Bonjour,

Reminder that Eco-Rowing is taking place on Tuesday May 4th and that we are leaving the school at 8:00am.

Devoirs:

Français: Cahier de lecture is due on Monday! (All five activities need to be completed and submitted on Monday morning) Please take the time to read carefully over your work to check for spelling and grammar errors. Also, verify that you are using a precise vocabulary in your summaries.

Sciences Humaines: You should all be working on writing the different sections of your report using the notes you have gathered. In some instances, you may need to do a bit more research to fill any "holes" in your notes (sometimes details and explanations are missing).

Maths: continue reviewing area and perimeter of rectangles as well as the area of triangles and circumference of circles. Excellent work this week on our fractions review activity! It was great to hear so much math vocabulary being used correctly to explain your thinking when reducing fractions and solving equations involving finding a common denominator. Bravo!


A lundi,
