Weekend homework

I hope everyone had a good week despite all the rain! 

We did a lot of writing this week. I am working on report cards, so we did our sample writing. This took a lot of works and students put a lot of effort into their work. 

We also started a writing project today about our snowmen. We read the book 'l'année magique des bonshommes' which is part of our homework this weekend. 

In the book, there is a magic snowman that stays with the kid all year. The author talks about what he does with his snowman every season. For homework, students need to write 5 sentences for each season explaining what they would do with their snowman. The verbs in the sentences should be, for example, 'je vais manger' instead of je mangerais since we haven't studied the future tense of verbs yet. 

We wrote one page together about our snow man's interests and likes. Students can refer back to this to inspire what they would do with their snow man each season. 

I am asking that students do the writing at home so that next week, starting Tuesday, we can work on peer editing next week. The writing is due on Tuesday, so if students do one page a day starting tomorrow, it shouldn't be too much! 

Our classroom was taken over by snow people and snowflakes today!!
