Welcome to December! We officially have 3 weeks until Winter Break!

I am SO impressed with how everyone’s SICs went! The students did an amazing job showing off their learning and growth, and explaining all the different examples to their families. I am polishing up the documents and they will be available next week on MyEd.

The next 3 weeks will be busy with work, but also fun things as we near the break. We will do our best to keep up to date with all the things 🙂

Giving Tree Coin Drive is on all week. While we say we are collecting a certain coin each day, if you’d rather donate all on one day that’s fine as well. Anything helps!

Tomorrow is the Grade 7 vs Teacher Volleyball Game!!! Probably a day that I most look forward to each fall. Players- don’t forget your gear, spectators, don’t forget your donation to Giving Tree! Game on!

Les Devoirs:

  • demain: 6mes-Musique
    • 7mes- Math: Problem of the Week due
  • vendredi- Mismatch Day
    • Missy D Concert
  • vendredi prochain: Young Entrepreneurs Fair!

Ă€ demain!

Masala Boyz is so tasty!

Another productive day in the Chalet! We began by wrapping up our volleyball unit with an observation and assessment, I wandered around watching bumping and setting, giving a bit of feedback and jumping in as needed. Thanks to those that let me hit volleyballs at them, always fun 🙂 We then switched for Math. After recess it was all French- we wrote our Examen de Dictée 4 then worked on our paragraphs. After lunch we switched for ADST, 7s began their business plans and 6s did some fun flat lays.

Monday and Tuesday are going to be BUSY as we prepare for SICs on Wednesday and Thursday. If you have work that is due or has been due, GET IT DONE. It will come up during your conference!

Thank you to everyone who has already signed up their SIC. I am just missing a couple, I will email anyone on Monday who hasn’t signed up yet. Also, I believe I have received everyone’s Family Reflection, merci!

Last, thank you to about half of families that have paid for our French Film field trip next week. It is available on School Cash Online. I will email on Monday to anyone yet to pay.

After recess we switched for some math, the 6s went off to Music before lunch. After lunch, we had about 30 min to practice our NF text features, we did some jeopardy in small groups.

Happy Monday! Anyone watch the Grey Cup yesterday? We did and ate some very yummy appies 🙂

We worked hard today. As this is our last full week before SICs, we have lots to get done. I am excited for them to show you all the learning and growth that has taken place so far.

This morning we started a new DictĂ©e. It has been a few weeks but I want to review our results and do some self-reflection for SICs. The 6s wrote a PGFC Quiz in Math and 7s are working on multiplying integers. In English we wrote a NF Text Feature Quiz, and then practiced our mastery of it some more. After lunch the 7s went to Band and the 6 started their next Problème de la Semaine. Afterwards we met up with our little buddies for a quick free play in the gym. To finish the day, students received their paragraphs, Mon Passe-Temps PrĂ©fĂ©rĂ©, as well as started a new topic for this week’s- Ma CĂ©lĂ©bration PrĂ©fĂ©rĂ©e. The goal is for them to take the feedback from the previous and apply it to this week’s, and we will compare at SICs to show growth, and also to set a goal around writing.

Giving Trees are starting up! Soon the tags will be available on the trees, and our wonderful grade 7 leadership students will be helping out.

Les Devoirs:

  • demain- 6mes- La Musique
    • 7mes- Multiplying Integers

Alternative Title- BATS!

Another fun Friday where we avoided the rain! We did some volleyball in PE, played a fun serving game called “clear the court”. After recess we switched for ADST- 7s are working on their mini black and white ad that will be placed around the school. After lunch we did some work with non-fiction text features, students used some pre-made bits plus some of their own research and creativity to create a mini-poster about bats, but also labelling the different features. Some very interesting facts were shared!

Les Devoirs:

  • lundi- Quiz- Non-Fiction Text Features Quiz (BLOOKET PRACTICE HERE)
    • 6mes- PGFC evaluation

Hope you all had a lovely long weekend and that you were able to take a moment yesterday to reflect on Remembrance and Sacrifice.

From Mme Huard:

On Nov 6, we started a project on « pays de la francophonie » Each student picked a country and has a set of questions to answer. Then they will make a poster and present it. They have the option to present it in front of the class (highly suggested for grade 7 to practice for high school) or record themselves and email it to me. Presentations will be on November 20. Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Giving Trees will be starting up soon!

Les Devoirs:

  • demain: Projet du Pays Francophone due jeudi prochain
  • vendredi- Education Physique
    • 7mes- Young Entrepreneurs
  • lundi- 7mes- Math: Subtracting Integers, POW (Group Work) (due mardi)
    • 6mes- Math: Evaluation sur le plus grand facteur commun

What a great day!

Students spent the morning reading about and creating a one-pager about a current Canadian Forces operation, which we then created a display in the hallway.

After recess we had our Remembrance Day Assembly. It was a very powerful and meaningful assembly and I’m very proud of the way Div 3 comported themselves. Here is the collaborative art piece we made to hang in the gym.

After a tasty hot lunch we split off for ADST- the 7s trucked along with Young Entrepreneurs and the 6s did some photography work.

Grade 7 families- you should have received an email from me with some reminders.

I am still looking for a few drivers for next week’s field trip. I currently have enough for half the class. On Monday I will make the decision to cancel, I will need to give the facility enough notice. Thank you to those that have gotten back to me.

Semaine Prochaine:

  • lundi- Jour de CongĂ©
  • mardi- Jour du Souvenir
  • mercredi- 7mes- Orchestre, Math?
  • vendredi- Rockclimbing?

Bonne fin de semaine!

What a stunning day!

At lot of our focus today was on Remembrance Day- I shared that my cousin Chad was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2008, so Remembrance Day is very important to me and my family. We did some French reading about why we wear a poppy and what ceremonies look like, then switched for Math- 6s are working on PGFC and 7s on operations with integers. After recess, we created a collaborative art piece to hang at our assembly on Friday.

Please take a moment to read my email about Rockclimbing next Friday. I am in very much need of some parent drivers!

Les Devoirs:

  • demain- 7mes- Orchestre
  • vendredi- AssemblĂ© du Jour du Souvenir
    • 7mes- YE: bring survey results and prototypes
  • lundi- Jour du CongĂ©
