Multiplication Quiz

Good afternoon,

I will be giving the students a quiz in Math tomorrow.  It will cover the multiplication table and long multiplication (2 x 2 digits).  We have been doing Math centres in order to practice.

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

Math Activity

Good afternoon,

We are lucky to have Mme Page who will be working in the school during the month of March. She presented several math games to the class today. Above is an example. Please ask your child to explain the game to you.

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

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:
