Orange shirt DayTuesday, September 25, 2018
This week in Learning:
FLA:
Today I sent home the quiz on Bande Dessinée. It is to be signed by the parent and returned to school. Good job overall. We will have one more class to work on their comic book strips and then I will assign a due date. Stay tuned.
ELA: we have begun reading the novel "Chasing Vermeer". Students will be reading in class and answering comprehension questions to go with the chapters. During this novel study we will work on newsarticles for the PAT preparation. Have your child read some easy news articles or even magazine articles, to get a feel for the type of language used. this week students should be done reading up to chapter 4.
Math: I am finding that some students are still struggling with their multiplications and it is affecting their work. If your child falls in that category, it is necessary that they practice, practice, practice. There are many math websites with math games that can play online. Here is one

One part of the PAT's will have 15 questions whereby students are not allowed to use calculators. Thanks for being on top of this.
We will be looking at order of operations to figure out math equations...do YOU know what the order is?
Science: Last week we looked at tire treads and their characteristics for helping police. This week we look at handwriting analysis and maybe get into fiber tests.
Social: Students have a test on the Introduction and Chapter 1 this Thursday. Next we look at democracy in action. That means that we will be starting our class elections and debates. Current events dates have been assigned and students should be aware of when they are presenting.
Religion: We looked at friednships and what makes a friend a friend. This week, we will look at why people help one another, even if they are not close to us.
ART: we had our last class on Onomatopeia and I am anxiously awaiting our sketchbooks. If students have one from last year that still has pages, they are most certainly welcome to bring them in while we wait.
Thursday: Terry Fox at 1pm-ish. Forms and donations to be given before Thursday.
Friday: Superhero theme day and Mme Wozny made it Orange shirt day as well. I spoke to the students today how they can incoporate both.
Finally a HUGE shout out to my class for their amazing job at the opening mass today. They were respectful, well mannered and everyone commented on their maturity and how well they did. BRAVO

I hope that everyone had a restful weekend. This week in Learning:
Math: factors (which are the 2 numbers used to multiply and obtain a product). We will also be categorizing them as compound numbers and prime numbers
ELA: finishing our Secret stories of Grown up rules. Due date TBA.
FLA: we will begin creating a comic strip based on a well-known story. If your child wants to bring a story from home, that's fine. I will get some fairy tales from the Learning Commons they can use as well. Quiz on vocab from Bande Dessinee on Monday Sept 24th. Read it over every night...DO NOT study the night before!
Science: tire treads, handwriting analysis and examining fibers.
Etudes Sociales: the difference between facts and opinions. We will be doing a mini-debate based on a topic that we can agree upon.

This week in Learning:
Math: Daily homework will be put on the Blog after school if there is homework from the book. This way, students do not have to treck home the textbooks. This week we look at multiples and factors.
FLA: We continue our Comic book study. Students should complete the summary of their story by this Friday to be handed in. the rest of the week, we will be doing a skit based on their Comic book story.
ELA: Our first writing assignment is to come up with a parental rule and make up the truth behind that rule. For eg: Parents tell us to eat our vegetables because they are good for us, but the Truth is...Otherwise vegetables will take over the world and eat us!
Social Studies: Values and rules...why do we need them. Students will be given a date to do a short current events presentation in class. Current events should focus on Canadian government: Local, provincial or federal. Students need to address the following: Who (is involved)
When it took place
Where it took place
What happened
Why and how
(An example of this would be: today Local council discussed and debated to have the speed limit in neighbourhoods reduced to 30km/hr instead of 50 km because too many people are being injured on the streets, especially near schools).
Science: Shoe imprints and fingerprints.
Art: license plate names
Religion: Prayers for the intercom to follow the "Our Father": praise God, Ask God for help for someone, ask for forgiveness, Ask for guidance.
Thank you to everyone for sending in the forms so quickly. Tonight, pizza forms and BarBQ invitations are being sent home.
I will be sending out an email just to test and make sure that I have everyone's correct email address. Just a quick note saying "Got it" will suffice.
Coming up: Interviews and BarBQ. I look forward to meeting you all.
