C'est mardi le 15 decembre 2015.

C'est presque ici, la nouvelle année, mais on continue avec de travail.

We have had a very small class over the last couple of days, due to all of the events happening around the school, however we are still trying to sneak some work in.

This morning we worked on Vouloir, pouvoir et devoir. For those of you that were not in the classroom this is the slideshow that we viewed. Please go over it, and make sure you take note of the irregular conjugations. It is a good idea to take notes. http://www.slideserve.com/billie/vouloir-pouvoir-devoir

Please visit the helpful stuff tab to practice the verbs.

Bonjour everyone,
The last week of the 2015 school year is fast approaching, and of course we will be celebrating, and wrapping up some school work!

Geography tests were returned yesterday, please make sure you sign them and send them back to school.

Tomorrow, you will be getting your Progress Reports! There is nothing to worry, or stress about, because there is always time to improve, and grow.
This Friday, we will be going to the ACC to watch the 905 and the Raptors compete. Please bring a Boomerang lunch, or you may bring some money to purchase a lunch from there.  Just keep in mind it may not be the cheapest nor the healthiest option.

December 15^th will be pajama and hot chocolate day!!

On December 17^th, we will have our assembly in the afternoon, and our class is planning to put a video together. Please come join us if you are able to.

Also, on the 17^th we will be having our class party. Students are not allowed to bring any snacks, or treats to share from home. I will be collecting 3 dollars from each student, and I will be buying snacks for the class. Please send the money by Wednesday the 16^th if you would like your child to participate. During our party, we will also have an optional gift exchange. Students interested in participating must buy a gender neutral gift that costs $5.00 + taxes.

On December 18^th, Elizabeth and Tharsha will be teachers for the day, as part of our persuasive writing unit. The students were assigned to write a persuasive piece to convince myself and their classmates as to why they should be teacher for the day. The class voted for these two students, and we are very excited to work with them for the day. 

 Have a great day,
Mlle. Ibrahim

Here are some websites that you can use to practice:
http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/fractions/memory_equivalent1.htm

http://www.mathplayground.com/Triplets/Triplets.html

LE GOUVERNEMENT DU CANADA: In Social Studies we are learning all about the Government of Canada (5), as well as Canada in relation to the world (importation and exportations, 6). You must review your Social Studies folder on a regular basis, even when they do not have homework. 

LANGUAGE: We are learning all about human rights. Students are learning how to successfully respond to comprehension questions using question wording. They are exploring what Lever 4 responses look like.

READING BUDDIES: Every day 4 students  have been working with Ms.Hill's grade 1/2 class and it has been very beneficial for both grades. Students are exploring their roles as leaders and role-models and they are taking it extremely seriously. I am so proud of what they have been accomplishing. 

As the final stretch approaches we are going to continue to work just as hard, and your support is still needed. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns, 

Mlle. Ibrahim

Mercredi le 25 février 2015.

Bonjour ladies and gentlemen,

As mentioned before, it has been an extremely busy couple of weeks and it will continue to be. I cannot believe it is almost MARCH!

On February 20th, we went to the R.O.M and had such a great time. Thank you to all the volunteers that came with us. We could not have done it without you. :)

On March 10th, students will be going to the PAN AM center as well as he Young People's theater to watch Pinocchio. If parents are interested to join us, it is $5.00, and of course we would love to have you!

Concours d'Art Oratoire: This is a great opportunity for students to showcase the French that they have learned over the last couple of years. They have already chosen a topic of interest to them and they are to come up with an interesting presentation that is no less than 1:30. They are to have the presentation memorized, however they are allowed to have cue cards with some notes in case they need a reminder. All students will be presenting to our classroom on Monday, March 2nd. Those who are interested in competing ( I encourage all of them to compete, but of course it is their choice :) ), will be presenting to the Extended French classrooms on Friday, March 6th. Mlle.Hutchinson, Mme.Arul and myself will be judges. We will be choosing two students from grades 4-8 to compete in the Concours d'Art Oratoire on the board level.
Here are a few helpful links that will help you come up with your speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWgPCgUKgWM

BONNE CHANCE :)

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well, and enjoying all the snow. We have had a few very busy weeks in January and it will continue until June. :) There has definitely been a lot of learning happening in room 214.

In language, students are finishing their picture books and after reading all their rough drafts I am truly impressed by their work. I cannot wait to see the final product!

Mathematics - We've started working on Measurement, and we are working on converting meters, kilometers, millimeters, centimeters and decimeters. We will then move onto telling time. EXCITING NEWS: MATH MARDI!!!!! - Every Tuesday during lunch students may stay in for extra help with Math. 

Students have a Social Studies test next Wednesday. All the material that they need to study is in their folder that they will be taking home to study over the weekend. They have all completed presentations and came up with their fact sheets. It is important for them to study these fact sheets (the ones that they made up for their presentations) as I will be taking questions from them. The format of the test will be: fill in the blanks (with a word box), multiple choice questions, and questions (where they will be required to answer them in full sentences).  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_SzDLdN4urcSjhOb2FQTVdJa1k/view?usp=sharing

Parent teacher interviews: Report Cards will be sent home during the week of  February 9th. Interviews  will be held on February 11th and 12th in the evening. I will be requesting to have interviews with certain parents/guardians otherwise they are not a necessity. However, if you would like to request an interview, you are more than welcome to do so.

As you are all aware, we performed a song by One Republic called I lived on December 18th 2014. The students did a phenomenal job. I also recorded the students singing the song and created a video to go with it. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=693yAOHsC4M  ENJOY!!! 

As always, if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me at the school , through the agenda or at mlleibrahim4@gmail.com.

Thank you for your support,
Mlle. Ibrahim

Bonne année!

Happiest of New Years! I hope this year brings all of you much success, joy, love and peace. 

We are back to business in room 214! We have already accomplished a lot in the last few months and we will continue to do so.

Français: Students ended off the year with irregular French verbs. They received their French tests back and were asked to get them signed. We started this year learning about the passé compose (past tense). This is a rather difficult concept for students to understand so we will be spending a lot of time learning it. Here is a link that can help you out: https://www.laits.utexas.edu/tex/gr/tap2.html
Students also wrote their resolutions for the New Year.

Mathematics: We are currently working on Chapter 3 in Mathematics. Students will be having a test on Chapter 3 on Tuesday January 20^th 2015.

Grade 5:
- Evaluating Survey Results.
- Broken Line graph
- Interpreting Circle Graph
- Bar Graph with Intervals
- Pictograph (to be taught)
- Mean and Mode (to be taught)

Grade 6:
- Creating and Analyzing a survey
- Plotting coordinate pairs
- Line graphs
- Scatter Plots (to be taught)
- Mean and Median  (to be taught)

Language: We are continuing Narrative writing. Students were given an assignment where they are to create their own Picture book that they are working on in class.

Social-Studies: We are continuing to work on the First Nations unit. Students did a great job with their presentations and Fact sheets. We are now learning about the European settlers and their impact on our country.

Merci beaucoup, 

Mlle.Ibrahim
