Question pour demain:

What was Moses’ commission from God?

Yesterday we had a pre-test reading comprehension in FLA and several students did not score very well. This text was grade 6 level for French immersion. I am aware that students do not like to read in French, however, it is imperative to their success in this program. I will be placing 3 readings per week in the Google classroom for students to practice their comprehension. Use the strategies we have learned in class to practice your reading. We are also playing Hockey lecture to help them in this regard. Thank you for your support.

La question pour demain mercredi:

In Religion we reviewed big "C" Catholic and little"c" catholic. What do each of these mean?

 La question du jour: pour mardi

What is the name of the story that Mme read to us in Social Studies. You need to answer before coming to school, you can answer in English as the story was read in English.

This week in Learning:

MATH: test today on decimals. Next up is angles. All students should have a protractor by tomorrow to be successful in this unit.

FLA: we will be having a unit on reading comprehension called Hockey Lecture. Students have been placed in teams that are equal in abilities. Teams will be going head to head against another team, first reading the passage, understanding it and then asking questions to the opposing team to try and stump them. This will help in our reading comprehension for the PAT's.

ELA: We will be writing short stories to prepare for the PAT's. This will just be our first attempt at it.

SCIENCE: test this week on Thursday for Astronomy. Next up is Air and aerodynamics

ES: test is this Wednesday on Greece. Next up The Iroquois Confederacy.

Religion: We move onto how to answer God's call; unit 4. Today we had a liturgy for Epiphany and learned about St Carlos Acutis. Here is his website     https://carloacutis-en.org/

This week also:

Wednesday: we have a presentation by Sisters on vocations

Thursday pizza and spirit day: pyjamas

Friday: meeting at noon in the Learning Commons for all students in the Science Fair

Next week: Lacrosse residency

Friday's question and you cannot wait until you come to school to write the answer. All answers must be done at home.

What numbers, letters and symbols did we write over our classroom door and on our desks?

Also the Social and the Science tests have slight changes as I had forgotten that next week we have Social on MWF and Science on T and Th. To clarify the Social test is Wednesday and the Science test is Thursday next week. Math is Monday

I usually like to finish the units we are studying before Christmas, however with my late return and what M. Degagne managed to cover, they will be completed this week and there will be tests all next week. Start studying now and manage your time wisely.
