Welcome to November! Hope you all had a lovely Halloween weekend 🙂
Busy day in the chalet- we are doing Au Champ d’Honneur for Dictée this week and we started our integers unit in math!
We read another chapter in The Barren Grounds after recess and then November rent was collected. We finished the day working on FSAs. Some students have finished, most are at least halfway through, we will get them done this week for sure.
Many students also went out and surveyed the primary students with their prototypes today, surveying will continue all week.
You should have received an email from Mrs Sollows about the Neufeld Farms Fundraiser- the moneys raised go directly to grade 7 events such as Camp and Farewell!
Les Devoirs:
- demain: Volleyball practice, YE Surveys

What a festive day! Nice to see so many costumes in the chalet 🙂
We started by observing the primary costume parade, saying hello to our little buddies. Then we had 3 grade 12 WGSS students from the Finance Club do a presentation, one being a former student on mine. We then voted on our Eurovision Canada candidate- TALK. After recess we continued on the FSAs. After lunch was dedicated to our Projet de Galaxie, which most are done, and ended the day at Band.
Young Entrepreneurs: we are conducting our market research surveys next week! French Fries will survey the primary side at recess on Monday and Wednesday, and the intermediate side on Tuesday and Thursday. Please bring your survey and prototype ready to go!
Hope you all have a safe and festive Halloween Weekend! Don’t forget that the clocks DO NOT fall back…
Joyeuse Halloween!

Well the weather was sure temperamental today!
We began with some volleyball in the gym, then worked more on the FSAs. After recess we wrote the Math test and spent time creating our product surveys for Young Entrepreneurs. After lunch the Soo-permarché was open for the first time and students continued working in their Projet des Galaxies which are due Friday.
The volleyball after school is just a JKE-based friendly, permission form not required. Official games begin next week, TBA.
Just a reminder that costumes should be non-scary, no masks and no weapons. You are welcome to bring yumyums to distribute but we will not be having a class party.

Well today was so much fun!!!
Huge kudos to the entire class for being the best sports today. We did our retakes, we hustled up there, and Mr Janzen was very impressed that we all knew how to log on. Students completed a mini research assignment on an ancient civilization, trying to argue why it should be brought back from the dead. They then recorded a podcast episode with another civilization. They also made an advertisement for their civilization in canva. Both the podcast and the ad will be shared with me!
We will begin our adventures with the FSAs tomorrow morning.
Les Devoirs:
- demain: Galaxy Booklet due (big question on back!)

Another busy Wednesday! But the weather has been so nice this week, so I won’t complain.
In PE this morning we started our Volleyball unit. I had so much fun walking around and peppering with different students.
Afterwards, we continued working on our Galaxy booklets, which are now due on Tuesday. Remember that the final question should be answered in a formal paragraph. Show me what you know and understand, use details and be specific!
After recess, students recorded themselves saying the Dictée des Galaxies. They also logged on to Teams for the first time to share the link, and then added their Quiz: ER au Présent to Spaces.
After lunch (that was a fun game…?) students completed their final Minutes Vites multiplication tables, and then took some time to review their progress and do some self-reflection. These are now ready for Term 1 SICs 🙂
Vision Board Info For Tomorrow: (from Mme Dykens)
- be prepared to make a collage on a standard size sheet of paper
- you should be collecting images/words/phrases from newspapers, magazines, flyers etc, or print out
- for example: things you like, inspire you, goals, things you hope to attain/achieve, maybe things related to your personality tests completed in class
- this is unique to you, should represent you and not just societal trends
- cut and paste will happen at school
Reminder- on Monday we are spending the ENTIRE day in the WGSS library. Students MUST bring a lunch and water bottle with them. We will quickly do retakes and then depart. We will be back for the end of day. I am still waiting on 4 permissions, please give to Mme Dykens tomorrow or be ready to hand me Monday morning!
Les Devoirs:
- demain: Vision Board materials, Spooktacular
- vendredi- Jour de Congé

Happy Monday! Another short week in the chalet, lots to do!
This week’s Dictée is a bit different. Students have 2 pieces of text to chose from, they will practice saying it out loud, working on prononciation and fluidity, and on Wednesday they will record themselves and send me the link so I can listen and evaluate.
In Math we are wrapping up our Multiplication Fluency practice as well as Divisibility Rules.
We were introduced to our English Novel Study/Read Aloud this term- The Barren Grounds. It has a nice tie in to stars as well as an Indigenous perspective.
Our examination of the universe continues in Science. Lots of great questions and conversations happening.
Please return your WGSS permissions forms ASAP- we are going on Monday!
I acknowledge that Photo Retakes are also on Monday, my hope is that we can get in ASAP, or even before the bell, so we’re not too late to WGSS.

**edit** PLEASE BRING YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS STUFF ON MONDAY!
Another stunner of a day! And we were busy busy in the Chalet!
We started off with Examen de Dictée 2, we did a verb conjugation challenge, then presented their response for On Partage to the prompt: Would you prefer to wear, for an entire day, a costume that was either way too itchy or impossible to sit down in?
After recess we actually did some Math, students wandered around the room completing task cards, there was lots of rich discussion happening, it was really great to see.
After hot lunch (yum) we watched the following video, as we continue to create a solid understanding of galaxies:
Students should be bringing home a WGSS Walking Permission Form for you to read and sign. We will walk to WGSS several times this year for various reasons, and this permission form covers all of those. I will of course give you plenty of notice for each excursion. Our first one is on Monday October 26. We are so fortunate to spend the entire day in the WGSS library, using their technology with their Teacher Librarian. Please see the form for more details.
Les Devoirs:
- WGSS Permission
- lundi- Quiz: Les Verbes ER au présent (BLOOKET ICI)
- jeudi- bring matierals for Vision Board
- vendredi- Jour de Congé
Bonne fin de semaine!

What a lovely day it turned into!
We began our day in the gym, and with the volleyball nets slightly altered, we played some modified pickleball games! Students then worked through today’s Dictée. After recess we had a work period to catch up on a few things. All French 7s met this afternoon for Young Entrepreneurs, we set some goals, looked through the first few pages of the booklet, and had our first prototype shakeout (bravo Arjun!). Students are strongly encouraged to bring in their prototypes for formal and informal share outs, they are very valuable feedback opportunities!
Les Devoirs:
- demain: Problem of the Week #3 due
- vendredi- Examen de Dictée 2, Dîner Chaud (Subway), Orchestre
- lundi- Quiz: Verbes ER au présent
À vendredi!
