Parent Volunteers and QUIZ next week!

Bonjour! Thank you to all the parents who have volunteered so far for our Pioneer Day on June 8th. I am seeking more volunteers so please consider helping out during your child's French block. This day will be more successful with your assistance. Thank you in advance!

Also, please ensure your child practices this week's reading on "Les vetements".  Next week, we will have a reading comprehension multiple choice quiz based on that reading.

I LOVE seeing all the 3D models that have been brought in so far. Please bring your child's model to the Learning Commons and place it above the book shelves where the others are. Ensure that at least 5 items have been labeled on the project.

Merci beaucoup!

Pioneer Slide-Show Projects

The Gr. 3's have been working hard on their Google Slide-shows at school, with their partners. We will hopefully have the projects completed this week and begin presenting them next week. If you would like to take a peek at your child's project, have him/her show you in their French Folder.

Please sign "le cahier"

Dear Parents...I would like you to sign the page in "le cahier" to confirm that you are aware that the 3D Pioneer Model Project is due June 1st. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please write them on the page. If you require a shoebox or materials, please list them and I will do my best to send them home with your child as soon as I can.
Merci!

Here is another example of a 3D model from last year. Note the labels for the items. Students used a toothpick, sticky note and plasticine (to hold the toothpick in place). (Plastic animals can be used on the farm if your child would like to add them!)

French Projecs!

The students will be coming home with a newsletter today outlining the 2 Social Studies projects that are planned. The 3D model pioneer project will be due on June 1st and is to be completed at home (with or without a partner). The Google Slide-Show project will be completed at school with a partner. The criteria checklist for both projects has also been sent home.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Merci!

Quiz on Thursday - Les pionniers

We will be having a very short quiz on Thursday to review the relationship between "les autochtones et les pionniers".  Please see the sheet in last week's "cahier de lecture".  Students will be required to list the types of cooperative activities that occurred, as well as the sources of conflict that arose between the aboriginals and the pioneers. A word bank will be provided. I will also ask your child to describe one cooperative relationship and one conflicting relationship between the two (this can be done in English). 

Merci!

Mme Goold

P.S. I am in the process of planning 2 projects related to Pioneer Life (ie. Google Slide-show and 3D model). As well, we will be having a "Jour des pionniers" sometime in June. More information to follow.  Check out one of my students all dressed up for last year's Pioneer Day!
