Bonjour tout le monde!
I just wanted to say Bravo! to all the students who completed the entire science review which was due today. A lot of you worked very hard on your half day off and I really appreciate your effort! I also wanted to share how pleased I am with the great results overall on the math unit test! It's very exciting for me to see how confident students are getting with multiplying and dividing decimals! Well done!
Now...back to business...
Devoirs :
Maths: Share how the math test went with your parents and explain why it went how it did (for you)
French: Everyone should have already read the last two chapters of the novel and should now be working on finding the 8 main events and writing them down on the "Sequenceur" page. Also, you should be researching for the "Researcher" portion of the assignment. As explained on the handout, pick anything about the book that interested you (setting, theme, character, author etc) and find out more about that topic (e.g. research at library or on internet). Bring your findings to the discussion on Tuesday!
Sciences Humaines: Using your thinking web, choose 3-5 main themes that you will cover on your Canadian/cultural identity poster (e.g. sports, environment, liberty) It should be things that are important to you in terms of your own cultural identity.
C'est tout!
