Chers families de division 6,
This week in French, students are continuing to read a play altogether entitled "Le petit chaperon vert" (Little Green Riding Hood). In preparation for third term report cards, students will read individually with their teacher this week and next, in order to assess their reading fluency and comprehension. During this time, students will select a book of their choice to create a book report. This report includes comprehension questions that require full sentence answers, such as where and when the story takes place, who the main and secondary characters are, what type of story it is and a description of the main problem and solution.
In English this week, students are practicing for their last spelling test, which will be on Thursday. Students are also finishing their plot diagram of Stuart Little. In Math this week, students are learning how to sort and describe 3 dimensional (3-D) shapes using faces (les faces), edges (le arêtes) and vertices (les sommets). This will also include the building of 3-D shapes using paper nets and glue.
In Science this week, students are continuing to build their chosen 3-D landforms using play dough (for example, an island, lake, mountain, river, dunes, etc). They are displaying them inside a recycled plastic CD case. The cover will have a written description in a question format, with the landform name (answer) on the inside cover, beside the landform. In Social Studies, students are each bringing their family cultural artifact and sharing it with the class in a Show and Tell format. So far today, we had three students share postcards, photographs, a passport and dolls from Ethiopia, Britain and Guatemala! We are very excited to see many of these artifacts also on display this Friday, June 9th, in the gym from 1:00-2:30pm. Families are welcome to come join us for a whole-school multi-cultural event that includes flags, food and fun!
In PE this week, students are continuing to develop their tennis skills, and will also continue with indoor and outdoor soccer. In Music, students are rehearsing their concert performance on Monday and Tuesday. Quadra families and friends are invited to come watch one of two identical performances on either Wednesday June 7, or Thursday June 8 from 1:00-2:30 in the gym. We hope you can come see this unique Canada 150 multicultural celebration concert.
This is the last weekly blog post for this school year. Next week we will complete any unfinished activities and projects, followed by a review of Term 3 French, English and Math topics with some tests, quizzes and discussions.
Have a wonderful week everyone,
Mme Garcin
