February 8th

8-8 We had a very interesting lesson on the Passé Composé with être verbs (DR. and MRS. VANDERTRAMP)
We also had a quiz. Some of you need to review more.

In Geography we did some review and had a good discussion about stereotypes.

In English class today, everyone worked on their letters to the editor so that they may convince the rest of us of their point of view.

I know a group of people supporting the Watoto project in Africa in March. They are building a school and a library. If you have any school supplies to spare or gently used books, please give them to me so I can send them with them.

"Watoto provides holistic care for over 1700 vulnerable children orphaned by war and AIDS in Uganda, by creating safe and enriching environments for them to flourish in. Watoto's mission is to provide care and education for these boys and girls so they can be empowered to make a positive and lasting impact on the development of their country.

Watoto villages are small communities where the children are brought up in family environments – in homes consisting of eight children and a housemother. Watoto children are educated at schools and are treated in medical centres in the villages. The facilities are built throughout the year by volunteers from all over the world."
