Bonjour,
Reminder of the Rugby practise after school tomorrow (Thursday)
Devoirs:
Maths: Math questions (plotting line segments on cartesian plane) are due on Friday. Choose 4 or the following 5 equations:
y = 2x + 1
y= 3x-3
y= x to the power of two..the answer of which you need to divide by 2 (unfortunately I can't write it out clearly on the Blog due to formatting)
y= 2x + (-2)
y = 3x - 5
French: Oral Presentations (A few students still need to present...this will take place on Friday)

Bonjour,
Français: Important reminder: Oral presentations will be happening tomorrow (as written on the Blog last week!) Everyone is expected to have their presentation memorized!
Also, continue working on lit. circles (due Wednesday)
Maths: complete activity involving finding values for y and graphing co-ordinates using the following equations:
y = 2x + 1 ( **this means 2 multiplied by whatever the value of x is and then adding 1)
find y values when x is -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and show all work
y = x-3 (** this means you take whatever x's value is and you subtract 3)
find y values when x is -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and show all work
y= 2x -2 (**this means you take whatever x's value is and multiply it by 2 then subtract 2)
find y values when x is -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and show all work
y= x2 OR x to the power of 2 (** this means you take the value of x and multiply it by itself)
find y values when X= 0, 1, 2, 3 and show all work
C'est tout,
Mme Couture

Reminder that there is no school tomorrow as it is a Pro-D day.
Devoirs:
Français: Lit Circles are next Wednesday. Please bring your novel and completed activity to class with you. Also, we will be having oral presentations (you will need to memorize your written work) on Tuesday. Please be prepared to present to the class.
I'm missing a few science labs...please get those in on Monday!
Also, many students need to continue to review the passé composé on a regular basis...take some time every day to work on verbs (writing them in sentences is the best way to learn how to use them properly).

Bonjour,
What a lovely day to visit the Ocean Discovery Centre! I hope everyone learned a lot about our ocean and all the amazing species we are lucky enough to find in our waters (I know I did!)
Devoirs:
Français: Study for Passé Composé quiz tomorrow (everyone should know which verbs use être in the past tense and which verbs use avoir...students should also be comfortable with verb endings e.g J'ai compris (for the verb comprendre) or Tu es descendu (for the verb descendre)
Also, bring your novel and lit. circle activity as we will have our lit. circle tomorrow (don't forget a snack if you are the person bringing the goûter)
Science: lab report is due. Please look at your goal setting and the lab rubric you have before you say "I'm finished".
Questions to ask yourself :
Did I complete a detailed list of possible variables? Is my analysis detailed with precise vocabulary? Did I respond to all the analysis questions and explain "why" or "how" I reached each conclusion ? Did I provide some examples in my analysis to support my conclusions/responses? Are my drawn observations detailed, accurate and labelled? Have I talked about the hypotheses in the conclusion (were we correct or not?)

I hope that everyone enjoyed the stunning charcoal art that students created on Friday during our workshop with guest artist Nick Humphrey. A few students still need to bring their work home.
Important notice: Please return the purple information form stating that your child has permission to participate in the field trip to Ocean Discovery Centre on Wednesday. A separate signed note giving permission is also acceptable.
Devoirs:
Maths: Quiz tomorrow (plotting coordinates on a cartesian plane)
Science: Quiz tomorrow (attraction and repulsion based on electrical charge) Please complete the "variables" section of lab prep. We will do the lab tomorrow during Block 1 and then students will have time to complete the analysis and conclusion sections of the lab.
** check out this web site for some information on static charge and how it works--this will help you for our experiment tomorrow http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/static.html
French: Continue preparing for lit. circles (due Wed.)

Bonjour tout le monde,
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Thank-you to all who brought delicious treats for our Valentine's celebration and thoughtful cards for the secret card exchange!
Devoirs:
Maths: Draw your angular image on the cartesian plane you were given (the back side of the one we've been plotting co-ordinates on already) and then make up a list of the co-ordinates so that someone can plot them on a separate cartesian plane thus recreating your image.
French: Study passé composé and work on Lit Circles. ** some students need to complete the passé composé handout (pages 17 &18). All verbs need ETRE for the auxillary.
E.g. Je suis arrivé(e) or Tu es descendu(e)
**Concours d'art oratoire will be on Monday during Advisory for the 8 students competing for the three Grade 6 spots. Other students will be presenting no earlier than Thursday the 18th.
Science: Review vocab including what an atom looks like and what it is made of (e.g. protons, electrons...)
