We still have not hammered out the details about how to mix the classes for Social Studies and Science with Mme Phelan, so those are still on hold a bit. Thank you for your patience.
This weekend I gave the parents a homework to do and received 7 back this morning. Please take the time to fill out information about your child so that I am better able to help them out. If you lost the sheet, I will attach another one here. Thank you for your cooperation.
This week in learning:
FLA: comic books or in Fr La Bande dessinée. Students are in groups and learning/reading their comic album and putting on a play about it to work their oral french.
ELA: We are working on "The secret Life of Grown-ups" and students need to finish their rough copy ideas for their own rule by tomorrow. We will be writing good copies and adding illustrations later this week.
MATH: lesson 2 about numbers. How to read problems and figure out which operation is being asked to use. Cheat sheets will be given with vocab to help them out.
MUSIC: research on a genre of music. Chromebooks have been booked and they are being asked to put together a slide show with history and examples of the genre they chose.
REL: what does our name mean and why did our parents name us what they did. Will be for homework if they don't already know.
PHYSED: They have started today and should have gym strip by the next class if they don't already. It is a requirement that students change for this class and it is part of their health mark.

Welcome to the 2017 - 2018 School year!
The first item for the week is for students to be able to say their big numbers in French.
They need to be able to say 3 458 222: which is
trois million, quatre cent cinquante huit mille, deux cent vingt deux ( and write it out too).
If your child is weak in math, it is a good idea to review EVERY night...even if they don't want to. For the PAT, there is now a fast fact section that gives them 15 questions to complete in 15 minutes. Practice, practice practice your multiplication and division tables.
Friday, they have a summer memory drawing due for Religion, glued into their scrapbook.
Every night, without question, reading in French to get back into it.

I have been extremely busy this week helping your children get ready for the PAT's. It has been a long week and I know they will all be glad when it is over...the party is almost here!
With respect to the PAT's I hope your children have been sharing their marks with you, as I have been relaying them to them after the exam has been corrected. I will send the averages in a separate email.
Yesterday we had a relaxing day centered around Aboriginal stories, art, social studies and religion. We made talking sticks and learned more about the Peace Maker (part of Social).
Next week, we begin with the Farewell on Monday. A potluck lunch organized by the parents, and a farewell message from me.
Tuesday we walk to the church for our final celebration of the year. We chose upbeat music and the students have been in charge of running the hymn sing at school. Wednesday is Play day and Mr. Johnston has organized all of the stations to revolve around Canada's 150th birthday. the grade six students will be manning the stations...bring LOTS of water if it is hot out.
Thursday, we will be cleaning and taking everything home. I would like them to either bring in or wear the T-shirts they will receive (and the yearbooks) to have them signed by one another.
and then....it's time to say goodbye 😢.
I have enjoyed my first year in Grade 6 and have enjoyed watching your children grow into young adults. They will go on to do great things. Keep them close, as time WILL fly by.

This week in Learning:
We will be spending a great deal of time studying for the PAT's this week and using exam bank. We only have so many log-ons, so for the time being, I want them to use these at school. If we have extras at the end of this week, I will allow home use.
Today they did a Social Studies practice and noticed how difficult the language is. I have been saying from the beginning, that reading in French s the ONLY way to improve thier vocabulary.
Math: test on trasformations this Thursday
Science: test on forests and trees this Friday. Working on forest management project.
FLA: PAT reading comprehension this Friday am. Have a good night's sleep, eat a good breakfast and arrive on time.
Religion: working on the Liturgy and final prayer. Possible retreat put on by M Johnson on Wednesday pm.
ELA: writing thank you speeches for the Farewell.
Thank you to Liz for offering to trace the silhouettes for the Farewell. I still need someone to come in and put the packages together once the yearbooks come in.
