First of all I want to say a HUGE thank-you for the thoughtful and very generous gift I received yesterday. I was very touched (and surprised). The flowers are beautiful (so bright and cheerful) and the gift certificates are for my two favourite stores : ) I also want to say thank-you to Advisory 42 for being a group of conscientious, fun, kind, positive, and hard working students. It's been a thoroughly enjoyable year for me (this is an understatement) and I thank you so much for that too.
I also want to wish everyone in a safe and fun summer vacation! I hope everyone enjoys the break from school and gets rested and recharged for Grade 7.
Passez de très belles vacances!
À septembre,
Mme Couture

Bonjour,
Wishing everyone a safe and relaxing weekend! There is no homework except to remember appropriate clothing and footwear for our field trip to the Imax and Beacon Hill Park on Monday. Please be at the classroom for 8:20 so we can catch the bus right away and be in time for the IMAX at 9:00am.
Important Reminder: Parents giving us a ride back to school should meet us just across from the Petting Zoo area of Beacon Hill Park (there is a bit of a field there) at 2:30 so we can be at Lansdowne for 2:50. Thank-you!

Bonjour,
Thank-you so much to all students for their exemplary behaviour on our beach outing today. It was tons of fun!
Reminder to tell parents that Cirque du Soleil is more likely going to finish closer to 6:00pm and that we will be at Royal Athletic Park shortly thereafter. All parents who volunteered to drive should be at the school around 2:45 so we can leave right away.
Science models are due tomorrow for Extreme Environments projects
Have a great evening,

Bonjour,
Thank-you to everyone for bringing all the delicious food inspired by the countries studied in Sciences Humaines. The food was positively delectable and it was such a treat to try dishes from around the world!
Math re-quiz for those who need another try at mesuring angles (remember, always to ask yourself is the angle acute or obtuse before measuring and always beginning at 0 degrees when reading the protractor).
Reminder to those with missing books to scour your homes for them. Also, bring appropriate footwear and clothing for beach day tomorrow. It is supposed to cool off a bit so it would be a good idea to bring a sweater (and sunscreen/hat etc).

Just a reminder to please bring EVERYTHING necessary to complete science poster and socials report which are both due by the end of the day tomorrow. If this means emailing me the documents you've worked on at home, please do so! (mcouture@sd61.bc.ca)
Note: Three notices went home today for upcoming trips/excursions. The IMAX/Beacon Hill Park outing requires permission (apologies for the date not being there except at the bottom. It's for Monday June 27th)
Also, our multicultural luncheon is next Wednesday (the 22nd) highlighting food from the countries you've been studying in social studies. Please let me know what you are planning to bring by Monday so we can have a sense of whether we have enough main dishes.

Bonjour,
For those who think we are going to the beach tomorrow, our beach outting had to be postponed until next week due to the high volume of work that needs to happen on Social Studies and Science projects which are due by Friday at the absolute latest. We will have more work time at school but more for editing and formatting at this point. All sections should be typed for both projects at this point.
Reminder to bring the poster board for Science project (unless you are using my flat poster paper) so that work can be completed during class time (e.g. assembling text and images). Models can be brought in for next week.
There will be an information notice about the beach outting sent home by the end of this week (tentatively planned for Thursday June 23rd) as well as the permission form for the IMAX field trip (Monday the 27th) and the parent volunteer driving request form for our Cirque du Soleil experience (Friday May 24th).
**All Glee performers: this is a reminder to come prepared to perform for Mme Aristou's class tomorrow (block before lunch). It would be AWESOME if you could wear the costumes again as I was hoping to film this performance**

Bonjour,
I just wanted to say that everyone who participated in today's talent show did an excellent job. It takes a lot of courage to get up in front of one's friends and peers to present. I was so impressed by everyone's performance. A special "WOW! Great Job!" goes out to all the students involved in the Glee performance. The acting was excellent, the singing superb and it all flowed together really well. It was down right AWESOME!
Devoirs:
Continue working on Science and Sciences Humaines and please bring work saved to a memory stick or email it to yourself so that editing/changes can be completed at school before work is put on the poster/in the report. I will be giving students 4 blocks next week in the computer lab to make final changes/print their work/assemble the poster/report for Science and Sciences Humaines.
C'est tout,
Mme Couture

Maths: quiz tomorrow on polygons (knowing the names of different polygons) and finding area/perimeter of rectangles and triangles as well as the volume of rectangular prisms.
Science et Sciences Humaines: continue to work on writing out the good copy of the project. Please bring work saved to a memory stick to school so work can also be completed here.
A few students still need to submit their French assignment "illustrateur" and the science drawing of species observed at Mt. Tolmie
