Hello learning friends!
Mme Gonzales asked me to post some important information for an upcoming Sc.hum assessment.
Please read below for everything you need to know! :)
Here is a study guide for the formal evaluation that students will be writing on Thursday, March 15th. We watched a short video and listened to a radio program that helped students to better understand an important piece of our history. Students could re-watch or listen to the two programs to help study for the test. Below those links are the two questions that will be on the test. I will be removing the notes we took together from the wall on the day of the test. Students will be able to bring and use their study notes to help them the day of the test.
* CBC video documentary: Chinese Immigrants Not Welcome Anymore
A short documentary talking about the hardships faced by the Chinese immigrants.

* CBC Radio program: Glenbow Museum Controversy
A radio program talking about the Canadian Pacific railway exhibit at the Glenbow Museum and their lack of attention paid to the Chinese immigrant workers.

1. Pourquoi est-ce que l'exposition du chemin de fer au musée Glenbow est un sujet de discussion au Canada? Pourquoi est-ce que l'exposition à causer des disputes? Écrivez tout ce que vous savez pour démontrer vos connaissances.
2. Complétez la feuille d'OREO avec tes idées soit en phrases ou avec des idées brèves (point form) pour la question suivante:
Pourquoi faut-il se souvenir des travailleurs chinois qui ont construits le chemin de fer au Canada?

Happy Friday!
We were busy at work this morning in both Français and Science.
In Français, we got to work on our "Qui suis-je" haiku poems, based on someone or something from the book Le chandail de hockey. After brainstorming, we wrote our rough draft and started making revisions. We need to make sure we respect the 5 - 7 - 5 syllable pattern. Our next steps on Monday will be to continue reading our own poem and then conferencing and revising our work with a least 2 friends before doing a final spelling/grammar check online. Our final draft will be typed up in Keynote, where we will have a chance to choose colours and images to represent our haiku. Our work will be on display for you to see next Wednesday at conferences.
We can't wait for you to "guess who" with our haiku!
In Science, we started designing our own experiment as part of our Tomatosphere Extension activity. Working independently or with a partner, we need to identify an independent variable we would like to test and then design an experiment in order to test it. We do not have to carry the experiment through to the end; we are responsible to design the first 4 steps: "But," "Hypothèse," "Matériaux" and "Méthode."
We need to make sure our steps are specific and written clearly to ensure everyone who follows them will be able to complete the experiment successfully.
We will have 2 more work periods next week before handing in our experiments to Mme.
*****
Agenda items:
1. CFOO #9 "Créativité" - Thursday, March 15
2. March Scholastic orders - due Thursday, March 15
3. Haiku (FC) and Experiment design (SC) - to be worked on in class and completed by Wednesday, March 14.
4. All missing/incomplete tasks are now past due. Students will be asked to come in over the noon hour next week to work to ensure they are up to date by the end of Term 2. This includes students who may have missed an assessment or task due to being away.
Have a great weekend!

Wednesday!
Happy Wednesday!
We were happy to welcome Mme Page to our Math classroom today. She had us doing a Math question about Chicken McNuggets! Who knew Math could be found when we're going ordering a meal?
In Science, we started graphing our Tomatosphere results and learned how we can represent 2 sets of data on the same graph by using a legend. We are also continuing our discussion about independent and dependant variables and how it is important to ensure they are properly placed on the axes when graphing. We will use this information when starting our Design Process assignment later this week.

Agenda items:
1. PEDMAS assessment - tomorrow (Thursday)
2. CFOO #9 "Créativité" - Thursday, March 15
3. March Scholastic orders due - Thursday, March 15
Have a great afternoon!
Enjoy the sunshine! :)

Tuesday!
Hello everyone!
Today at school we worked on mental math strategies and problem-solving. We read with a partner and wrote two haiku poems. We practiced out graphing skills and began to analyze the data from our Tomatosphere experiment. We are working hard all the way through to the end of Term 2!
*****
Agenda items:
1. PEDMAS assessment - Thursday.
2. Next chance (and one of the last) to catch up on missing work: Friday at 12:15.
Have a great afternoon! :)

A Snowy Monday!
The weather outside was snowy, but inside we were warm and cozy and busy learning!
In Math, we worked in randomized groups of 2 and challenged ourselves with "les grattes-ciels."
In Français, we took some time to read, finish off our Le chandail de hockey resumés and comprehension questions and watch an episode of ONIVA.
We will jump back into our regular routine tomorrow when we welcome back the rest of our classroom friends!

Have a Great Weekend!
We worked very hard on our Science assessments this mornings and also took some time to work through 2 different Math word problems using the order of operations as our strategy. Students also had a chance to work through the list of overdue work, with many students now coming one step closer to being
caught up in all three subjects!
The coming two weeks will keep us just as busy as we continue with: graphing and experimental variables in Science, PEDMAS and problem-solving in Math and reading and a fun haiku-writing activity in Français.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
*****
Agenda items:
1. PEDMAS assessment - next week (likely Wednesday).
2. Overdue learning tasks - as the end of Term 3 approaches, it is now time for students who have unfinished tasks to come in over the noon hour to finish up their work. Some of the items include: Science arthropod research revisions, "ma résolution" sentences, Le chandail de hockey résumé and Le chandail de hockey video questions.
Please check-in with your child to ensure they are staying up-to-date with their work! Thanks!
