Happy Monday! Wasn’t that just the loveliest weekend? Spent most of it outside with my family.

Today was a typical busy and productive Monday- students wrote the passé composé quiz, we switched for Math (congrats to all grade 7s who competed in the Pi contest! Congrats to Annika!) We did a gallery walk for our one-pagers, they look amazing! After lunch we switched off for Band/Sciences Humaines, then finished the day getting familiar with the nervous system in preparation for our field trip next Monday.

Speaking of, if you haven’t yet made the payment/permission form on SchoolCashOnline, please do so as soon as possible. If your child is not attending, would you mind sending me an email? We would love a couple more volunteers as well if you are willing/able.

I am viewing this week as the “calm before the storm”, once May really begins, it gets pretty crazy!

À demain!

TGIF! What a beautiful and busy day we had! We ran 2 timed laps in PE, so many students are making solid improvements on their times which is amazing. We also did our first long jump practice. We switched for Math, grade 6s have a graded assignment due Monday. After recess we did Jump Rope for Heart with our little buddies. After lunch was our final work block for our Cactus one-pagers- they look amazing! Lots of incredible work! The Soo-permarché was also open and students walked out the door with their freezies from Jump Rope.

We did not have the passé composé quiz today, Monday instead.

Students are reminded to have appropriate clothing/footwear at school at all times, we may practice Track and Field without notice!

Les Devoirs:

  • lundi- Quiz- passé composé avec avoir NEW BLOOKET
    • Math-6mes: Le Jardin de Zena [réponse en phrase, calculs/travaux, explication(s)/stratégie(s)]
  • Science World permission/payment (we go in 2 Mondays!)

Bonne fin de semaine!

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!
