Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!

Today in Math we solved the last part of our reading question that we started earlier this week. 

Please ask me about what strategy I used to figure out the answer. As a class, we approached solving the problem from a few different ways, and it was a great discussion to see what worked well for each of us.

AGENDA

1. Science at home: Can you find examples of the 5 properties of fluids at home? 

Explore and come ready to share tomorrow. (Thursday)

2. Ma fête extraordinaire! - We started writing our drafts today. Any remaining details should be added to our plans/outlines for tomorrow (Thursday)

3. Français - Je lis daily reading

4. CFOO #3 - Recherche: Tuesday, January 19

(Reminder: CFOO is a presentation activity, so students should be practicing their presentation (reading their text aloud) so that they are able to confidently present their text to the class.)

Happy Monday!

Hello! Happy Monday!

This morning in Math, we worked in group to solve the first two parts of the following word problem.

Please ask me about my calculation strategies. What can I do well and what are some skills I need to review?

1. Math: Work on NetMaths books assigned in class on Friday if you have a chance.

Friday!

Hello, families! Already the first school week of 2021 under our belts! Wow!

Today in class, we continued establishing our new daily grammar routine by reviewing the verb Être. 

Then, in a Science, we explored the question, can you blow out a candle if there is a bottle placed in front of it. We had a chance to discuss our predictions in partners before watching a video to find the answer. (COVID is currently making it tricky to complete these types demonstrations in class! VIDEO HERE.)

We made many great observations that the outcome of the experiment would depend on: the size of the bottle/container, the distance between the candle, bottle and person blowing air, and the force/speed at which the air is moving. With permission to use a candle at home and ensuring we are being safe, we can explore many of these factors to see if we can replicate the results.

We ended the morning in Math, and used the laptops to explore two new "Plan cartésien" books in NetMaths. They have not been officially assigned as homework, but we are welcome to work on them over the weekend if we would like.

Wishing you all a great weekend, with time spent outside enjoying this beautiful weather! :)

AGENDA

1. Science + Math: Try out the candle and bottle experiment shown in class today and work on NetMaths books if you have a chance,

2. Time to start French home reading again! If you've been out of routine over the break, today is a great day to login to Je lis and get started again!

3. Time for a bit of organization! This week, students have been asked to take a look at their binders and their supply boxes to see what sort of state they are in. They have also been asked to check their supplies. Do they need more pencils? Pens? Did they even get dividers put into their binder? Can they finally bring in a Hilroy scribbler for Math? Please check in with your child to make sure they are set for a great second term!

Thursday!

Hello, learning friends! Happy Thursday!

Today, we had our Math class in the gym and were tasked with solving the following question:

How Many 7’s

If you write out the numbers from 1 to 1000, how many times will you write the number 7?

We all approached the question with different strategies, and many of us were able to solve it and move onto to extension of 1-10 000! Bravo!

For Français, Mme read us the book L'anniversaire by Robert Munsch and then we had the chance to start planning our own over-the-top party. You should hear some of the extravagant ideas we have! Our goal today was to write out our party plan in point form, and next week we will begin taking our ideas and writing them in sentence/paragraph form. Stay tuned!

It's great to be back!

Hello, learning friends! Happy New Year!

It's great to be back! We were full of energy, smiles and great winter-break stories this morning and were happy to see our classmates once again.

This morning we did a "Trouve quelqu'un qui" bingo-type activity which allowed us to move around the room and ask questions (in French) to our classroom friends.

Mme then read us the story Rouge by Michael Hall.

Our final activity for the morning was an interview with a classmate. We started by asking each other a list of questions, "What is your least favourite colour," "What is your favourite food," etc. Mme then surprised us by turning our answers into a silly Mad-Lib story. We had a lot of fun reading the stories to our partners and laughed a lot at some of the answers! Please ask me about my silly-story interview: 

What colour is my hair? How much of my least favourite food do I eat everyday?

Wishing you a great week!
