5IEME

Bonsoir mes amis,

Devoirs pour ce soir, j'ai envoyé les devoirs a vous, et l’adresse pour le padlet, si vous n'avez pas fini dans la classe aujourd'hui.

SOUVENIR:

3 Livres pour Journal de lecture.

UPDATES:  Parents

French

We have begun passé composé, and the class are finding it rather difficult, but they will catch on very quickly. No test will be given until the new year, which is quickly approaching. 

All the students have signed up for the app DUOLINGO, and they play it in class if they are finished early. It's a great website for practicing, and they should be doing 10minutes a day at home.

Science:

We have started matter, in science, and the students are excited for inquiry learning through collaborative activities and experiements.

Drama: We have, in the past, worked on small skits, but I have asked the class to make a Christmas play, with a written script, they are to use 6 of the Christmas words on our anchor chart that we created today. 

Social Studies: We will be finishing up our gouvernment unit with a trip to the parliament. We are all looking forward to it! And thank you to all the parents who have said they could volunteer. I will contact you tomorrow to let you know, as we are still trying to confirm numbers.  Thanks

Bonsoir mes amis, et à bientôt

Mme

Nos Affiches

SOUVENIR!!!

Bonsoir les parents,

The last few weeks we have been working on learning everything about the different parties in Kanata, their platforms, their promises. Les étudiants ont travaillés en groupes. Ils ont crées une affiche de leur trouver et un publicité. They presented it in front of the class and responded to any questions their classmates had. A rubric was explained to the students before any work was started. On October 16th the junior students participated in a student vote, and liberals won!

FRANCAIS- We will be focusing on common phrases and verbs
TEST- Ce vendredi, la structure de la phrase. Je vais envoyer une révision à chaque élève demain.

ETUDES SOCIALS- We are continuing with the elections, with our rights and our responsibilities. We will  be examining the 3 different types of governement: municipal, federal, and provincipal.


REMINDERS
-Photo day tomorrow- October 27th
-Journal de Lecture est dû ce vendredi. Chaque élève doivent lire 2 livres avant ce vendredi.
-Progress Reports are going home next week. The students will only be evaluated on their oral French, through assessment on classroom discussion, teacher observation, presentations and oral questions and answers.

L'Art de la semaine passée

Voice notre art! C'est un portrait de notre classe. Bien fait mes amis! Trouvez-vous!

DEVOIR

Merci, Mme. Boyer

Bonjour!

5ieme Annee
I hope everyone has had a relaxing and safe Thanksgiving weekend.
I can't believe how fast the year is going already.
We have been busy focusing on the upcoming election. Each student has chosen a political party to research and in groups, have created a poster that will be hung in the school to educate the other students that will be participating in our student vote this Friday. Tomorrow they will begin working on a commercial to promote their party and their platforms. The success criteria is always discussed before we begin an assignment so that students know what there expectations are and how they will be graded.

Reading: We have been focusing on reading strategies, what to do if we don't understand what we are reading. Also, we have been listening to books online and answering comprehension questions: making connections, main idea, inferring, asking questions, what we learned from the passage. We have done this as a class and then individually.

We are still focusing on speaking as MUCH French that we can in class to myself and to their classmates. I have a billet system in place, a positive reinforcement method, that encourages my students to speak French.

Homework: I will be including a Lecture Log, that will be done on a monthly basis, to encourage students to read more often. The student must submit a reading log of 4 books a month, whichever type of book they like. It will be sent home tomorrow with more directions.

A plus tard!
Mme. Boyer

Looking forward to meeting you tonight parents!!!

I can't believe how fast the month is going already! We are already into our third week of school and getting lots done!

I have focused on a lot of oral work these past few weeks, as the students weren't use to speaking French over the summer. We have had little presentations of introducing themselves, and their classmates. We are reviewing some basic common language, and phrases so the students will have a better opportunity to speak more French. They have already come along so far!!

I look forward to meeting you Thursday night at the Pizza Night! I will be floating around the classes, as I teach in 3 different rooms. Please come find me if you have any questions or concerns, or please email me any time melissa.boyer@ocsb.ca

I will also post more information under the specific Grade of your child, if homework is assigned or if I need to specify something specific. Click on the right tab.

See you Thursday,

Mme. Boyer

Bienvenue parents et élèves à l'année  2015-2016

I hope you all had a wonderful and safe summer and are looking forward to the new school year ahead.  I am excited to announce that I, Melissa Boyer, will be your child's French teacher for the year. This entails teaching them social studies, and the arts (and science for my grade 4 immersion students) in French.

I will be using this website as a means of communication with you and your children, as agendas will not be used from now on, excluding grade 2s.

I will keep you posted with any important and upcoming events. You can also visit our school website http://gab.ocsb.ca  for further information and to view the school calendar. I will also be posting photos and what the students will be working on in class so you can prompt them at home about their week, located under their grade level.

Classroom environment

I believe in an environment where students feel safe and comfortable to express themselves and learn through hands on activities and rich tasks. They will be working in a collaborative manner and will have a hand in their learning through inquiry and consolidation. We will also be using a variety of technological devices that your students will access daily. Each child has a google email that they can use to send documents to their classmates and teachers. I will be starting a positive incentive for my students to practice and use French as much as they can. They will receive Boyer Billets for their effort and I will draw out a name every two weeks and that student can choose their reward.

Homework

I like to keep homework to a minimum outside of school as the students work so hard during the day. The students will be using KidBlog to contribute to weekly discussions with their classmates. If you would like extra work, please let me know. I will post anything that is expected from them at the beginning of the week.

That said if your child has missed or needs extra time to complete their work, then I will contact you and send it home.

I emphasize the importance of experiencing the French language on a daily basis through a variety of means, reading, watching and listening to French radio, television, to name a few. I have selected a few websites that offer great resources and activities to use at home.

**Please sign up on my website to receive an email every time I update this site.

If you ever have any concerns or questions please don't hesitate to contact me either on this blog or via my email melissa.boyer@ocsb.ca 

Looking forward to meeting you all,

Melissa Boyer
