Reminder - Parent-Teacher Conferences are THIS week on Thursday, December 11th from 3-5pm. If that time does not work for you, feel free to email me at michael.brundage@rcsdk12.org.

We are beginning our 3rd marking period this week. It is an excellent time to clean out lockers, re-organize folders and check supplies.

Seventh Grade
This week we are focusing on telling time, days of the week and dates. Students are using their numbers vocabulary, plus some new expressions:
Quelle heure est-il?
Il est une heure.
Il est une heure et quart.
Il est une heure et demie.
Il est deux heures moins le quart.
Il est trois heures dix.
Il est quatre heures vingt.
