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- Assemblé du Jour du Souvenir
    • 7mes- YE: bring survey results and prototypes
  • lundi- Jour du Congé
  • mardi- Jour du Souvenir

À demain!

Happy Monday!

This morning the 7s worked diligently on their FSAs while the 6s did some French work with Mme Gaudet. After lunch, the 7s went to Band and the 6s continued their work with factors, then some Monday catch up to end the day, we will out new job applications, salaries were paid and rent was collected. Those that had not completed their bonne copies utilized their time well while others played cooperatively.

I will send the Rock Climbing waivers and other relevant information home tomorrow. I am looking for drivers to get us there and back, Friday November 14, 10:30-1:00ish. If you are available, please let me know 🙂

Students were to bring their light-up houses home today, they did really great work, I can’t wait for them to show you!

Thank you to everyone who brought in goodies to share 🙂

Brrrr! What a dreary day! I think we can expect the same the rest of the week unfortunately… please remind your child to prepare and dress accordingly for these conditions!

Today was busy! We continued planning our paragraphe de la semaine, split off for ADST. The grade 7s conducted their survey for YE today, and persevered in unpleasant conditions. Next time we meet we will go over results and continue with the process. Students have probably already gleaned some information from the process today, and should continue with production of their product at home.

After recess and lunch, we continued work on our maisons hauntées. They are looking good, some have even wired up their circuits! Work continues tomorrow.

Good luck to our grade 6 volleyball players at their game this afternoon!

Les Devoirs:

  • demain: 6 students in at lunch to complete Types de Circuits paquet
    • 7mes- Orchestre
  • vendredi- Fête de Classe? il faut payer et discuter les détails…

Happy Monday! No inside recess for us today so Mme was happy today 🙂

We were busy today! Started a paragraph of the week in French, switched for Math, and then began a super fun Science project- a lit up haunted house! (or some other themed lit up house). Students have begun the process of constructing and decorating their houses, and will finish by wiring up one or two elements to light up using coin batteries, copper tape and LEDs. The entire class was super engaged before and after lunch. We’ve got some great looking houses in the works!

Students are to have their Fall Learning Update in their backpacks today, please take a moment to look it over. You would have heard from me already if there were any major concerns.

  • demain: maison hantée continuée

What a productive day!

This morning the class wrote their Quiz: Verbes ER au présent. Afterwards we switched for ADST and the grade 7s did some practice market research in preparation for their survey conducting next week.

After recess we watched a couple videos on circuits and then used different materials to make our own! Students were tasked with building a basic circuit in series, then with a switch, multiple bulbs, adding more batteries etc. They then tried to build a parallel circuit before we ran out of materials. Super fun!

Good luck to our grade 6s who have their first volleyball game this afternoon!
