QUIA

Salut, tout le monde!  It was great to see parents at Thursday night's PTSA Open House.  Thanks for coming out!  Félicitations go out to François F. who discovered that Fiona is the name of the fire ant (la fourmi sérieuse) on Tex's French Grammar site.  Bravo!

Don't forget to stay home lundi le premier septembre -- it's Labor Day!  I hope that you enjoy your three day weekend!  When we return to school on mardi le 2 septembre, we will have Fall Sports Spirit Week. Here are the days:
mardi - Team Sports Day; mercredi - Dress for Success with white shirts and dazzling ties; jeudi - Throw Back Thursday; vendredi - PHS spirit wear and Pep Rally (Seniors - black shirts, Juniors - navy blue shirts, Sophomores - maroon shirts, and Freshmen - white shirts).

This week we closed out the Pop Culture Icon project.  You taught me a lot about current pop culture! Also, we continued to review all French 1 topics. We went to the lab to try out your new QUIA login for the semester.  Your username is your 1st and last name (lowercase, no spaces) with 765 at the end.  Your password is a randomly assigned word and number.  Please memorize this login because you will be using it a lot!  You can even try the games, activities and quizzes from the comfort of your own home!  Just click here to access the site -- www.quia.com.  After logging in, you will click on "Class Web Page" to get to the games, activities, and quizzes.  Try seven games/activities and take the quiz on weather.  You can refer to the assignment sheet given out in class.  If you click on my name, you will get my Profile Page which will let you connect to different websites that will provide even more valuable practice.

We returned a verb quiz this week.  If your score was lower than desired, remember that I am offering a special tutoring opportunity on mardi le 2 septembre (Tuesday, September 2nd) after school.  Please try to attend to better prepare yourself for Thursday's review exam!  Merci!  Ciao!
