Caractère

We are on our last C! I love this last C, character (or caractère) because it's all about deep learning, grit, tenacity, perseverance and self-regulating. The 6s spent a lot of time at the beginning of the year talking about grit and resiliency with Mrs. Stanton so they knew a lot about that. Now that we are at the end of the year and they have had a lot of experience with deep learning, they are also able to differentiate a deep learning task to a more superficial one. Here is the English original progression with our student friendly French one.

 

Le vol

Hard to believe but we are on our last science unit of the year! We will be studying flight in the next few weeks. This week we will do a few hands on experiments to learn about, among other things: air pressure, the weight of air, what happens to air when it is heated and some of the properties of flight. Below is a padlet with overall expectations and some links to videos, articles and games to deepen our study. Up, up and awayyy!

Heritage fair and potluck

The kids absolutely loved the potluck! We had so much food we even invited educators to partake (which was perfect timing seeing as how it's teacher appreciation day). So much yummy food! Our heritage fair was also a huge success! Students, teachers and parents who came to visit were really impressed and the kids were wonderful.

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!!!
