Bon retour à l’école les élèves. If you kept up with the work we did online, then you will be smooth sailing until the end. Unfortunately, that is not the case for the majority of the students. When I was picking up assignments, and noting who had done what, my list was pretty empty. I was disappointed to say the least. Even with all of the reminders on the BLOG and GC, some students did not take their learning seriously. Thank you to those who did their work and handed it in.

 This is a notice to let you and your children know that we will be having a Zoom presentation on Fire prevention by parent and firefighter Randy Chevrier tomorrow at 9 am. The Zoom call allows for only 100 participants and this presentation is being offered to all of Division 2. It is my hope that your child will arrive early to ensure a spot. If you have siblings in another grade, please share a screen to limit the numbers. The Division 1 students had their presentation yesterday, and the teachers who attended said it was a huge success and a great presentation.

 New Zoom link for classwork and instruction

End of week update:

 Merci les élèves d’être à l'heure pour les réunions Zoom. 

Don't forget attendance is in the morning and afternoons.

A few glitches to work out but so glad to be able to continue to see everyone's faces. Have a wonderful weekend and see you Monday morning for Math to start the day. 

ELA is the only real homework for Monday. 

Some of you that handed in your Mental Health hats, might want to reconsider what you submitted. I had asked that the poster include everything that you learned on Mental Health and some of you wrote one sentence...Is that really all you learned? 

Happy Mother's day to you. 

Hope your kids spoil you.

This week in Learning:

Math: Tests on geometry and measure coming home for signatures. This week we will jump ahead to Unit 8 because it is easier to teach in person and I alwasy have a nagging feeling that we will end online. Hopefully not, but want to be proactive

FLA: we are doing a week and maybe more on verbs tenses. Students are ahving a difficult time with this and conjugating their verbs incorrectly.

ELA: we continue with Shadows of Disaster. I am noticing that some students are NOT keeping up with the comprehension questions for each chapter. This will cause undue stress at the end of the novel study when all is due . Every night a chapter to read and questions to answer.

Religion: we are looking at inequality and injustice.

Santé: This Wednesday is Hats on for Mental Health. Students are working on a poster about everything they have learned about mental health vs mental illness. It will be due next week. Wear a hat on Wednesday to show you are all for mental health!

SCIENCES: We continue to look at trees and this week it the life of a tree, including how branches grow and things that affect the life of a tree.
