Here’s the plan for next week:

**Students must also remember to read in French 20 minutes per day, 4 days a week for their reading program. Reading logs from last week are due on Monday. **

 

Math: We are continuing with our unit on numeration. Students will look at the different ways in which we classify numbers, such as in Venn diagrams. Students should be practicing their numbers in French up to 9999.

 

Religion: Thanksgiving: We will be reflecting on giving thanks to God for all that we have.

 

English: We have one more activity from unit 1 of the “And Who Are You?” textbook. Then we will look at homophones, synonyms and antonyms, which will be continued on to the following week.

 

Science: We will be starting our unit on "Waste in our World" where students will learn about our environment.

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
CCAT assessments will take place on October 24- 26. A letter will be sent home on Monday with more details.

 Scholastic book orders are due on October 6^th.

Sep. 26- 30

Here’s the plan for next week:

French: This week students will compare different French expressions that use the verbs ‘avoir’ and ‘être’. There will be a pre-test on Monday and a final evaluation on Friday. The pre-test does not count; it simply gives us an idea of what the students already know before starting the unit. In addition, students are continuing to work on their cursive writing.

*We will be checking the reading program every Monday morning. Students who read at home for their ‘résumé de lecture’ can include that towards their reading minutes.

Math: We are continuing with our unit on numeration. Students will look at the different ways in which we can represent 4-digit numbers as well as how to arrange and compare them. Students should be practicing their numbers up to 9999.

Social Studies: We are completing our first unit which is an introduction to Canada and Alberta. Students will receive a study sheet on Monday for their evaluation on Friday. They should be bringing their Social Studies duotang home to review each night this week. Don't forget to include their Social Studies reading in the reading program!

English: Students will continue to complete various writing activities from the “And Who Are You?” textbook. We will finish unit 1.

Science: Our main focus is on Social Studies this week, but students can look forward to having their photo taken in our outdoor classroom.

 

To celebrate birthdays, in lieu of students bringing treats to school, we will have a JEU DE SOCIÉTÉ  once a month where students can bring their own games from home to play at school. There are also games in the classroom for them to choose. This Friday afternoon is our first JEU DE SOCIÉTÉ.

 Please note that Friday is picture day J

Here is the plan for next week:

French: We will be learning the verb ' être' in the present tense and expressions that use this verb. There will be a dictée on Friday. Students will receive a study sheet on Monday to help prepare them.

            In addition, we will begin our French reading program at home. Students are required to read out loud in French for 20 minutes a day, four times a week.

Math: Students are finishing the unit on patterns and we will move onto numeration. They should be practicing their numbers from 1- 100 in French.

English: We will be reading various texts as well as completing creative writing activities. In addition, we will look at making predictions before reading stories.

Social Studies: Students will continue to learn about the geography of Alberta.

Science: We will be visiting and weeding the outdoor classroom when the weather permits.
Thank you to the parents who have volunteered to take photos of the students in the outdoor classroom; however, we are still looking for volunteers to take the bottle and paper recycling. Volunteers can alternate with these tasks.

**We will be attending mass at St. Luke's church on Thursday, September 22nd at 10:00 am.

**The Terry Fox run will be held on Friday, September 23rd.
