The Third Day of Middle School

Hello! Happy Tuesday!

Our third morning of middle school was a good one!

We started the day with another fun school-themed story.

We then reviewed "les quatre valeurs d'un chevalier" (Respect, Intégrité, Responsabilité et Excellence) and began reflecting on how we can represent the values every day at school. This task lead to our first "thinking homework" task  of the year: How can Mme demonstrate the 4 values in our classroom each day, and how can we exemplify "RIRE" to ourselves and each other? We will continue our discussion on class tomorrow.

We finished our morning with a small group tangram activity. Working in randomized groups of two or three, we worked together to solve different tangram puzzles. We all had different levels of success... (Congratulations to Gwen, Cooper and Hailey, the only team to successfully solve the square puzzle!) ... but we all worked well with our teams - even attempting to speak to each other in French some of the time!

Looking forward to another great day tomorrow! :)
