We started by talking about what the year was going to be like. After that, we had opening exercises which most people were familiar with. This year, we were introduced introduced to a new French teacher named Mile. Strybocsh. She is quite friendly and nice as I can say for Mrs. Collins also. As I have learned from the last few French periods, I have noticed that she seldom gets angry. Mr. St. John, my grade four teacher, now teaches us gym Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Friday. During the week we did Reading, Math, Spelling, 'French, Environmental Studies and Creative Writing. Writing. All and all, the week was very successful.
