Homework

Good afternoon,

I will be sending home the student's Design Process to complete at home.  They were given several periods to complete this.  It will be due on or before Wednesday.  They are to plan a menu for 3 days (3 meals and 2 snacks).  Each main meal must contain at least 3 of the 4 food groups.  They are also to put the portions according to their age (this is in their booklet).  If they need help finding the vocabulary, they may use the following website:

http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/alt_formats/hpfb-dgpsa/pdf/food-guide-aliment/view_eatwell_vue_bienmang-fra.pdf

If it is not done before the end of the week, they will miss out on free time during the last period on Thursday to complete it.

As always, please let me know if have any questions.

January Newsletter


 ELA:
The students have continued to work on Daily 5 in order to improve their reading and writing skills.  We have also been working on Sadako.  The students researched and presented a topic of their choice.

Sciences humaines:
During Social Studies, the students been preparing for the next unit, which will look at the relations between the Aboriginals and the Europeans upon their arrival to North America.  They are now researching a famous explorer.

Sciences de la nature:
During Science, we have been looking at food labels and how to choose healthy food.  We have also looked at the 4 food groups and discussed what a portion is.



Français:
In French, the students have been studying the verbs in present tense.  They finished writing their Aboriginal story. They have also been writing their speeches.  We have discussed how to write an introduction as well as the body paragraphs.

Math:
We did a review of basic multiplication with the help of games to prepare them for long multiplication.  We have also been looking at different strategies for long multiplication, for example:
62x9 = (9x60) = (9x2) = 558


Thanks to all our patrols for working hard even in the cold winter weather!!

Another big thanks to all the parents who came with us to the Christmas Cheer Board. This was a worthwhile excursion and the students really felt good about their hard work after we were done!
