Week of Feb 6 - 9, 2017

lundi le 6 février, 2017

This week in French, students are focusing on writing a rough draft of a story that illustrates the prints they created in art a few weeks ago. They are asked to use reference materials, use words they know from dictées, use the past and/or present verb tenses, and apply grammar and punctuation learned so far. The story structure includes an introduction with the when, who and where. Followed by a problem, solution and an ending.

In English, students are studying for their spelling test on Thursday. In Math, students are reviewing their X and  ÷  fact families of single digit multiplication and division using power of ten cards, bingo and a worksheet. If time permits, they will create their own graph based on a topic of personal interest and by doing a class survey.

In Science, students are continuing to learn about habitats, food chains and food webs. Today students researched a list of plants and animals and their associated habitats. In preparation for the creation of a habitat diorama, they are also bringing in craft materials and a shoebox. In combination with Social Studies and Art, students are completing their stone Inukshuks. This artwork and their Chinese lanterns will be coming home at the end of the week.

In PE, students have their weekly dance class where they are creating their own dance! They will also be participating in movement activities in the classroom and some fun outdoor snow play:) Please note, there is no school on Friday, Feb 10th and Monday, Feb 13th.

I wish you all a wonderful week and family weekend ahead,
