This week in Learning:
I, for one, am appreciative of the warmer weather and the sunshine!
Math: continuing with Fractions and ordering them biggest to smallest (vice versa) or placing them on a number line to compare them. If students follow step be step, they should not have problems.
ELA: finishing our poetry unit this week. All students should have a poem to recite...that means memorizing this week. Today we look at creative poems.
FLA: we are moving onto chapter 4 of the novel. Letters should be done so they are not forgotten about when handing in the whole assignment.
RELIGION: we are into the season of LENT. I play a game called Lentopoly, which helps students come closer to God by doing acts of kindness. You may see your child doing extra prayers or kindness chores around the house.
SCIENCE: we are almost done with the AIR part of our unit and will move onto aerodynamics and flight. This week we look at the Bernouilli principle.
We raised 232$ from the sale of our lollipops. A BIG thank you to our class council for their initiative
Also this week:
Wednesday: Anti-bullying presentation by Calgary Hitmen @ 9am. Wear pink that day
Thursday: crazy hair day and pizza day
Here is our mural made by the 2 grade 3 classes and the 5/6 and 6 classes on Black History month.

Welcome back from a Long weekend.
This week:
FLA: continue to read "Les crayons qui trichent". Students will also be working on a letter as a side assignment that goes with the book.
ELA: almost finished with the poetry unit. Students should be starting to compile their books together and also be looking for a poem to recite next week.
MATH: Those students who are still struggling with angles, should make a point of seeing me for some one on one time. We are moving onto fractions, improper and mixed at this time.
SCIENCE: we are almost done our experiment portion of the air unit. Students should have submitted their videos in GC or on gmail, proving that air exists and has certain properties.
RELIGION: tomorrow marks Ash Wednesday. I make it a rule to not have candy in my classroom during this time of preparation for Jesus' death and resurrection. I ask that this is respected when it comes to snacks and lunches. Merci

Selling lollipops for 50 cents each for Grade 6 farewell.
This week in Learning:
Math test on ANGLES going home today. Just as a side note, we reviewed the test material the day before and I used the actual test to do so. If students were paying attention, then the test should not have caused them issues. There will be a retest tomorrow.
We are now moving onto fractions next. The text has been placed on GC.
FLA: chapter 3 in our novel study
ELA: Diamante's next
Science: Proving the existence of air, finding videos or filming videos. Due Tuesday the 16th
Religion: poster on the Consecrated due Tuesday the 16th

This week update:
See previous BLOG with respect to fundraiser for grade 6 farewell.
Students are running low on supplies. This includes lined paper, pencils and erasers. Please send more from home.
FLA reading comprehensions are going home today to be signed by parents. Some students need more reading at home in French and speaking in French at school.
Students are asked to bring spoons to school tomorrow for our carnaval presentations.
Next week, the grade 6 student council will be selling heart suckers for a fundraiser for their farewell. In the past, we have raised money with bake sales, but that is not possible this year.
Here's how it will work
- In the morning teachers will ask the students if anyone has money to buy a sucker.
- We are asking exact change so that there is no touching of money.
- students will get a ticket.
Council will ask teachers how many tickets were sold and put that number of suckers in a bag. The bag will go to the office and teachers will send a student to retrieve them.
- students may only purchase ONE sucker per day, and we are only selling for 3 days at this time
- If students miss the morning selling of tickets, they will need to wait for the next day...no exceptions
- suckers will be 50 cents each

This week in Leaning:
Math: test on angles this week Thursday the 4th
FLA: comprehension re-test tomorrow. Working vocabulary of chapter 2 today and summaries of chapter one and 2 should be done this week to keep up to date.
ELA: working on poetry. Autobiographical should be complete and we will look at acrostics and cinquains this week.
SCIENCE: tomorrow we go to the staff room to prove that air is a liquid. So far students should know that air takes up space and has mass.
RELIGION: looking at 3 different roles people can take on as followers in the church. Laity, the consecrated and the clergy. We will look more closely at each of them this week.
MUSIC: presenting singers tomorrow, be prepared and make sure you sent it ahead of time.
This month's theme day : crazy hair, not 100% sure of the date yet.
Some different websites that students can check out to help reading and oral comprehension. You don't always have to read a french novel, but you do need to immerse yourself in french every day. There are quite a few here, so take is slow.
