Hello
parents, it is hard to believe, but we are nearing the end of yet another
school year. Here is what we have been
studying in 5-22:
ELA:
The students
continued to work on their newspaper article.
They will now type them on the computer.
FLA:
The students
attended the movie Zarafa and wrote a report on the movie. They have also been working on grammar and
the novel Babouche est jalouse.
Arts:
The students
painted a picture of a Seigneurie in Nouvelle-France while following certain
criteria. They also created an art
project representing equivalent fractions.
Math:
They have
continued to work on problem solving. Please practice basic facts with your child as
it becomes difficult to complete problem solving if the basic facts are
unknown. The class has continued to study equivalent fractions as well as
decimal numbers
Sciences
humaines:
The
students have begun looking at the Hudson Bay Company and their expansion in
North America during the 18th century as well as their competition
with the North West Company. As a class,
we also begun to look at the animals, which were used during the Fur Trade.
Sciences
de la nature:
We
have been studying solids, liquids and gas.
We have looked at their properties (all matter has a mass and
volume). We have also studied different
interactions between different substances so as to identify what those
substances are.
Hygiene:
We
have continued to study teeth. M.
Senecal has also come into the class to begin teaching Family Life.
We
will be going to the Winnipeg International Storytelling Festival at Fort
Gibraltar on May 10th. The
fundamental objectives of the festival are human rights and respect for the
individual.

Student
contribution by Lauren and Hannah:
These
are some of the things we did this month.
We just finished our Spring play.
Our reward was some yummy flower cake.
In the gym, the Divisional choir came and sang for the school. In Math, we are learning fractions and
decimal numbers. In French we are
reading a book called Babouche est jalouse.
In English we are writing our own newspaper article.
