Witterick came to visit and she was impressed by the students and all of their work. We will continue working on Narrative writing as well as improving sentence structure (ie: run- on sentences).

Language (contd...): Students should have the weekly English spelling words in their agendas. However, here is the link in case it was misplaced: http://www.supereasystorytelling.com/docs/SuperEasyStorytellingAdjectives.pdf

Mathematics: Students have completed their Math Projects for Chapter 2. We are starting Chapter 3 which is Graphing. Please visit the "Helpful Stuff " tab for some new Math websites.

French: We have been working on irregular French Verbs (ie: vouloir, pouvoir, savoir, devoir, dire, lire, conduire, écrire, sortir, dormir, partir) as well as reading and answering questions using complete sentences. Students will be having a French test on irregular verbs next Thursday December 4th. Format of the test to follow.

Social-Studies: We are currently working on "The spiritual practices of the First Nations". Students are working in groups and are to hand in their work on Tuesday December 8th. They are working on this in class, however you may see the project requirements in their Social-Studies folder.

Cookie Dough Fundraiser is due Monday, December 1st. Please help support our school!

Bonjour!

I know it has been a while. It's an extremely busy time of year and we've been doing a lot of work.

I wanted to update you on a few things that we have been working on in our classroom.

In Language we have been learning about Narrative writing. Students will be developing their own narrative stories towards the end of November.
We have also been reading a book by J.L. Witterick called "My mother's secret". It is a GREAT book, and we are all really into it. It's about events that occurred during the Holocaust, so we are learning a lot about World War II. 

We will also be starting a weekly spelling test in Language. I am attaching a link to the list. I have also attached the list in the students' agenda. Their first spelling test will be on the first 10 words on Nov. 7th. http://www.supereasystorytelling.com/docs/SuperEasyStorytellingAdjectives.pdf

Scarecrow: This week we are also building a scarecrow for Halloween! If you have any supplies to help us make our scarecrow, please bring them in.
Things you can bring in:
                            - pillowcases
                            - pantyhose
                            - buttons
                            - tights
                            - shredded paper
                            - old clothing 

As always if you have any questions, you know where to find me. :) 

C'est mardi le 30 septembre 2014.

                Lesson 2 - Relationship Rules for Patterns
                Lesson 3 - Variables in Expressions

Downsview!!!!

We had such a great time when we went to Downsview park in April! Check out what some of our very own had to say about it. 

 "I was shocked when I actually saw a real hawk" - Jadiha 

"My trip to Downsview park was fantastic!!! The best part was in the morning when we played games. They were good activities to learn about co-operation and they were really fun." -Sarah

"We had an amazing time at Downsview Park... We found out that Downsview Park used to be a military park where they made planes. Downsview Park is an amazing place for trips, a family or someone looking for the best nature experience of their lives." - Kathryn


"Downsview Park was the best trip ever! We went bird-watching, we saw a killdeer, a hawk and flock of birds." - Elijah
 "On our trip we learned a lot of cool and interesting facts. We especially learned about birds, habitats and nature." - Keyanna

Bonjour!!!! 

Just wanted to update all of you on a few things. On Friday February 21st we had a very exciting day, we had a few teachers come visit our classroom during a Guided reading lesson and the students were absolutely wonderful! We will be doing lecture guidée about 4 times a week. Lecture guidée allows students to practice reading strategies in small groups with me, as well as work in their groups to practice acquired skills. 

Also, on Friday we had a visitor from the National Ballet who came to teach our students about ballet! They definitely got active :) 

Today, Monday, February 24th we worked on our Math projects that will end off our Measurement unit. Students will be presenting their projects tomorrow. 

Here are some pictures of some of the Ballet that the students did. 

As always do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. 

Mlle. Ibrahim

I am back :) I have definitely missed every single one of you greatly! 

Tomorrow is the big day!!!! 

We are fully starting our lecture guidée tomorrow! The students and I are very excited about it! 

Today we discussed Les textes informatifs. 
Here is some important vocabulary that is related to les textes informatifs that I would like the students to review and familiarize themselves with for tomorrow! 

Le texte informatif.

Qu’est-ce que c’est un texte informatif?
Un texte informatif fournit des informations précises sur un sujet.
Tu peux lire un texte informatif si tu veux apprendre quelque chose de nouveau.
L’auteur du texte informatif présente des faits mais il ne donne pas son opinion personnelle.

L’intérieur du livre
Dans les textes informatifs, on trouve :
1) Les paragraphes
2) Les illustrations
3) Les photos
4) Les cartes
5) Les schémas
6) Les titres
7) Les sous-titres
8) Les différents caractères (le gras et l’italique)
9) La table des matières- une liste que te permets de voir rapidement les thèmes du livre et les numéros de pages où ils se trouvent.
10) Le glossaire – un petit dictionnaire qui te donne la définition des mots important du texte. Les mots sont mis dans l’ordre alphabétique.
11) L’index – une liste alphabétique des thèmes du livre. Il permet de trouver rapidement l’information qu’on cherche. 

C'est mardi le 18 février 2014.
