3- There are French books online on my school blog: www.madamegoold.blogspot.com

Pioneer Life!

We have started to learn about life in the 1800's. The students seem very interested in how children used to live. We will be learning a lot of new vocabulary in this unit so please make sure to review "le cahier" in order to be better prepared to learn in class. 
We will be starting to work in centres next week.  Looking forward to a fun unit!  (P.S.  We will end our unit with a PIONEER DAY!!)

Presentations & New Theme in Social Studies

I was so pleased to see the effort put into the family presentations this week!  Thank you for all the hard work given the short amount of time given to prepare! Students were given an opportunity to give feedback to their peers based on the criteria we discussed.

Next week, we'll begin our new theme in Social Studies: LIFE IN THE 1800's.  We will begin investigating life when the Aboriginals were the first inhabitants of Canada. This will lead to European settlement and the resulting consequences of contact with the Aboriginals (ie. conflict/cooperation). Learning about PIONEER LIFE has always been a favourite for my Grade 3's so I look forward to a fun unit! 

Merci!

Create an Olympic Mascot!

In this week's cahier, students are asked to create an Olympic mascot that represents Canada and the winter Olympics. They also need to give their mascot a name (Ma mascotte s'appelle...) and write in french, the type of animal that it is (Ma mascotte est un(e):...). Please click here to use "Word Reference" as a translator: Word Reference- French

IF he/she is able to, please complete the bottom 2 sections on the sheet (Ma mascotte a - "My mascot has"-describing 2 physical features, and Ma mascotte porte - "My mascot is wearing"). Please use last week's sheet on the winter sport equipment to complete what the mascot is wearing.

Merci! 
Mme Goold
