The Last Friday of School for 2020!

Hello, learning friends! Happy Friday!

The time has flown by and our last morning together before winter break sped by in a flash!

In Math, we started with a special two-part esti-mystère (that we all solved remarkably fast!) before moving on to a challenging mystery coordinate picture. The only hint we got was "GRRRR" and Mme certainly didn't help us by announcing a different (and misleading) hint every couple of minutes!

We persevered and soon discovered the mystery picture was of the Grinch!

We were then treated to story of the Grinch himself.

After our morning break, we did a listening activity with the song Petit Papa Noël as sung by Raffi. We then geared up for the "Grinchématiques Challenge" and spent the rest of the morning solving short Math questions all themed around the Grinch. (This activity went by so quickly, Mme didn't even get a single picture!)

BRAVO à tous and MERCI to all for a great morning! :)

❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆

Wishing you all a very safe, wonderful and restful winter break.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!

Joyeux Noël! Meilleurs voeux!

La matinée de la neige!

Hello, learning families! Happy snowy Tuesday!  

This morning we had a "snow morning" - a morning of learning all themed around snow!

We started in Math with a snow-themed esti-mystère and a secret Brrr-y coordinate picture.

We then worked on a snow-themed reading comprehension and listened to two snow-themed stories.

We ended the morning with a snowflake art and writing activity. A special thanks to Mme McKenzie for stopping by to share her snowflake expertise; she helped us create such beautiful, wintery creations! ❄

Friday!

Hello families!

This morning in Math we took a field trip to the gym to work on a special holiday problem.

Working in randomized groups of three, we were given a price list and were tasked with calculating the cost of the 12 days of Christmas!

We all worked well in our groups and tackled the problem using a variety of different strategies and learned that gifting the 12 days of Christmas isn't cheap!

For the rest of the morning, we worked on a variety of items including: writing the good copy of our "La paix" poems, writing our own "12 Days of Christmas" list (after listening to Mme read Pat le Chat Les 12 jours de Noël) and finishing some "les coordonnées" work in Math, including drawing a mystery Math holiday picture!

We are working hard (with lots of excitement) and are enjoying our time together at school.

Wishing you all a great weekend! :)

Meanwhile, while awaiting our turn to replant our plants, we wrote Tomato Haiku!

Tuesday Agenda Items (plus a cookie recipe!)

Hello, learning friends!

Today in class, working in small groups, we had a chance to study "the best" chocolate cookie recipe. We noticed what made the recipe easy to follow: things like having the steps numbered and in order, having each step clearly explained and having ingredients with specific quantities. We then took a look at different versions of the same recipe and re-noticed how really important those things are. We will keep these items in mind as we begin planning and designing our Tomatosphere extension experiments this week. (And, here is the recipe we studied, in case a batch of "the best" chocolate chip cookies are in your future.)
