We will have a short quiz during the week of March 9th to evaluate students' understanding of fractions. Students will need to represent fractions by drawing pictures, find a common denominator to write equivalent fractions, to compare and order fractions, solve problems with fractions.
Here is the homework for next week.
Science:
This week we have been dissolving candies such as Smarties and Life Savers and learned that by changing some variables, we can accelerate the process. Students will continue to experiment with the variables next week.
FLA:
This week we worked on the "Discours Oratoire". Here are the guidelines and the rubric : Discours Oratoire. Students will start presenting on Monday, March 2nd. We also read two chapter of "La créature du marais" chapter 3 and students answered questions about it in class (see mark on Powerschool), we started chapter four. Please check on PowerSchool, I am missing lots of chapter 2 assignments, students have to imagine what the creature looks like, draw it and describe it using 10 adjectives. Those adjectives need to be at the right place (before or after the noun) & have to be accorded (feminine or masculine & singular or plural). Next week, students will present their "Discours Oratoire" and we will finish the fourth chapter of "La créature du marais".
A spelling bee contest has been announced. If students want to participate, here is the list of words for the "Concours d'épellation". The finals will be during the week of March 9th.
Social Studies:
This week, students had the Cordillera test. Students have seen their mark and they will be posted this weekend (hopefully). We started the Arctic region (it is a very short region to learn about). We will finish talking about that region next week.

Students are enthusiastically presenting their "Person that has Made a Difference" project.

Science:
New marks were entered in Power School. Students received their quiz back and as always, were encouraged to bring them home to share with parents. In chemistry, we are continuing to learn about the scientific process through a variety of experiments.
Math:
We started working on fractions this week. We reviewed the concepts learned in grade 4 and then started learning about equivalent fractions. Here is the homework for next week. There have been new grades posted in Power School.
FLA:
This week we worked on the "Discours Oratoire". Here are the guidelines and the rubric : Discours Oratoire. Students will start presenting on March 2nd. Even if two periods a week are scheduled to work on this project, I would advise students to work on it at home. We also talked about Black history month on Friday. Next week, students will read the third and forth chapter of "La créature du marais" and they will have two more periods in class to complete their research for the Speech Contest.

ELA:
Students are working on a 3-5 minute presentation with Google slides. Their slides must follow the following design principles:
-1 message per slide
-no more than 6 objects per slide
-short sweet text
-dark backgrounds and use contrast to your advantage
-size matters (most important part of slide should be biggest)
It is highly recommended that they practice what they are going to say for their presentation in front of an audience at home. This is a speaking assignment, so reading off a script is not allowed. Point form prompts are fine. Presentations will likely start on Wednesday next week.
Rubric: Presentation Rubric
Social Studies:
Don't forget their will be a test next Monday (February 24th) about the Cordillera region. Here is the study guide : Guide d'études. We started working on the last region, the Arctic region. This one will be fairly short, so expect a test in a couple of weeks.

Results for the Interior Plains' test are on Power School.
Math:
We are fast approaching the end of our unit on geometry. There will be a unit test on Wednesday, February 12. You can use these activities to prepare for the test. Here is a guide to help you with the 3d-shapes. You don't need to know the DECAGONAL shapes. Also, here are the notes to study. We will review in class next week. There will be no Math homework next week as it is a short week and also to give students a chance to prepare for the test.
ELA:
Students have been learning how to take notes and do active reading. They just completed a note taking test so that they are ready for their research project. Results are up on PowerSchool. Their research project is researching a person that has made a difference in the world and then they will create a Goggle slide and present to the class.
