Hi All,
Students have completed presenting their speeches this past week. We had two students move on to the school competition, where they did a great job representing our class! In math, we are continuing with our measurement unit. We are still working on converting measurements involving centimetres, metres, and kilometres, but we are also introducing perimeter, area, and volume as well. Students will be conducting hands-on activities in math this week, ideally outside if the weather permits it. In French, we are continuing with our "Au restaurant" unit. Students will be receiving a rubric and outline for their "French Menu" assignment on Tuesday. Students are encouraged to continue practicing their French at home, incorporating new words and phrases we have studied in class. In Social Studies, we will be learning about the War of 1812 this week, and continue to examine the positive and negative effects of interactions between First Nation groups and early European explorers.
As we've had a good dumping of snow the past few days, we will begin constructing our outdoor survival structure, a quincy. We've been reading a lot of books that deal with the outdoors and survival, and I promised the students we would try and build one once we had enough snow. If it's at all possible, we are hoping some students can bring in a snowshovel, preferably plastic, that we can use to speed up the building process. We'll be working on this throughout the week, depending on the weather.
À la prochaine,
Mr. Lang
