ELA:
The students have been writing 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 totem pole for the classroom.
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 begun our unit on long division. 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
