General: Thank you to parents who came to the parent-teacher interviews. If you were unable to attend, you can contact me anytime via email.

This week: Novel study: "La valise d'Hana" by Karen Levine. We are reading this novel in class and discussing. Each student received a duo-tang with the questions for the entire book that is kept in the classroom. There are a few questions to answer each class, and I indicate each day which questions are mandatory.

Challenge: How to get an A? I've told the students that if they want to get an A for this unit, they can complete all questions in their duo-tangs. The books must stay in the classroom, but the book is available at the Ottawa public library or they can purchase a copy. The questions have been uploaded to their Google French folder.

Here is a link to the book for purchase. A pdf copy costs $10.99.
