This week in Learning:

MATH: we finish fractions this week and move on to ratios and then %. A unit test is around the corner

SCI: we are working on a poster and each student researched how a bird or insect flies. Now it's time to put the info on paper and to indicate the 4 forces of flight. Several students have still not gotten into the habit of sending me their google doc when they write it and then are at a loss when I print everyone else's out for use. 

ES: we have begun municipal govn't. we will look at other reasons why we need them and how we can be involved in local govn't.

FLA: we are writing our persuasion letter on which activities to do for Franco week. This is a PAT practice for functional writing.

ELA: we continue with poetry and short stories go home today. Where to improve: sticking to the plan; having clear try/fail, try/fail, try/succeed ideas; vocabulary and figures of speech.

Religion: we continue with Lent, the temptation of Jesus in the desert. 

Music: we are almost done with rhythm. I would like students to look for the lyrics to their favorite song (clean, can be English ) and bring them to next week's ART class...not tomorrow

1:00 pm Announced lockdown March 1st

March 3rd: : • Bishop McGrattan visits 9:40- 10:20

Je n'ai pas eu la chance de demander quelqu'un pour une question, alors je ferais cela demain.

 

Question pour demain:

Why are forest fires good?

Monday we will doing a Room Clear drill. Remind in Santé to go over the procedures. 

Question pour demain:

In ELA, as a class, we wrote a Haiku about what?

Lentopoly: no whining or complaining.  Lentopoly is a game we play during Lent where students are asked to pray, give or abstain from certain things during Lent. It is optional but allows students to become closer to God while playing. I hope that you hear a lot about this for the next 40 days.

During Lent, I would ask that you refrain from sending candy/sweets for snacks. 

I have also heard that there is food sharing going on during lunch. This is frowned upon, because of allergies and other health concerns. Students need to stop this practice. If you do not have enough food, bring more or go to the office. Thank  you  for your cooperation.
