Potluck

The grade 6s are having a potluck to celebrate our learning fair, to share some family recipes or specialities and to raise funds to sponsor a polar bear through the WWF.

Students will sign up for what they want to bring tomorrow. I will try to make sure that we have a healthy mix of foods.

The potluck will take place next Tuesday at lunch. Please send any questions or concerns my way!

Yummm!!!

Foire des héritages canadiens

Vous êtes cordialement invité à la foire d’hértiage des 6e années!

Venez entendre les élèves présentés un morceau de l’héritage et l’histoire canadienne.

Invitations going home today in agendas!

portfolios

Students created portfolios using Blogger a few weeks ago. Every Friday, students get a bit of time to add work, reflections and what they are working on. Check it out with your student today!

La semaine en revue

We have started using a cool green screen app to make our own news reports. Every Friday, a triad of students will bring you up to date news on what's going on in the class or at St-Gemma.

Foire d'héritage

We are well on our way to our heritage fair! For the past two weeks, the class collaborated on an inquiry about the Italien immigrants of Canada. We learned about why they came to Canada, what life was like when they arrived as well as a what they contributed to make Canada a great country. We co-wrote an an entire project which will now serve as an example for our upcoming heritage fair. Our co-written project, details on the project and a rubric can all be found at this link.

This weeks homework

As most will know, students have been working on a design challenge for our space unit. Students have been invited to get their parents to weigh in on their designs. Students can use their scientific journal to show their design and record parents/siblings/aunts/uncles/neighbors feedback in the "étape 7" where students write the strengths and weaknesses of their projects.

Mon héritage

We will be having a heritage fair in mid-april. Our heritage fair will look like a science fair but students will present the history, contributions and stories of a chosen cultural group within Canada. For the next few weeks, as a class, we will study Italian immigration to Canada. This will help students know how to research and write their own projects for the fair. Here is a padlet with curriculum expectations, helpful links and tools.
