Test Jeudi

This Thursday we will be having a test on the verbs être and avoir. The test will also include a section on les adjectifs possessifs. Their are links on the blog that can help you prepare for the test.
In other news, we will be having a WWII Air force veteran come and speak to on November 6th. We are very lucky that he is willing to come into our class to share his experiences with us. This will certainly help us prepare our hearts for Remembrance day.

Je m'excuse....

It has been a few days since I have posted, so I thought I would update you all. I have added some links so that you can practice using possessive adjectives. Don't forget the important rules we learned in class! I will be bringing in the hip hop song to give us even more practice... It is quite funny! Although probably not as funny as me attempting to sing it today :o)

Perhaps we can get Léon le caméléon to sing it for us.... Or her version at least!

Bonne soirée! Mme

Devoirs

To answer your question Bob Petit, you are creating your own artwork in Norval Morrisseau's style. Therefore you are choosing your own animal or person and using his paintings as an inspiration. It is not meant to be an exact replicate.
Hope this helps!

Norval Morriseau

On Friday, we learned all about the First Nations artist Norval Morrisseau. Using his work as an inspiration, everyone made their own masterpiece. I cannot believe how fantastic they all are! You are a class full of amazing artists! I can't wait to see your final works! Don't forget that you have to choose one image (an animal or a person) to draw. Please bring it in to class on Monday as this was part of your homework. I have attached a link under the art section so that you can see examples of Norval Morrisseau's work.

Bonne fin de semaine!
Mme

PS Yes Tito, you may use a computer image to help you design your image. I guess those two hours weren't wasted after all! :o)

Nos vies!

Wow! I was so impressed with the presentations of your lives today! Vous avez des vies très excitantes! I can't wait to hear the rest of them tomorrow!

We also kept working on our Volleyball skills today. You guys are getting better every day! Don't forget to fifnish your homework as it's due Monday.

Passez une bonne soirée!
Mme

Homework is posted!

Isn't that exciting? I had already gotten 2 emails from you guys looking for the verb.... You are very eager!

Ceci me fait contente :o)

Bonne soirée les élèves!

Cette semaine....

Hmmm... The beginning of another week. This week we are starting our homework journals. You will have to conjugate a different verb every week (au présent, passé composé, imparfait et le futur proche). You will have to write one sentence for each different pronoun (je, tu, il, elle, on, nous, vous, ils, elles). We have done this several times in class so this should not be a problem. Plus, you will have a whole week to complete it!

Also, we worked on our road maps today.... I am very excited to learn all about the exciting events that have happened in your lives!

On se voit demain matin!

La fusée pétard!

We were very lucky today as we got to see a "rocket" being launched! It was very cool! A big thank you to Magmau's mom for coming out to show us this - it ties in really well with our Flight unit.

Je vous souhaite tous et toutes une bonne nuit!

Today we had our Thanksgiving liturgy where we got to focus on what we were thankful for in our lives. We were also asked to think of acts of kindness that we can do on a daily basis to enhance other peoples lives. Think of ways that you can help others around you by being a good neighbour.

On se voit demain!
Mme Revine

PS I am thankful that I have such fantastic students!

Joyeuse Action de Grâce!

Just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy this special time with your family. Don't forget to finish your acrostic poem and share it with your family on Thanksgiving! Please remember to bring it back in on Tuesday.

Bonne fin de semaine!

Guinness World Record Walk

Congratulations on being part of history! You all showed your commitment to healthy living and the environment! You should be very proud of yourselves, I am!

We used a Venn diagram today to compare Léon and Gaston, two very different chameleons (although they do have some things in common). A Venn diagram is a very useful tool when you are comparing like items or characters.
Bonne nuit!

News Show!

Today was the first news show of the year! I was so proud of all of you that participated! I didn't realize just how talented you all are! Congratulations to the students who won the awesome student award for being respectful!

Tomorrow is our big walk - don't forget to wear comfortable shoes! À demain!

Un nouveau mois est arrivé...

Already in October - it's hard to believe one full month has gone by since we started school! This month we will be continuing our Science unit on Properties of Flight and the Characteristics of Air! We will be doing many more experiments to learn all that we can! Our rockets were a complete success!

We will also be starting our first Social Studies Unit which is on Aboriginals. There is so much to learn but I know that you are all up to the challenge! Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

PS I have been adding more info to the Blog to keep everyone up to date on what is happening in the class.... Keep checking back for more entries!
