Mme. LaChance’s grade two and three French

classroom because the tradition is to put a fish on the back of a person
without being caught. Students are also
writing about a trick parents are doing to their son. They mailed a box with
something inside it – but what? A spider? A dog? A boat? A clown fish? Or
nothing? Students are also reading stories about fish, fishing and aquariums.
They made their own fish tank with nice fish inside.
