March 6

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.
