While I could have never imaged that we would be entering into yet another week of remote learning, here we are and I once again want to reiterate how wonderful your children have been handling our new normal. The moving is most definitely moving forward and I am so pleased with their continued engagement. I know we are all getting tired, and so as we keep trudging through this storm so to speak, please remember to give yourselves some grace.

Remember to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We got this Gulf Shore!

Now here is a snapshot into our learning for this week…

French- Moving through our unit on travel in #LaClasse, students will take another step towards their final project of a travel journal as this week we discuss vocabulary related to lodging and write some retells of some misadventures we may have had on our travels.
I continue to read “Mamie Gangster” a few times a week, and students are engaging in discussions about this interesting grandmothers and all her adventures to steal the crown jewels with her grandson Ben.

Finally, just as we do in the classroom, we will continue to each Google Meet with our warm-up where students have the opportunity to converse en français.

Science-Over the next few days we will wrap up our study of human reproduction (Chapter 4). On Friday, students will write a quick Google Forms assessment on these concepts. This means that many of our classes this week will be spent reviewing the outcomes of this sections through interactive games and activities.

Grade 9 Science-With our assessment on Chapter 7 now behind us, we will look into our last section of our “univers matériel” before we head into our biology section. This last chapter will focus on both pressure and waves.

Grade 7 Science-Our look into ecosystems will end this week as we finish up chapter 3 with a deeper discussion into adaptations and how different species use them to survive. We will then begin our review in preparations for a short Google Form quiz on Wednesday.

Grade 9 English Science-The focus during our online classes these next few days will be exploring chemical and physical changes in matter and why they occur. Students will even get to do some virtual lab activities where they will “hunt” for these kinds of changes around home.

Have a wonderful week! Stay safe and healthy everyone 🙂
