I hope that everyone had a restful and relaxing “staycation” and got to enjoy the beautiful weather we’ve been having these past few days. It sounds like we are in for a beautiful and warm week 🙂 Despite all that the last year has brought, we are so lucky to live in such an amazing place like P.E.I.

This is our last full week of the month of March and we will be busy wrapping up assessments in preparation for our learning reports, which will be sent home before the Easter long weekend.

Here is a sampling of what we will be up to during our time together this week…..

French-This week we will dive back into our unit on interviews. Students will return to creating their interview questions and they will conduct their interviews in the next few days. We will also jump back into some oral language activities to help us meet our learning goals, specifically around using two verbs in sequence. Mme Sophie, our French language monitor, also has some activities planned to help us celebrate French week.

Science-This week students will wrap up their learning stations on Space. We will continue to explore topics including the planets, meteors, comets and the northern lights right. They will then begin to prepare for their assessment on these outcomes as well as for an oral presentation on a space mission and its discoveries.

Grade 9 Science-Tomorrow we will wrap up the beginning chapter of our biology unit, as we discuss the differences between cells, tissues, organs and systems and take a first look at the body systems we will be studying over the next few months. Students will then begin to prepare for their assessment on these concepts, which will take place on Day 4 (next Monday).

Grade 7 Science-Before the break, students were introduced to the differences between sexual and asexual reproduction. This week, we will look at how plants reproduce in both these ways. Starting with 4 forms of asexual reproduction and then moving towards sexual reproduction as we study flowering plants.

Grade 5-9 Core French-In Grades 5-6, students will wrap up their dance routine videos and begin to create and play a board game combining their knowledge of directions from the past few months. In Grades 7-9, students will learn prepositions in French, so they can work to help a friend find a lost object, giving suggestions as to where the object may be.

Have a marvelous Monday and a great week ahead!
