Happy Soggy Tuesday! We had 7 friends away today. There is definitely something nasty going around, my daughter is also home sick. Please remind your child about proper hand hygiene!

Double inside recess today, thankfully our class is pretty chill and able to find something quiet and appropriate to occupy their time.

Today busy but fun!

I had a great weekend and we spent some time this morning talking about. I’m a huge ancient civilization nut and I was treated to the Beyond Tut exhibit at the Convention Centre downtown. I showed the class some of the photos I took and the swag I got.

Then we went to watch the Langley Children’s Choir perform for us, it was very well done! They same some very entertaining songs. Div 3 was very well behaved.

We had quite a bit of French to do today (it is report card season), some Math and some English at the end of the day.

Les Devoirs:

  • demain- Orchestre
    • 7me Volleyball Game (Home!) against DPE
  • Math- 7mes- Test Thursday
    • 6mes- Evaluation Finale due vendredi

Another busy and productive day!

We are really coming along in volleyball. I assessed their ball control (volley and bump) for the first time today. I will assess again in a couple weeks to see if any further progress has been made.

After recess we heard the last Dictee for the week. The examen will be on Monday. We will also have a quiz on the rule- ces/ses/c’est. The Dictee 4 Blooket will be available all weekend for review.

In Math, the 7s continue working towards mastery of decimal multiplication and the 6s continue working with prime and composite numbers (numbers premiers et composés).

I forgot to mention yesterday that we started our On Partage activity in French. One day per week students will be given a random topic and time to prepare their thoughts before sharing out in front of the class. It’s a really easy and low stakes way for students to practice speaking in French in front of others. Typically Term 2 is when Concours d’Arts Oratoire happens, which is a much. more formal (and stressful) public speaking opportunity, and On Partage is my way of easing students into it. Our subject this week was “the best season and why” Ask your child what they chose and why!

Have a great day with Mme Shak demain! Reminder that Friday is a Jour de Congé for students.

Les Devoirs:

  • lundi- Examen de Dictée 4 et Quiz: Ses/Ces/C’est
    • 6mes- Math: Labyrinthe des Nombres Premiers et Composés

Nous Nous Souvenons


Hoping you are able to take a moment to honour and acknowledge all military personal, past and present, who bravely and selflessly serve to protect peace and liberty here and around the world.

Remembrance Day is particularly important to me, as my cousin, Private Chad Horn, served in Afghanistan and was killed in action on September 3, 2008.

Wishing you all a lovely long weekend. Just a reminder:

-Monday we will have a quiz on Non-Fiction Text Features.

-Tuesday, grade 6s Good Copy Letter to Town Counsellor is due. (Neatly written on lined paper)

What a soggy, yucky day!

Thankfully we didn’t have too much on the schedule today, plus hot lunch and double inside recess… it could have been a day.

We did some English in the morning, students are getting really good at identifying text features. After recess we split off for Enrichment. Unfortunately we don’t have it again for a few weeks since the next 2 Fridays are no school for students.

This afternoon we had our class party, a very chill afternoon of socializing, which everyone enjoyed.

Next week is a short week as Friday is Remembrance Day (Jour du Souvenir). We have a lot to fit into 3 days (with me), including finishing the FSAs, a school-wide write, and honouring Remembrance Day, something that is particularly important to me.

Les Devoirs:
