It is always such a pleasure to share with you all your children’s successes during learning conferences. Your children and I appreciate your continued support as we head into the final term of the school year.
If you have not yet returned your child’s signed report card envelope, please do as sometime this week, so that we can recycle them for June.
On Thursday, March 30, we will will head to the Confederation Centre to see the Colonel Gray production of “Newsies” which our students in grades 4-9 will be taking in together. Please return the signed form and the $12 fee as soon as possible if you have not done so already. We will leave the school around 9 and will return for lunch.
Now here is what will be happening during our classes together….
French-This week students will finish and present “The Great Book Debate.” Similar to “Canada Reads” students will participate in an event to defend their book and promote it to their peers. We will also continue our read aloud called “Noémie: Le secret de Mme Lumbago and our oral language warm ups. Finally, we will begin our second unit in our learning resource #LaClasse, where we will look at the work of a journalist.
Science-During the next few classes we will continue our look at rocks and mineral and the work of a geologist.
Grade 9 Science-We are nearing the end of our first section of biology. This week students will discuss the differences between cells, tissues, organs and systems and begin their review of the concepts covered in chapter 1 in preparation for their assessment on those outcomes.
Grade 7 Science-Now that students have a good understanding of the parts and functions of the cell, we will move our focus this week into reproduction. We will begin looking at the general similarities and differences between asexual and sexual reproduction, before exploring each in more detail.
Grade 9 English Science-This week we will wrap up our look into the chemistry outcomes of this course. Students will begin preparations for their unit assessment which will take place later on this week or early next. Review materials can be found in Google Classroom.
Have a marvelous Monday and a great week ahead!
