Update this week

When I asked the students who had completed certain poems that we have been working at for over a week, not all hands went up, which tells me that homework is not getting done in a timely manner. This book of poetry is not yet due, however, when the date comes up and they are not on top of daily assignments, it will be a mad rush. Time management is key.

Last day to purchase lollipops for our Gr 6 Farewell fundraiser is Friday.

We are in need of loose leaf paper. Since September, we have been pooling our ressources but they are now depleted. If your child did not bring all their supplies at the beginning, please consider doing so now. Also check with your child what they might be missing; expo markers, glue, scissors, rulers, markers etc... Time to reload.

In our mardi gras basket, we are up to 5 bottles of wine and a few bars of chocolate. Thank you and still in need.

Overdue homework: talk to your child:

* La grande loi de la Paix: title page Social studies

* French book report #1

* History/changes in the Canadian food guide

 This week in Learning:

Math: today was study day and time to ask final questions for the unit test on Friday.

Sciences: we had a few experiments on how air has mass and how it holds pressure.

FLA: post comprehension reading test on Volcanoes. Students were supposed to bring home their quiz on parts of a sentence for signing. Results were good, which means their writing should be good as well. That brings us into the next unit of story writing.

ELA: continue working on your poems. Tomorrow is CTF...all students must have their project approved and thier BLOG form signed before continuing.

ES: we continue to work on the Iroquois...how they made decisions and how they governed.

Religion: we look at the laity, the clergy and the consecrated. Once this unit is over, there will be an open book test.

Health: several people still not handed in "ce que je mange"...a diary of what they eat in a week. Ask your child if they are one of those people. Paragraphs on comparing the Canada Food guides are due today. We looked at our Jump Rope for Heart kick off campaign and had a quiz that might just save your life.

Music: We begin teaching the rhythms that students invented, tomorrow.

ALSO:

lollipops to support Gr 6 Farewell 50 cents

update:

Math test on Angles Friday Feb 11th

Also that afternoon we will be having a Tpet presentation on the Iroquois Confederacy. Thanks to the parents who volunteered.  

French book reports are now overdue. A few have trickled in but I will no longer accept them after this Friday for a mark. This is the one where you write the parts of a storyline that we learned.

Some students also did not hand in  their Health assignment : what they ate during a week. Those that were sick have until next Thursday to do so.

Religion Notebooks are being picked up Friday for marking. This includes 3 reflection liturgies and 10 assignments. If you are absent, it is your responsibilty to hand it in upon your return to school.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Title page of the "Grande loi de la Paix" is due Monday. We began this assignment at the begining of the month.

We are begining a fundraiser for Gr 6 Farewell. Lollipops will be sold for 50 cents each day. One sucker per day for one week.

So good to meet and speak with parents and students Thursday evening and Friday. Let's continue to work hard and finish on a positive note.

I came across this website through our CSSD Science consultant and had to share because of the last name of the ship. Check it out

This week in Learning:

Math: angles of a triangle review and homework. Then we move to angles of a quadrilateral.

Science: the scientific process and the properties of air. Students will be expected to hand in a lab booklet with all the experiments demonstrated throughout this unit at the end.

SOCIAL: how to interpret maps

ELA: acrostic poems à la grade 6

FLA: semi-finals and finals for Hockey lecture. Your poems for your learning buddies are now due.

Religion: Finishing our baptismal responsibilities and moving onto how we can serve God.

Music: Boom, Snap, Clap is now overdue. I sent a Google doc to help with your music lesson...check your Gmail. Next class will be the last one to work on it. And then you teach your rhythm to the class.

End of week update:

Students are working on a extended project in Social about the Iroquois. Everytime we learn something new, it will be added to their project. So far we have learned: Pacificateur; clans; nations; maisons longues; rôles; Wampums 

When students are absent the 1st place they should go is the Google Classroom. It will have the outline of the day included where and when to meet for instruction. When they return, they should hand in any assignments they have done or ask for anything else they missed.

In Science we are learning the properties of air. We may go to the staffroom for some experiments, as we will need water. A letter will be sent outlining further details.

Interviews are tonight(all booked up sorry) and tomorrow (spaces still available). Monday is a PD day. Enjoy your long weekend

This week in Learning:

 We continue to work on angles in MATH and there will be a quiz on Thursday to show if students can name them, measure them and draw them.

ELA: we will finish Greek gods today.

FLA: Hockey lecture and quiz on the parts of phrases Feb 2

SCIENCE: we are presenting planets and then going onto air. Science tests on Astronomie are going home today for signature and return.

SOCIAL continue Iroquois. Last week we looked at the Great Law. This week we will look at the make-up of the nations.

Religion: we are priests prophets and kings when we are Baptized. What does that mean?

Music: rhythm and Boom Snap Clap. I re-posted the link for FG. Hopefullly it works now.

When students return from isolation or sickness it is their responsibilty to get caught up on work missed and to come and see me for anything that they don't understand.

Parent Council has asked for items for our "basket" for Mardi Gras. Anything related to Wine. This can include gift cards for cheese, grapes etc. This fundraiser is what gives us productions, field trips and technology. Please consider sending something in. Merci
