Well, today was our first Dance Friday. I am in charge of the latter part of lunch time where kids flock in the gym and let loose for a bit. If I DJ this well, kids should be back in their classroom and experience the best D.E.A.R. ever! We had quite the turnout today too even though we only had grade 1, 2 and 5 in there... lots of fun! Esther, the French monitor and a couple teachers came in to join in the fun. We do need a better sound system though, something that makes the walls shake would do it... right les enfants?
We combined the both classes today for our social periods (today's p. Kids were allowed to take notes as we stopped the presentation and talked and broke down what happened in our history and in Europe. Kids will be allowed to use their notes for the quiz next week. We learned some very cool stuff, these little presentations are packed with info. Kids are filling their sheets and asking questions, simply beautiful!!! Make yourselves a good weekend, Ton prof, signing out!

You can see today's winners for our quick Quizlet Math warm up. We practice multiplications everyday and celebrate our winners when we play Quizlet! M.C!!! Incroyablement incoryable Sharaya et Aidan (double clap!). Tomorrow is the big day. Oui Monsieur! We will get to witness our first exposés. Some kids though are still missing some objects... ouhhhhh that is playing with fire I say. If the picker picks you mañana and neither you or your partner is ready, you know what you get... that's right! Some tough love but after getting your mark signed and explained to your parents what you did with your time you will be able to get a second chance. Easier just not to go there right les enfants!?! I can't believe how cold it is all over a sudden in the morning. I cannot ride my motorcycle anymore... Make sure you dress up for the weather les amis... especially for physical education. You don't want to miss out on the fun. Let us finish the week strong les enfants! Ton prof, signing out! Kids got their lap books. Fold them properly les enfants, see picture for guidance and yes you can get your parents to help you for this. Kids all handed in their top three choices for the Social character. They have the layout, the part, the Prezi... The show is on the road. Lots of kids are using their time very well (M.Beaulieu's rule/expectation #3). Whenever they get a minute they migrate to their social, math or other subjects. Work keeps coming in and the level of difficulty as well. M. Marcotte and I facilitate projects and make sure kids are on track but they get some freedom as to how they go about doing it. Friday... exposés start for our 'sac blanc' activity. M. Beaulieu will pick numbers les amis as we discussed and whoever name comes up goes... prêt pas prêt... tu y vas!!! We had our first timed story go for marks today... we had three practice runs. Every week we undertake a new one and once or twice a month one goes for marks. I just don't say when so kids have to put out the best piece of work every time as they don't know which one I will pick up and log... mouhahahahahaha... M. Beaulieu is so mean les enfants... so mean! We are also writing again a new prompt with our 6 Trait Writing. Never a dull moment is there? Today, during physical education, we had a big face off! La classe de M. Marcotte vs ma classe... I am just being dramatic as we are all one and we play for F.U.N. but nonetheless we got our blood pumping. A little stretching first, some running action and then DODGEBALL!!! Is dodgeball ever fun and who doesn't like to do burpees anyway??? Ton prof, signing out! Hola, one more day... I feel like I wake up go to work and shazam the day is over! We work hard and play hard and the days just fly right by. We are delving into the multiplication and reverse psychology math (tell your parents about this one les enfants). Merely by being in grade 5 les amis, you should be Jedi Masters with your tabs from 1 to 8. If not, that means you need to pick up the slack and work extra hard at home and get your parents to quiz you or play some multiplication games with your siblings. We do practice every day and everybody gets a bit better every day so you don't want to fall too much behind. You have your work cut out for you too in Social. We talked about M. Marcotte and myself giving you more autonomy and responsibility. Your layout is there and now we will facilitate your avancées! Makes sure you have three choices and first come first served. The ones on the picture are just some ideas for you, by no means is this exhaustive, you can choose many other ones. Discuss it with your parents if need be. Remember as well to register for Prezi for the few that still have not. The ones that have, if you have one test run Prezi for us, I will give you time to show it to us during the day. A demain, Ton prof, signing out! |
