Also, you may want to print some photos of items that are representative of your person e.g. a map of France and picture of a sword for Joan of Arc. Leave a comment about your biography project.

Stay tuned...Check the website after 6:00pm. Read and discuss your report card with your parents. Have them sign the cover, and return it in the envelope tomorrow. Your parents keep the inside papers. The Book Commercials are turning out to be really informative. It is so exciting to see you sharing the novels you are enjoying! |
(a.k.a. Mrs. Van)
I am a grade 6 teacher who has been teaching in the Surrey School District for 30+ years. I love to play golf and tennis, kayak, ski, walk, read, garden, knit and sew.
I believe in the value of life-long learning, and that learning should have purpose and be enjoyable.
