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.

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. :)

Salut!

Today the students performed a song that they've been working on for the last few weeks. They did such an AMAZING job! I am extremely proud of them. I have uploaded the link on YouTube for those of you that were not able to make it:

MATH: I am sure that the students have mentioned to you that we will be having a Math Test this Friday October 3rd. The Math test will be on Chapter 1.

Grade 6 - Lesson 1 - Writing Pattern Rules 
                Lesson 2 - Relationship Rules for Patterns
                Lesson 3 - Variables in Expressions 
                Lesson 7 - Equal Expressions (This will be taught on Wednesday October 1st) 

Grade 5 - Lesson 1 - 2-D Patterns 
                Lesson 2 - Patterns in Tables
                Lesson 3 - Solve Problems using Patterns 
                Lesson 4 - 3-D Patterns

LANGUAGE: We have been working on Sentence Structures, specifically how to avoid fragments and run-on sentences. It is essential that students know how to write strong sentences before we can move onto writing paragraphs, which will be our next step.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with your questions.

Thanks,
