Another productive day 🙂

Second day of Dictée, students seem to be taking to it quite well. In Math, 7s are continuing with Divisibility rules, 6s are wrapping up large number place value with an evaluation tomorrow or Friday. Both groups are working on a Problem of the Week due next Wednesday.

Happy First Day of Autumn! Hope you all had a lovely weekend, a few students shared out the best part of their weekend, sounds like lots of fun and interesting events 🙂

Today was Day 1 of our Dictée program! The first 3 days of the week, students will listen to and write down French sentences, work with the vocabulary as well as a specific grammar or verb conjugation rule. The last day (or following Monday), students will write the Examen de Dictée, and the day after that, a quiz on that week’s rule. The target is 5 errors or less on the examen, and we will also examine our results over time to look for patterns/improvements etc.

This week, we will also be dedicating some time to discuss Truth and Reconciliation, Residential Schools and Orange Shirt Day. Our assembly will be on Friday.

We had about half the class present their Moi Dans Un Sac this morning. Lots of diverse interests, love to see it. Anyone who did not present today should be prepared to present tomorrow.

Grade 6s had their double block of Math today. We are continuing with place value and also began our Problème de la Semaine activity that will be an ongoing math assignment throughout the year.

We also met with our little buddies for the first time. We did a walk and talk around the path to get to know each other, then finished by playing on the primary playground. I love watching the big buddies with their littles, such a great opportunity to show empathy and to engage constructively with younger students.

And that’s a wrap on our first official week together! I thanked the class at the end of today for an absolutely lovely week together. I am excited for all the fun and wonderful things we are going to accomplish together this year 🙂

This morning I presented my Moi Dans Un Sac (you can ask your child what items I brought. We will begin student presentations on Monday. We also did a fun French syllable activity with fruit vocabulary and then switched for Math. After recess, we went to the gym for the first time and ran some collaborative rope activities. I was very impressed at the communication and creativity in the groups. After lunch we went outside and played 4 Sur Les Sièges, and had a lot of fun, ask your child how it works! We also began monthly calendars that will be displayed for the class and will continue to work on them next week.

We discussed the last element of the class economy today (ask them what it is!). After that, we read a Rentrée Scolaire texte (en francais) and completed a few exercises with information from the text.

We did a full Math switch today. 6mes are doing a place value/number sense refresher and adding to their knowledge with millions and billions.
