We are finishing up our current unit "Les Animaux En Danger." In this theme,
students have learned about endangered animals of the world. By discovering
that these animals live in various parts of the world and that measures are
being taken to protect them on different continents, students have seen that
such concerns are relevant to many different peoples of many different cultures.
Projects on solutions for protecting endangered animals are underway. Groups
have chosen to do power points, posters, glogster presentations, brochures,
raps, and skits to showcase their knowledge.

The 5th graders are wrapping up the interactive Echos 3 unit--"Mes
Aventures en Plein Air." This text features two students on an outdoor
education excursion that experience the positives and negatives of nature.
5th graders have expressed preferences about outdoor activities, looked at
environmental issues, and have taken part in a dramatic reading.

--- 2013 French trip ---
We will be joining forces with Jackson Elementary for the 2013 French trip.
Instead of the original Paris/Madrid itinerary, we will now be offering a
Paris, Normandy, Brittany, Loire trip. Please let me know if you would like
more program information. The prices are similar to the previous itinerary
and valid through June 30th. A price increase will most likely happen July 1.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Registration can be done online
at www.acis.com (Group # 5245, HAGE, Fleur de Lys). If you would like a hard
copy of either the program itinerary or the registration packet, let me know
and I'll send one home with your 4th grader.

Miam! Miam! *------
The 4th graders sampled sirop and petit beurre cookies last month. Thank
you to Vanessa Bush and Naoko Tsunoda for providing these cultural treats.
On May 10th, the 5th graders will have sorbet. Merci beaucoup to Cindy
Robbins, Vernon Crump, Rita Golden, Michelle Lerner, Barbara Jackson, and Dawn
Anderson for providing this popular French summertime treat.
Please let me know if your student has any food allergies, so we can make
accommodations if necessary.
*That’s French for “yum yum.”
If you need to meet with me, I can usually be reached before school or
after school in my classroom. Email is the best way to reach me to ask a
quick question or set up an appointment.
