FLA - March 30th

Bonjour 5e,

I hope everyone had a nice Spring break... As you know, we (teachers) are starting to get organize with Google Classroom for our online learning. Mme Vicky and I will be collaboration and will share information with you on the same Google Classroom page. So, most assignments will be evaluated in FLA and Social Studies.

This week, you can finish La créature du marais Chapter 2 & 4  (rubric) if you're not finish. I corrected all the ones that were handed to me before Spring break and marks are on PowerSchool. If you are done both chapters, you can start working on the Chapter 8 Research-Presentation. For this project, every students have to pick a different Canadian animal, this is the list of students' choices. Please, when you pick an animal, send me an email so I can update the list: claturcottebarabe@cbe.ab.ca

Next week, you'll have time to continue working on the Chapter 8 project.

It would also help me if you go on Google classroom with your CBE email address and join the 5-1 classe with this code : ubhdaks

March 20th

Dear students, I am sorry we did not have a chance to say goodbye. There was a ton of things I wanted to do with you, including finding out if you were able to grow a bigger crystal than mine! I am sure we will reunite eventually. In the meantime, please check the blog regularly as I will post lessons and activities to help you continue your learning and be ready for grade 6 next year. You can always contact me by email at: marichard@cbe.ab.ca

This week, we started learning about surface tension of water. Next week, we will continue to experiment with water and also learn about acids and bases. When we return from spring break, we will take the first week to review all of our chemistry concepts and then will have a unit test in the following week.

We are learning about representing, ordering and comparing decimal numbers. The grades for the quiz on fractions will be posted in Power School this weekend. Here is the homework for next week. I am also posting an extra optional worksheet for the students who would like extra practice during Spring Break :)

This week, we finished "La créature du marais", we had some time to work on chapter 4. I am still missing lots of paragraph.

Please check PowerSchool as I am still missing some Chapter 2 assignments and many Chapter 4 assignments - rubric.

Next week, they will be getting ready for a presentation about an animal or a plant.

Social Studies

This week, students had their test on the Arctic region.  Marks will be posted no later than next Monday.

We also started planning for the big project of the regions of Canada.  Here are the guidelines and rubric : Planification et grille d'évaluation.  We will work on the research for the presentation next week.  More info will be added next week.

FLA:
This week students presented their "Discours Oratoire" (grades & comments are on PowerSchool), we talked about how to make maple sirup, learned new vocabulary about it and we started chapter 4 of "La créature du marais".

Please check PowerSchool as I am still missing many Chapter 2 assignments. I would like to review it with the class next week.

Next week, we will continue the book and have some conversations about it. We will also have a song as it is "Le mois de la Francophonie" and we will work on French sounds and calligraphy.

A spelling bee contest has been announced. If students want to participate, here is the list of words for the "Concours d'épellation". The classroom final will be during the week of March 9th, and the school final will be on March 17th.

Math
We will have a quiz on fractions this Tuesday. You can prepare by reviewing your previous homework and the work done in class. Next week, we will start learning about decimal numbers. We will represent decimal numbers in place value tables, developed form, written form and pictorially. Here is the homework for next week.


Science
This week, we worked on making sugar crystals. Next week, the students will be challenged to make one bigger than the original one by changing some variables. They will individually write a scientific process with all the steps and I will evaluate it.

ELA
Students finished their presentations.  Grades are up in PowerSchool.  Here is the rubric for the presentations:  Presentation Rubric
Students that did not complete their persuasive paragraph in class today, need to do it for home work.

Social Studies
We finished the Arctic region.  The test will be on March 12th.  Here is the study guide : guide d'études.  Students are currently working on comparing different (or similar) point of views from people living in Nunavut and us living in Calgary.  Here are the instructions and the rubric : Instructions et grille d'évaluation.  We will have more time next week to work on that.  Here are some links of videos that we have seen in class for the comparison worksheet, as well as links that could be helpful in their research : Liens internet.
