Just like we have indoor and outdoor footwear, we are asking that students have indoor and outdoor masks. With the colder weather, masks get damp quickly and lose their effectiveness when so. Students all have a hook on the side of their desks to hang their masks for the morning or afternoon to dry them out. Thank you for your cooperation.

 Etudes Sociales test demain intro et chapitre 1

I spoke today to students about their job as students to get work done and handed in on time. I will give extensions to a certain point, and send notes to parents asking for late assignments. However after some time I need to move on. In that case, any work not handed in, will result in a note home, saying your child did not hand something in and they will receive a NM (no mark). This is to let you know that your child is not doing their assignments, even with prodding and reminders. If you have any questions about this, we can speak of it during the next virtual interviews. 

MONDAY test de Math

 Musique:

It is getting too confusing with all the posts on FG for O Canada, so I have sent a new link for part 3. If you have done it already, sorry, do it again please and be clear and concise for the littles. Merci

Happy Friday. I pray that you sepnd some quality time relaxing and being with family this long weekend. 

Coming up:

Math test Module 2 Monday October 19. We will be spending next week reviewing but students should already be doing so.

If you still have forms kicking around at home that need to be brought in, please do so. This includes: demographic, internet use, FOIP and FlipGrid.

Due to internet issues this week, students should be filming on FG the next 2 lines ASL of O'Canada at home. Once approved, they will send it to their Learning buddies in grade 3.

QUIZ on la Bande Dessinée that we should have had ages ago is on Tuesday the 13th.

 

 Happy Monday:

With some students out on a weekly basis, I will do my best to update to GC with the assignments needed to be done. If I have not sent something, send me a message so I don't forget. It will be an end of day thing as I need to attend to the inclass first. Thanks for understanding.

This week in Learning:

Math: we are going to take a pause with lessons, because students are not taking their time with the sheets they hand in. Book questions are done on an honor system (you do the questions assigned and then we correct as a class and you correct on your own) and then the Fiche you hand in to me showing that you understand. What I am getting is: kids skipping numbers, not showing their work and not really giving me their best efforts. When I write "R" it means they have to redo the sheet with more care and to ask questions for better understanding. They will then return the sheet to me for a mark. If it is not redone, it becomes an NY as they did not understand it in the first place and made no attempt to see me for understanding the lesson.

ELA: we have completed reading and questions up to chapter 8. If you missed corrections of those questions, see me for the answers. 

FLA: I picked up la Bande dessinée today, several missing even after all the extended time given. We will finish oral presentations this week.

Sciences: We looked at tire treads in the parking lot. This week we will look at animal prints and fingerprints.

RELIGION: students are learning what sacred stories are and how to find other stories, such as historical and songs in the bible.

ART: Onomatopeia is due by this Friday. Nouveau 7 does not include you.

 October first

Good to be back in the classroom. We were welcomed with smiles and appreciation for what we went through. Again thanks for your cooperation.

I have been giving the kids lists of homework assignments that they owe me from before and during online schooling. I would like these all in by Monday so we can start anew.

We had pictures taken today...no group shots...hopefully some day. It would be fun to see the difference between grade 1 and 6...just for fun.

Demographics forms, FOIP and internet use forms are a must for items to be returned. The office needs them asap. thanks. I also need the Flipgrid permission slips.

The kids ran Terry Fox today with Mme Covey. Please send a toonie for Terry if you are able to donate.  merci
