Happy Freezing Friday!
It is the coldest Friday of the year so far! I hope everyone is having a cozy and warm time with family and loved ones.
This week's been so much fun with year ahead day and Valentine's spirit day along with the 100th day of school!

-We had a fun year ahead day activity (in grade 3): find someone who ("trouve quelqu'un qui") that helped us learn new fun facts about each other, and taught us how to ask a question in French.
-We learned some vocabulary related to Valentine's day and love.
-We made a valentine's card with all the things that we love.
