Actualités:
Tu peux répondre à une ou les deux questions suivantes:
1. Le gouvernement municipal veut avoir un vote par les citoyens pour voir s'il y a un intérêt dans les Olympiques. Comment appelle-t-on ce vote spécial et combien d'argent va-t-il coûter la ville de Calgary juste pour le vote?
2. Aujourd'hui (le 21 mars) le gouvernement provincial sort son plan pour le budget de l'Alberta. Quelle est la tradition du ministre de finance et qu'est-ce que Joe Ceci a fait au lieu?

This week in Learning...or is there any?
Welcome to la semaine de Francopholie where we will be immersing ourselves even more in French. Games, songs and activities all in French.
FLA: finishing the movie "Belle et Sebastien" and we will have some activities to go with. We are also working on the homophone "peu, peux, peut,
peut être et peut-être".
ELA: Continuing to read Shadows of Disaster". I have also asked for volunteers to write a letter to a grade 6 student in Kelvington Sask., who wrote to us. We participated last year in the Great Canadian Mail race, but this year I don't have room in my curriculum for it. I will send the letters at the end of this week. (FUN FACT: Kelvington is a small town where Wendel Clarke was born and is 10 minutes away from the tiny town where my mom was born!)
MATH: Continuing on fractions and comparing them but moving on to ratios next.
SOCIAL: Finishing up with Municipal government. Iroquois tests should be signed and returned. Thanks
RELIGION: we will be looking at the stations of the cross and who we can pray for when we go and make the stations at church.
MUSIC: Students have been assigned a new project (musical instrument) that we will work on at the same time as the lip sync as a class. I have chosen a song, but students were told that if they can come up with one, to email it to me before the end of this week.
A HUGE thank you to the parents who are involved in the BAKE SALE, from organizing to baking to sending their kids to work. Many hands make light work.
For Parent- Teacher conferences, if you plan on coming, please bring your child with you as it is imperative that we are all on the same page and everyone hears the same information. Thanks for your cooperation.

What happens when you work on progress reports until 5h30 every night after school, have 3 field trips and teach all day? You get sick...that's me. Hopefully it is a minor cold and not the crazy flu that others have endured.
PROGRESS REPORTS go home on FRIDAY March 16th
Thursday is Pizza and Theme day...
80's for us..."memories...🎶🎵🎵"
This week in Learning:
ELA: we are beginning a new novel study called "Shadows of Disaster" by Cathy Beveridge, a local author. There will be chapters and comprehension questions throughout this unit. Students should be paying close attention to figures of speech and how they can use them in their writing.
FLA: We are starting a Film study, called "Belle et Sebastien". It will focus on oral comprehension (listening to someone other than me speak in French) and also we will look at character descriptions and overall understanding of a storyline (les étapes du récit). We are also working on a poem for the Francophone days.
MATH: continuing on fractions and how to compare them, especially those with different denominators.
SOCIAL: TEST tomorrow March 14th on the Iroquois Confederacy.
A HUGE thank you to the parents and my hubby who volunteered for this worthwhile in-school field experience.
This week we look at Local government and what they do for us.
HEALTH: We are looking at how to study...(I should really re-think this and put it at the beginning of the year...oh well...next year). There will also be a test on this next week to see if students put the tips into practice.
RELIGION: Students are being the teachers and doing a lesson on "Giving". Lentopoly continues as does random acts of kindness.
MUSIC: we have just finished the French musician projects and next up we will begin a research on an instrument ( helpful for those thinking about taking BAND next year)and at the same time preparing our li sync song for after Easter.
