Newsletter
ELA:
The students
have been discussing Persuasive writing texts in hopes of convincing Hershey’s
to become part of the Fair Trade Organization.
They continue to practice their words.
Their next step is to work on their editing skills using their weekly
TWAS.
Sciences humaines:
The students
have been looking at different explorers and Vikings and as well as the
countries who financed the expeditions.
The students completed a small research project on a Viking or explorer
of their choice. We also discussed the
relationship between the Aboriginals and the Europeans once they established a
colony in North America.
Sciences de la nature and Hygiène:
The students
have almost completed part of the unit Maintaining a Healthy Body. The students are now looking at the different
systems (for example, the digestive system).
Arts plastiques:
The students
created a Seigneurie to represent New France.
Français:
The students
have spent most of their time writing a speech for the concours d’art oratoire
this month. As a class, we started off exploring different ideas for their
speech. Students heard examples of speeches and we identified the structures of
these speeches. Finally each student wrote a minimum of 2 minutes.
Math:
We have almost
finished long multiplication. We also
continued to work on problem solving and mental math strategies. They completed
a problem involving the fur trade to go along with Festival du Voyageur week
