Debates!

Happy Friday!

After many great suggestions, we've narrowed down our fun debate topics to:

" Frites ou quartiers de pomme de terre?" (Fries or potato wedges?)

"Quel console de jeu est mieux: Play Station ou Switch?" (What gaming station is better: Play Station or Switch?)

We each chose which topic we'd like to debate and then picked our side. We had a block of time to meet and collaborate with our debate-mates and will have another short block of time next week before we debate!

Please ask me what topic I chose to debate and what side I am arguing for. What is my strongest argument? What argument do I think my opposition will make?

AGENDA

1. CFOO #2 - Créativité. Presentations are Monday, December 19.



2. Read, read, read! Please set aside a minimum of 10 minutes each evening to read in French. Je Lis (our home reading site) is now set up and ready to use. https://jeunesse.short-edition.com/ is another great site if looking for a bit of variety.

3. BrainWork: Keep thinking about your debate topic! What other arguments can you add?

4. A message from the school (Mme Troop): With the holiday spirit in the air, I wanted to find a way for our students to give back to the community (and promote physical activity:) ). I will be organizing 3 dodgeball games (12:10-12:45) leading up to the break. Entry into the game will be 1 non-perishable food item in a tin can. The Grade 6 game will be Wednesday, December 21.

5. SPIRIT WEEK! NEXT WEEK! See THIS POST for all the info! 
(Monday is Pyjama Day!)
