Bonjour Parents,
We
will be preparing students for the Gala d’art oratoire 2017 which is a showcase and a celebration of
student achievement in French public speaking. The Gala is not a competition.
The only “competition” part of the process is the school’s selection process to
determine which presentation at various grade levels will represent the school.
One student per grade level will participate in the Gala.
The
students will select a French poem to memorize and present to the class.
The
school district has prepared a rubric to facilitate the selection of these
students.
One
student from grade 2 will be chosen to represent the school at the Gala d’art
oratoire 2017 to be held on Saturday, May 27 from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. at Bishop
McNally Theatre, 5700 Falconridge Blvd N.E. The students will give their
presentations on the stage before the audience. All of the Gala
participants are presented with certificates at the end of the day.
In
order to begin preparing for this activity, your child is to begin practicing
and memorizing a French poem in order to present to the class on Monday, May 8.
If your child is chosen
to present at the Gala d’art oratoire, a letter will be sent home.
Tomorrow is
crazy hat day to support the children who have to shave their heads due to
cancer. A toonie or more will be greatly
appreciated, which will go towards cancer research.
Tomorrow is
also Pizza Day.
