Bonjour,
Sorry for the late post!
I just wanted to say thank-you to everyone for excellent behaviour/attitudes today on our field trip. I was really impressed overall with everyone! Thank-you also to parent drivers for bringing students back to the school and for being chaperones at the museum.
Reminder that:
Breakfast potluck is from 9-10:00am tomorrow. I can heat things up from 8:30-9:00 if needed.
Please make sure to bring a bag to take things home in so lockers and desks are totally cleared out at the end of the day tomorrow.
Also, Sciences Humaines mini-project is due at the end of the day tomorrow. We will have time in the afternoon to finish up but try to be very close to finished already as time will fly by.
We will also work on completing the math review both tomorrow and possibly a bit on Thursday morning.
A demain,
Mme Couture

Bonjour,
Sciences Humaines: Just a reminder to bring all written work (everything for Egypt project should be written out or typed as if it were the good copy) so we can edit final drafts, make final corrections and then work on completing the poster portion which will contain written work and images (with headings and bibliography). Please bring a printed copy of work and also the work saved to a memory stick or emailed to me as we will have a bit of time possibly tomorrow but definitely Thursday to make final changes. Work should be typed at home though as lab time at school will be for final editing on alreaday typed work.
Also, bring PE strip tomorrow for Fitness Studio.
Français: Passé Composé worksheet should be completed (I believe) and a reminder to those participating in the Concours D'Art Oratoire that the school competition will take place in the gym on Wednesday afternoon.
A demain,
Mme Couture

Sciences Humaines: your layout and subheadings/poster plan for Ancient Egypt project is due on Tuesday. I want to see that you have a clear idea of the layout for your poster and all the topics you are going to cover on your subject (including the actual headings you will use for each section, in French).
Maths: finish questions from the end of today's class (four equations you need to draw and four-five equations you need to calculate).
Science: I would like you to try to find a website where you can calculate your entire carbon footprint (try searching : carbon footprint calculator individual) as well as a site that allows you to figure out how to offset your carbon footprint through exercise rather than paying money. Don't forget some sites show carbon footprint in tons and you will need to convert your footprint from kg possibly to tons.
***SCIENCE CHALLENGE*** For our next challenge (mapping where our food comes from), it is important to record where the food from your next grocery purchase comes from. Try to record at least 10 items (e.g. where were your dairy products, eggs, fruit, veggies, bread, cheese etc. produced or grown?) We are going to try to begin mapping items on Tuesday so if you go shopping this weekend, pay attention to where things originated!

Good luck to everyone involved in Musical Desserts!

Science: lab report due on Tuesday (analysis should include an explanation of WHY salt and sugar dissolve more quickly when in a solution that is agitated (stirring)). Try to make the connection between our lab results and the video we watch about how the water molecules are attracted to and attach to the atoms that make up salt and sugar ions/molecules. Think about how stirring would help this process.
Maths: quiz on Tuesday. Go over questions we corrected in class today as well as questions from last class. Be prepared to find equivalent fractions (multiply or divide by one in the form of a fraction such as 2/2 or 6/6 etc.) and to reduce fractions to lowest terms (dividing fraction by a form of one like 2/2 or 4/4 or 3/3)
Sciences Humaines: make sure pictures are drawn from culture assignment.
Français: I think there is a verb exercice to complete from your grammar book.

Bonjour,
Please review new concepts from Science (states of matter-solid, liquid, gas) and Socials Studies (The Nile and its sources, Upper and Lower Egypt, "Terre Rouge" and "Terre Noire", climat in Egypt). Note, if you are stumped by some of the questions from today's handout, do a little research online perhaps.
Also, the Social Studies project is homework if you are not yet finished. Lunch time work blocks and after school homework club should be used to finish up.

Bonne année à toutes et à tous!
Just a reminder to bring PE strip for Thursday's PE class and instruments for Wednesday's Band class
Also, please ensure to pick up and hand-in pizza and subway order forms. They are available at the office.
Devoirs:
Maths: "Everything I know about circles" assignment is due on Thursday. There will possible be a small amount of time given tomorrow to work on it but please do some work at home to ensure that your work is detailed and complete. Also, make sure to include definitions and examples of what you know about circles (area, circumference), pi, the radius and the diameter (aire, circonférence, pi, le rayon, le diamètre...)
Sciences Humaines: Mesopotamia project is due Friday. There will be some time during class to assemble the poster and/or report if you have now chosen a report format. All written work should be completed and brought to school printed off. Another option is to save your work to a memory stick and print at school or email me your work and I can print it at school.
Also, please ensure that you consult the yellow hand out to verify that all components are completed (including a comparison between how the innovation/invention is used today as opposed to during Mesopotamian times).
Passe une bonne soirée!
