to make our predictions on who should win! 

 We'll find out if our predictions are correct when the Caldecott Medal is awarded in January!
