Student portal
The board has added a few new resources to support french language acquisition in the classroom but also at home. TV5 Monde, Ici Radio-Canada and TFO édcuation are full of games, websites, articles and videos for learning at home. Students access these resources using the Student portal on the St-Gemma website. For TFO, students need a group identifier and password which they wrote in their agendas yesterday. Happy learning!

L'électricité
Started our electricity science unit a few weeks ago. We started with what we think we know and what we want to know. We have begun to talk about reducing our consumption as well as safety and security measures around electricity. In tandem to learning about electricity, we have been learning about coding and programming. Many if not most jobs of the future will require some form of coding knowledge. On Friday, we had a Google hangout with a class at St-Gabriel's school in Kanata with a lot of coding experience so they could give us their tips and tricks.
Below are the big ideas from the curriculum as well as some resources for students looking to deepen their learning at home
Big ideas: (1) Electrical energy can be transformed into other forms of energy. (2) Other forms of energy can be transformed into electrical energy. (3) Electrical energy plays a significant role in society and its production as an impact on the environment. (4) Society must find ways to minimize the impact of energy production on the environment.
