The Witness Blanket

Hello, families!

Today, to close off the week of Truth and Reconciliation, we spent an extended time in homeroom to learn about the Witness Blanket.

We started with Mme reading the story, When We Were Alone by David A. Robertson.

Listen to David Robertson read the book HERE.

We then began learning about and exploring some of the objects included in the blanket.

As a class, we chose to begin our learning journey exploring the object: child's shoe. (Click HERE). We read about the shoe and also watched short videos of the witness, Harold and his connection to the shoe. He shared his stories of attending residential school and the lessons he had learned from a young age (12 years old). 

The history of the Witness Blanket is heavy and is a lot to process all at once. Reconciliation is a journey that continues far beyond one day a year. It is more than just wearing an orange shirt.

We will continue our learnings and discussions here at school and invite families to open up the dialogue at home. The Witness Blanket site: https://witnessblanket.ca/ is a great place to start.

French Games with a Teacher Guest!

Hello, learning friends!

Today in Français we had a special visitor - Mme Gonzales! Mme Gonzales will be with us once a cycle to work on different literacy activities. Today we had a chance to play French games! Having previously played different "Qui suis-je" themes as a whole class, today was our first chance to play them in small groups!

Please ask me about my game! What theme did I have? What new words did I learn? Did I figure out who the mystery person was?

Happy Monday!

Hello! It's Monday!

This week is Truth and Reconciliation Week. To start off our week of learning, Mme read us the beautifully illustrated book, Meet Your Family.

We then watched the video, "What does it mean to wear on orange shirt?" (Watch the video HERE. (0:00 - 19:30)). We watched this video today so that we understand the meaning behind why we wear an orange shirt to remember Indigenous children who attended residential schools. Students who do not have an orange shirt to wear are invited to participate in the making of orange shirt pins which will take place tomorrow (Tuesday) in the library over the noon hour. The pins will then be available to all students on Wednesday in preparation for Orange Shirt Day on Thursday of this week.

*

We finished our morning with Science and completed our first Science lab - How many drops of water will fit on the surface of a penny? We completed the 'test' 4 times and, tomorrow, will be calculating the average of our results. Please ask me about the steps of the experiment and about how many drops of water I was able to get on to the surface of my penny! So fun!

Terry Fox Friday!

 Hello, friends! Happy Friday!

This morning in Math we played a connect-the-dots type game in math to help us practice placing coordinates on a Cartesian plane. Using dice, we rolled coordinate pairs and had to have three coordinates in a row in order to win!

We also had our school Terry Fox walk/run this morning. The rain held off and we had a great time walking/running/cheering on our schoolmates in our community.

A big Bravo to all!

Have a great weekend! :)

A Math problem, A Top 5 Hand and A Science Brainwork Task

Hello friends of learning! Happy Thursday

Can you solve this Math problem? We started our day with the same question (but in French) to get our brains warmed up and ready for learning.

What information in the question can help us? What digit can we place even before getting started on finding the solution? Please ask me what strategy I used to find the solution.

*

In Français, we worked on our Top 5 hands, with many of us now finished decorating our hands and working on practicing our presentations. Presentations will start either tomorrow (Friday) or Monday, pending the weather and our Terry Fox run. Taking time to practice what we would like to say (presenting to ourselves in front of a mirror works great!) will ensure we feel confident when it is time to speak in front of our peers.

We finished the morning with a quick overview of our first Science experiment which we will complete in class either tomorrow or Monday. Our 🧠Brainwork for this evening is to consider how many drops of water will fit on the surface of a penny and why/how we came up with the prediction that we did. We will be writing our ideas down in the form of a hypothesis before starting the experiment. Stay tuned to find out more!

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday!

It was so nice to see everyone's smiling faces this morning!

Now that we're heading in to our second week of middle school, we'll be adding a few more routines to our mornings (new Math starters, reading, and more!) We will also be starting our first writing/presenting task in Français as well as learning our first new concepts in Math and Science.

Today in Math, Mme read the book, Sir Cumference and the Viking's Map we the activating activity for "les plans cartésiens" which we will begin learning in class tomorrow.

Please ask me about the story: what are some of the key words that Mme pointed out as 'important' as we listened to her read?

Looking forward to a great week! :)

It's Friday! (And the Sixth Day of Middle School!)

Hello, friends of learning!

Friday morning has come and gone, and we are ready for the weekend! (A full week of school is no joke! Phew!)

Before signing off, let's take a quick look at what we were up to on this, the sixth day of middle school!

*

We started our day with a story, of course! A Perfectly Messed Up Story is a great reminder that sometimes (often!) things do not go as planned, but that is ok! Everything will be fine!

In Math, Mme introduced us to "Les gratte-ciels" (Skyscrapers) which we worked on in randomized groups of 3. Please ask me about the rules of the game and how my group did!

After a short writing task in Français (with a weekend follow-up activity that is posted below in the Agenda section), we tackled our first team challenge of the year!

