Class Update

We've been pretty busy in class since the Christmas Break.  Students are busy working on their speeches, which they will be presenting to the class starting next week.  We will select two students to represent our class in the school competition, which occurs on February 6. 

In math class, we have wrapped up our algebra unit and we are starting to work on measurement and unit conversion.

In French, we are working hard on our "Au Restaurant" unit.  Students are busy role-playing and practicing asking and responding to questions as servers, hosts, and patrons.  Ask your student to identify utensils and items found on a kitchen table, and have them ask questions in French.  We are also busy preparing for our French Cafe........ details to follow.

Finally, there have been some e-mail problems and for some reason I'm not receiving some emails that have been sent to me.  If you need to get in touch with me, please call me at the school or send a note with your child, just to ensure I get it. 

Thanks very much,
Mr. Lang

Field Trip Update

Hello Parents,
Just want to let everyone know the money previously paid for the Nordic Highlands trip will be re-applied to a Field Trip to the Ontario Science Centre which will take place in April or May.  Exact costs have yet to be determined, but we will advise parents of prices and possible refunds once we have a confirmed date and price for buses. 

Thanks,
Mr. Lang

Hi All,

Just a quick message to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Break and to say "Thank-You" for all the gifts and cards I've received! A reminder that students have two assignments due early in January. The "Chambre de mes reves" assignment is due January 8th and the Social Studies Inquiry Project is due January 16th. 

Hope everyone has a great Holiday break!!
Mr. Lang

Salut!
I'm away today so the math test will be taking place tomorrow morning, as well as the dictee quiz! Students informed me the same word was posted twice on the blog so it has been updated as well.  The students were able to earn their 15 points, so we will be having our movie afternoon tomorrow.  If you choose, you may send a treat with your student to share with the class.

The rubric and outline for our Social Studies Inquiry Project will be sent home tomorrow, it's not due until after the Christmas Break, but students have had computer time this past week, and will continue to have computer and class time to work on it prior to the Christmas Break.

Merci,
Mr. Lang

Update

Hi Parents,
The words for dictee #9 have been posted below.  The quiz will take place on Friday.  The students also have a math test on Thursday - the test will be on reading data from a graph and making conclusions.  They will also be expected to calculate mode, mean, and median from data and create a line graph.  The students are also working towards having a movie party on Friday.  We will be watching the movie version of "Hatchet", which is the novel we just finished reading.  The students have earned 4 points (they started off with 11 today), and their goal is to reach 15 before Friday.  Check the blog for updates. 

Thanks,
Mr. Lang
