This week in learning:
Francais: We are finishing up our comic books of Franklin. Students are working diligently. At the end, there will be a quiz on the vocabulary. We are also reviewing verbs...this week: present tense of "ir" verbs. Students should know the endings of present tense "er" verbs.
Science: We have just completed our finger printing experiment and will be looking more closely at what makes them different.
ELA: Still reading "Chasing Vermeer" and working on figures of speech.
Social Studies: Signed tests should be in by this Wednesday. We are now looking at individual rights vs collective rights and why first Nations, French and English get special rights.
Religion/Leadership: We are starting a "We Scare Hunger" Campaign. Students will be visiting classrooms and making announcements on the intercom to get everyone to donate food to St Luke Feed the Hungry. We will also be writing letters to Pope Francis about what MERCY looks like. Mme Wozny will select two from our school to go to Pope Francis.
Thanksgiving celebration Thursday @ 1pm.
MATH: writing a test as I write this! We will then be reviewing order of operations to complete math equations. For those who need a refresher course: parentheses first, then multiplication, division, addition, subtraction [from left to right, whichever appears first].
Happy Thanksgiving to each of you and your families!

Welcome to the Grade 6 BLOG. If you look at some of my older posts, you will see a little bit how I operate. I like to let you know what's new in learning for the week, post pictures of what your children are doing and for this year, will also let you know of upcoming quizzes, tests, and larger projects. Please check back regularly so that you don't miss a thing. I also encourage you to have your children check the BLOG as this is FOR them and ABOUT them.
I wish nothing but the best for the students in this, their last year at Ecole St Luke. Cheers to a new year!

A final goodbye...
As I remove all of our decorations and works of art and pack up my things to move forward, I wanted to say a last goodbye...or rather
Au revoir.
I am exhausted, but fulfilled after my first year back to teaching in many years. Your children have definitely kept me young (despite the gray hairs poking through)! I hope their first year of school has made them life-long learners and has given them the desire to do better, to do great things and to have fun while doing all of that.
As you now know, I am jumping a few grades to teach grade 6. My first plan was to stay in grade 1 for another year or two, but I was asked to teach grade 6 because of my background in Jr. high. I am looking forward to new adventures, new challenges and maybe a few minutes to sit during the day ( a luxury not afforded to grade 1 teachers...ask your kids about Mme Colette's magic magnet trick)!
I hope we see each other again in a few years. Remind your children to read in French over the holidays and if it's a rainy day, check out French cartoons on You Tube. This will help them not lose what they have worked so hard for this past year.
With love and Blessings,
Mme Colette