Working in randomized teams of 3, we were tasked with building the tallest, free-standing spaghetti structure possible (with a marshmallow on top!), and we only had 20 pieces of dry spaghetti, 1 meter of tape and 16 minutes to do so!

We all had different approaches and varying degrees of success, but in the end, we were still all smiles

as we closed out our first full week together as a team!

And, a big Bravo! to our winners - Team RMK - who had the tallest structure with a height of 49 cm!

Thanks for a great week, everyone! :)

The Fifth Day of Middle School!

Hello families! It's the fifth day of middle school!

This morning we read the story, We're All Friends Here. It was fun to see the same story from two different points of view. This is a good reminder for us to be kind to one another - we can never be sure what someone else is going through.

We also played the same "Guess Who" French game as yesterday, but today's theme was downhill sports! Instead of 'Arrrrrrrrrrrr-ing" like a pirate, we "Brrrrrr-ed" like it was winter! (Mme Careen is so silly!)

We ended the morning with our Top 5 video about organization, which led us to our first "Brain Work" task of the year.

What is 🧠Brain Work? Brain Work is a thinking homework task that we can do at any point during the evening, which can easily be done as we sit on the bus, drive to hockey, watch our sister's piano lesson or brush our teeth. There is nothing to write down or hand in the following day, but, we will be asked to put our ideas to use in class the following day.

Today's 🧠Brain Work task: Think through the Top Cinq organization tricks and choose which one is our favourite and why. We will be writing our answers in our cahier tomorrow is class. (If a refresher is needed, CLICK HERE to watch the video.)

Thanks for another great morning!

The Fourth Day of Middle School!

Hello, friends of learning! Happy Wednesday!

We started our morning with another great book, If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't! We all had a good laugh at the story line and the expressions on the characters' faces!

Next up, another getting-to-know-you activity... but this time with food! Yum! (Please ask me what I shared with my classmates! Did I have anything in common with the other members of my group?)

We then worked through one of our first Math routines of the year: Esti-mystères! Using a photo as well as a set of clues, we try to determine how many objects are in the container. This will help us review and learn new Math vocab that we will use throughout the year. (Some of the words that came up today were: pair, impair, multiple, chiffre and the symbols < (plus petit que) and > (plus grand que).)

After our locker break, in Français, we played a French game together as a class. It is a Who Am I/ Guess Who format that uses a game board and a set of clues to help figure out who the mystery person is. Today, the version of the game was Pirates! And, Mme Careen made us say our answers in a pirate accent, just for fun. 😁 

We ended the morning watching our first "Vraiment Top" video of the year, which we'll explain on the blog in more detail tomorrow. In the mean time, please ask me what the video was about and what my favourite organization 'hack' was!

Have a great afternoon, everyone! :)

The Third Day of Middle School!

Hello! Happy Tuesday!

Our third morning of middle school was a good one!

First, Mme Careen read us another fun school-themed story.

Then, we did a "Qui a...?" activity that allowed us to practice our handshakes and our classmates' names as we asked them specific questions to fill in our sheet.

We finished our morning with a tangram activity.

Working in randomized groups of three, we worked together to solve three different tangram puzzles. We all had different levels of success, but we all worked well with our teams - even speaking to each other in French most of the time! 

Looking forward to another great day tomorrow! :)

Hello! Happy First Day of School! 

We had a busy first morning or middle school! The time flew by as we: practiced our handshakes, listened to Mme Careen read us a special first-day-of-school story, had a whole-school assembly, took our first-day-of-school photos, reviewed where to find our ELA and PA classrooms, learned how to use a combination lock for our very own locker, and began to meet and learn the names of our new classmates. Phew!

Please enjoy a few pics from our first morning together!

It is SO great to be back and have a classroom full of smiling faces! 😁

Have a great weekend! Enjoy the sunshine!

Our classroom is ready and waiting for us.

It's our first day of middle school!

We have such beautiful smiles!

How are we already in Grade 6?!

We are looking forward to a great year ahead!

Meeting our classmates, practicing our handshakes and talking about candy. Yum!

Mme Careen loves jumping pictures! (She made us take this picture SO MANY times!)

The official first-day-of-school whole-class photo! A smiling one and a silly one for good measure!
We are excited to be back at school! :)

Welcome! Bienvenue!

Hello and Welcome Families of Homeroom 208!

My teaching partner Mme Erica Chernick, my afternoon homeroom partner Mme Chantal Dupas and I are very excited to meet your kiddos this week! After a summer full of rest and sunshine, we are happy to be back in the classroom, ready for a great year of learning! Our first day (Friday) will be mostly focused on getting to know one another, establishing routines, learning how to use locks, explaining protocols and helping kids rediscover the joy of being back at school. ☺

While you are here, please take a minute to bookmark or create a home screen link to this page. Checking our classroom blog daily will allow you to keep up to date with all that we are doing here in Room 208 in Français, Mathématiques and Sciences de la nature.  (If your child is connected with a device, they, too, are encouraged to follow along by creating a shortcut to the blog on their home screen.)

Wishing you all a great first day of Grade 6!

Nous avons hâte à vous voir bientôt, les élèves! :)
