Bonjour,

Devoirs:

Maths: Finish questions on pink handout relating to prime & composite numbers (6,9,10,11) and questions that were due today if you didn't finish those. Also, please memorize all prime numbers between one and twenty.

Sciences: Test tomorrow. Make sure to review. Also, science project (powerpoint) is due November 16th. There will be more time given in class but it will be necessary to also do some work at home as this date is quickly approaching. ** Save work to GAFE account so that you can access it from school and from home to make changes **

Bonjour,

Great to see everyone put in a good effort in squash today! Next play time is November 15th where we can solidify new skills learned and start to gain confidence in play.

Devoirs:

Maths: Please complete questions from today's handout for Thursday if you were not able to finish in class (#1a,c,f,h; #,2, #5, #7, #8). If you are stuck...read the question carefully, check back to the notes we took in class with examples, check the sample question for #1 we did in class today, check the summary of what prime and composite number are from today's handout (section above question 1).

Anglais: Still missing a few poems. Please hand them in asap!

Fral: "A vos dictionnaires" and "L'ordinateur et l'éléphan" due Wednesday for M d'Entremont

Just wanted to remind everyone to wear clothing that will keep you warm and dry tomorrow on our walk to Cedar Hill Rec Center for squash. Also, make sure you have PE shoes (runners/cross trainers) for playing.

A demain,

jeudi le 27 octobre 2016

Bonjour,

Reminder that students can bring items for the food drive until Monday.

Squash update: Our finalized dates for squash are November 1st, 15th and December 7th. We need a parent chaperone for the 15th ( Tues)  and the 7th (Wed.) Please email me if you can do either of these dates.

Devoirs:

Maths: Students need to finish questions 2-4 on prime & composite numbers as well as the "allez plus loin". Some students are taking the division re-test on Monday. Please review carefully on the weekend keeping in mind the suggestions/tips I've given you today (e.g. subtraction issues, making sure you didn't miss any groups when doing your initial calculation which will be apparent if you subtract and the answer is bigger than your divisor...)

Fral: Invent your own lines for the poem and illustrate (due tomorrow)

Sciences: Make sure you understood the handout from Wed. on Canada's contributions to space exploration and choose a project that you would like to do (there is a list of about 8 options).

A lundi,

Mme Couture

PS- Halloween costume competition on Monday...also, please bring PE strip!!!

mardi le 25 octobre 2016

Bonjour,

Important info for parents: Squash was canceled tomorrow because of a scheduling conflict at Cedar Hill Rec. We are rescheduling for November 15th. We also need to change the November 16th date because it falls on CC days so there is early dismissal. As soon as I have the final date I will send out an email to parents. Our current confirmed dates are:

Tuesday Nov. 1st
Tuesday Nov. 15th
Final date TBD

Devoirs:

Maths: We began prime and composite numbers today. Students were given several examples and some vocabulary definitions. There is also an explanation on the pink handout they received. I have asked students to complete questions 1-3 on the first page of the handout (we did an example of each question to help clarify what needs to be done).


Anglais: Students who are not yet finished their final two poems now need to complete them at home (they were due today). We began some descriptive writing and I have asked students to transform four different sentences given in class (most finished the first three during class). It would be great if students would do two versions of each sentence (add descriptive words) to show the kind of difference adding precise/descriptive words can make to a sentence.


Don't forget about the food drive : )

A jeudi,

Mme Couture

Bonjour,

Reminder to bring non perishable food items to donate to the mustard seed food drive (happening all this week).

Immunizations were today so some students might be experiencing a sore arm/shoulder.

Squash is this Wednesday...still missing a few permission forms!

Devoirs:

Anglais: Good copy of final two poems are due (choice of two different poems from the styles described on the orange handout from a couple of weeks ago---not the cinquain or diamond poems). If you can't finish both good copies in the one block we have tomorrow make sure you work on them at home tonight. A few students are still not finished the draft of their poems...if that is you, make sure you get caught up tonight and maybe stay in at lunch tomorrow in the library to work on them.

SURVEY: A survey went home today asking how students get to and from school (from Saanich). This is in order to potentially improve services for students in terms of city planning. First class to get all the surveys in wins a prize!

PE: Bring PE strip tomorrow for gym class

Photo retakes tomorrow afternoon!


A demain,

Mme Couture

Bonjour,

No school tomorrow!

Remember to bring non perishable food items (if you are able) for the Mustard Seed food drive this month. Donations collected during advisory every day.

Devoirs:

Maths: Division quiz on Monday. Make sure to complete BOTH sides of the review sheet from today if you didn't finish in class (most students still have a couple of questions to do). If you DID finish but are not feeling like you are ready to ace the test, make up a couple of questions a day to maintain understanding/confidence/accuracy.

Anglais: Good copy of final two poems due Tuesday. Most students are on their final good copy but a few still need to finish one or both drafts. If the latter applies to you, be prepared to show me your COMPLETED drafts (nothing missing) during Advisory on Monday.

Have a great long weekend!

A lundi,

Mme Couture
