Teacher’s corner:

1.     Study science notes.

2.     Choose a book in English for the book report. It has to be a novel that you haven’t read yet. It cannot be a graphic novel, nor any of the Harry Potter books.

3.     Work on multiplication tables

Science: We have started our Chemistry unit. We watched a video describing physical and chemical changes of matter, physical and chemical characteristics of matter and what matter is.

Math: This week we reviewed multiplication of 2-digit numbers by a 1-digit number studied in Grade 4. We studied the algorithm of multiplying 3-digit numbers by a 1-digit number. That’s the task students have been working on:

FLA: This week we started working on another past tense: Imparfait. We discussed how Passé Composé and Imparfait are different and how they translate into English.

ELA: We have concluded our novel study Swindle by Gordon Korman. All the activities that we have done throughout the novel study will be included in the individual book report that students will start on Monday.

Students’ descriptions were used for our quiz on Thursday.

Next week students will present to the class, will record a video of their project and will put it on IRIS.

Art: Since last Friday students have been working on creating “Day” and “Night” paintings in the style of Ted Harrison. We looked at Ted Harrison’s work, listened to the poem “The Cremation of Sam McGee” by Robert W. Service and together identified characteristics of Ted Harrison’s art. Students use these characteristics to guide their work.
