Bonjour tout le monde!

We have been rather busy in our class for the last couple of weeks. Here is an update on some of the things that we have been doing.

Language: As you are aware we have finished reading My Mother's Secret. The students have worked on book reports as well as Movie Posters. The author J.L. 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!

As always, please do not hesitate to contact me, whether it is by emailing me at mlleibrahim4@gmail.com or by calling the school. 

Thank you so much for your continuous support,
