Another productive Friday!

We played some pickle ball again today, always fun.

Students received their Quiz:Et/Est back, they were very well done overall! We also tried out a French reading activity today that went pretty well.

We switched for Math, Problem of the Week/ Problème de la Semaine #2 was due. 6s are reviewing and practicing their multiplication facts and finishing up their Evaluation de Placement de Valeur. 7s are continuing with divisibility? I think…

After a tasty hot lunch, we switched for ADST for the first time. Grade 7s will be participating in Young Entrepreneurs this term, our Fair will take place the week of December 8-12 (the second to last week before Winter Break), for those trying to make plans. I will confirm the date next week. We had a really great conversation about successful businesses, previous success and learning from participating in YE, things we’re looking forward to etc. Guidelines and products that are not permitted were also discussed. Students will receive their booklets and more information next week.

We ended the day with some students using the pizza boxes to make a line of dominos 🙂

Les Devoirs:

  • lundi- 7mes: Orchestre

Bonne fin de semaine!

Another busy day full of productivity. We worked through day 3 of DictĂ©e, students should now be preparing for the Examen on Friday. This can look like rewriting each days’ text or vocabulary, reading it out loud, playing a word/letter game using the vocab (ie hangman, scrabble etc). Divisibility rules and place value were the focus again in Math. After lunch, we used school tech for the first time to do a mini research project on Indian Residential Schools in BC, the Yukon and a few in Alberta. We created a collaborative display for inside the school. Our Orange Shirt Day assembly is on Friday.

This morning we had a lovely gym block- after our warmup we practiced some pickle ball basics, ran a few drills, then played a bit of back and forth. I was happy to see everyone wore relatively reasonable gym attire and shoes.

In French we did an English to French translation activity which will hopefully encouraged us to not use Google Translate for entire sentences or chunks of text.
