Bienvenue au début de notre nouvelle année.
It was great to see the majority of the students (21/28) week to chat and to see how I might help them cope should we go to online learning...worst case scenario. I am remaining positive and look forward to teaching in person and re-connecting with the class.
This week in learning:
Be prepared for unit tests in Math, Social and Science in the very near future.
If we remain in person, please ensure your child has a protractor 
for the next unit on angles.
for the next unit on angles. (If we go to online, it is too difficult to teach angles without helping students directly, so in that event, we will learn fractions instead).
Science: reviewing the concepts in astronomy and I will be presenting a final project on planets. Hopefully it is sunny sometime this week so we can try out our sundials. Some students will need to rewrite the quiz on the phases of the moon as they did not succeed before Christmas. The UNIT test will be next week TBA. A study guide has been posted on GC.
Social: reviewing the concepts of Ancient Greece and students will be completing their pamphlet on these concepts. Again the test will be next week TBA. What to study posted on GC. Some students have been having difficulties accessing the textbook online. I have now sent it via Gmail. Please let me know if you are still having difficulties.
FLA: students will be completing their opinion letters and then we will move onto a fun reading comprehension competition called Hockey Lecture.
ELA: students will put the finishing touches on their Greek god posters. All of the research should have been completed by now.
Religion: we move into the feast of Epiphany.
ART: spirit animals using line or shapes
Music: rythm is our next unit
We welcome Mme Donnelly as our new AP and Phys Ed teacher. There is no new information at this time regarding the speed skating field trip. Keep your eyes open for upcoming news.
May God keep us all safe in school. Blessings in the New Year.
