You will be noticing examples of poems on the BLOG for the next few days. They are to help the students with their poetry booklet that we are working on. Compilation will be due at a later but it is best if students work on them during the time given in class so that they do not get too far behind.

Welcome to a brand new year!
To begin with I would like to thank everyone for all of your Christmas wishes and gifts and goodies. They were all appreciated. I had a very relaxing holiday and I am ready to get on with the next few months of hard work.
Français: we are finishing our presentations on monsters. This is an oral presentation to go with our novel study. Test on “imparfait” verb tense Thursday Jan 12th.
English: we will be finishing our presentations on Greek gods and goddesses. After that, a unit on poetry.
Science: finishing our unit on astronomy with a project on planets...a travel brochure using the information we collected before Christmas.
Math: finishing our unit on decimal numbers.
Études sociales: starting our unit on the Iroquois confederacy and how it ties into our democracy.
Religion: Test on units 1-4 that should have been done before the break, but there were too many sick students. Will review. Test on Friday Jan 13th

Two more weeks until we can finally rest and relax...
Super Huge kudos to the Grade 6 class for their phenomenal performance at the Christmas concert. I was down in front, expecting to direct them, when suddenly...I looked at them and found out they were not looking at me but doing exactly what they were supposed to do...perform! Tears ran down my cheek...so proud of this awesome group! Hope you liked it.
Please consider sending wet wipes...we have several students sick already, and wiping down desks will go a long way to keeping germs at bay.
This week in learning:
Francais: doing a research on Big Foot or another legend, whereby they put their information on a poster. Goes with our novel study.
Math: Studying for the unit test on December 16th. NOW is the time to ask questions about stuff they don't understand.
ELA: finishing research on Greek gods, and goddesses, that we will present to the class in the coming week. Starting to write in a journal to get them into the habit of writing down ideas quickly.
Science: continuing with astronomy. Finished seasons, next up, magnitude gauges, constellations and moon phases. The sheet on Moon phases will be picked up this Thursday.
E.S: finishing up on Ancient Athens. We will have a unit test on December 20th. We will also have Greek games on the afternoon of the 19th. In the past, Mme Ginette made it a greek day, but there were so many problems last year, that I decided against it. We will dress up in togas for the afternoon and have our very own Olympics, but no greek food. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Religion: talking about Advent, how Mary said yes, and life in the first century. We are also busy with our Candy Gram campaign. 50 cents for a candy cane to give to someone who you would not normally give to. The money goes to charity.

Just looked at last week's BLOG...full of mistakes..shame on me for rushing and not looking it over before sending it...practice what I preach much!
A HUGE thank you to Teresa Cowan for organizing the Bake Sale and to the parents for providing goodies to be sold. I do not have a total for the sales as of yet.
Thank you to everyone who came to the interviews. I believe the most important message brought forward, is that students need to read more in French, as it is the foundation for everything else.
This week:
Francais: Imparfait verbs; finishing the novel, with a culminating activity at the end.
ELA: Koudos to the students for their Reader's Theater presentations...nothing but AB and EX. We also presented to the grade one class, our reading buddies, but one group has yet to present. We will be finishing the research projects on greek gods and godesses. The goal of this project was to learn GOOD research skills and making sure they know how to cite books and websites.
Math: Working on equal equations.
Etudes Sociales: Was ancient democracy equal for everyone?
Science: We will look at the magnitude of stars and make a magnitude gauge. Are your children still observing the phases of the moon and writing them down? I will pick those up next week. Also looking at how the sun, the earth and rotations/revolutions give us seasons.
Please have costumes at the school by Tuesday...really looking forward to the concert! We have worked very hard on our performances.
