I sound like Barry White today so it's a good thing you are reading this and not having to hear my voice!

A short week this week!
Francais: We are starting a new unit on a film study. It will help the students listen to other French speakers and get to know
different accents and story lines. This week we will work on pre-viewing activities. Homophone quiz tomorrow.

ELA: just finished marking the poetry booklets...funny thing...they all started on a high and as we got further along, they seemed less interested, less of an effort! I found it humourous. Good job overall if they included every poem necessary. Now we are concentrating on prefixes, suffixes and some other grammar demons!

Sciences: Finishing presentations on their planet research and beginning our next unit on Air and Aerodynamics.

Math: we will finish the unit on angles this week and expect a test next week...mid to end of week. Some students are still struggling with their multiplications...get those down pat!

Etudes Sociales: Starting a new chapter on our Local government...what they are responsible for and how it works. The next wave of Current Events will focus on politics ONLY. They can be municipal, provincial or federal politics...not international please. We will start these in March.

Religion: quiz tomorrow on 10 commandments and the UN rights of the child. Next up: the Beatitudes.
