Book Week at Lord
Aylmer
Elementary School. On May 25 grade 5 French immersion
students at Lord Aylmer held a book fair.
Divided into teams, they made comic books and puppet plays
illustrating the plot of a story selected by each team, and
used them to tell the plot to younger students. The fair
marked the completion of a project organized by French
immersion teacher Carolann Bréau-Brassard,
who had challenged her students to read 1000 novels during
the year. Selected stories included A Dragon in the Way,
The Poor Little Wolf Cub, and The Mysterious
Librarian.
