Il pleut des cordes! What a soggy day… inside lunch recess and collab, super fun.

Another busy day working on some passé composé, measurement in math, work continues on our novel one-pagers and the 7s met this afternoon to continue our examination of Ancient Mesopotamia.

Students brought home the Science World information letter today, please take a look, payment and permission form available on SchoolCashOnline (you should have already received an email). We are looking for parent volunteers to join us and follow around a small group of students for the day. If you are interested, please fill out the Volunteer form attached to the letter and return at your earliest convenience. There is no fee for our wonderful parents. Thank you in advance!

Grade 7s- meeting tomorrow for students interested in running JR4H stations, also start thinking about possible Farewell themes, we will be having a meeting on Friday to pitch your ideas to the whole group and then we will vote.

Hope you had a nice weekend! I heard about some sports and dance events, Coachella watching and food truck festival eating this morning 🙂

In French, we began our study of le passé composé (the past tense). I have noticed that verb conjugation is an area of growth, and is something that is important in grade 8 so we will work on this term.

This afternoon, we officially began our Novel Analysis One-Pagers, I posted the outline on Friday. Students will have 2 full weeks of in class time to work on their one-pagers, and I am expecting very good demonstrations of understanding, thinking and connection related to the novel as a result.

Our class is up to $150 in Jump Rope for Heart donations, well done!

Things to note this week:

  • jeudi- Treat Day- “Smencils”
  • vendredi- Class/Group/Gr 7 photo

À demain!

Another busy day in the Chalet!

Did some timed laps in PE, a bit of French grammar work, the 6s wrote their quiz, the 7s got theirs back, some have the option to redo on Monday. After lunch, Mr Bonnar visited with us discussing some concerning discriminatory language that has been reported to them, being used by some students in our class, and other grade 6/7 classes. He reminded us of the script Code of Conduct and kind, safe and respectful behaviour expectations. And then we finished Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus! Exhale. Students were also shown how to log into the Sora app, so they can access to the text, and I quickly outlined the novel analysis one-pager that we will officially begin on Monday.

Bonne fin de semaine, à lundi!

Happy Sunny Wednesday! Sorry for not posting yesterday, a bit too much going on after school.

Today was very productive! We are SO close to finishing our novel, Friday is the day! Then we switched for Math, 7s wrote a quiz, 6s will write theirs on Friday. After recess we had our second Peace Circle with Ms Harnoor where we talked about the seen and unseen related to conflict, she and I were both very impressed with everything the class came up with, and again, great participation this week. After lunch, our little buddies came to play their math game with us and we finished the day having a Jazz Band from Ontario play for us.

Grade 7s- an email should have come through asking for baby photos for end of year things

Jump Rope 4 Heart is on! We will be jumping on April 23 and 24. Please click on the Fundraising Link to get started. As always, the class that raises the most wins an ice cream party. Div 3 has already raised $100, bravo!

What a fun energy today :-), lots of fish on backs and general good natured humour.

After recess we had our first Peace Circle with Ms Harnoor. I really appreciate that everyone came willingly to the discussion and participated at their comfort level. I think some good things are going to come from these.

Just a reminder that Friday and Monday are holidays.

Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful break, there were lots of fun things that got shared out this morning 🙂 We made a 1-word about your spring break collage.

The next 2 weeks are short ones due to the Easter Holiday. Friday and Monday are days off, kind of a nice way to ease into term 3.

À demain!

Exhale… I have returned. It has been a whirlwind week for me, not a lot of positive unfortunately. Thank you all for your patience as I dealt with illness and some family matters the last few days.

Today was… busy. But very fruitful. After recess, we learned about how supersavers were invented, and then build our own simple hydyraulic machines. On Friday we will spend a bit more time with them. It was fun to finally use the Makerspace cart that the district put together for all elementary schools feeding into WGSS.

After lunch, we went to the gym to watch the grade 5/6 finalists present their speeches for Concours. The top two grade 5s were awarded a prize, and the top four grade 6s were selected to continue to the district level on April 9. As well, the 2 grade 7s from our class were named to continue on. Un énorme bravo à Darcy, Arjun, Teodora et Annika! Bonne chance le 9 avril!

Friday is Matching Day and Hot Lunch. The Soo-permarché will also be open.

Bonne journée demain, à vendredi!

It has been wonderful meeting with all of you for SICs, the students are doing an incredible job sharing all about their learning and growth and should be proud of themselves! we’ve also had some good conversations about being our best selves and how we can achieve that. Looking forward to meeting with the rest of you this week. Let’s have a great final week before Spring Break!
