DEVOIRS

- Reading.
- I will be giving the students a short Math quiz on telling time on Friday - they will need to be
able to measure how much time has passed between 2 given times, as well give the new time once an addition or subtraction has been made
- Either tomorrow or Friday I will be sharing a final science project/assignment with the students.
It will focus on 3 main components:
1) the effects of soils on the environment (and vice versa)
2) the effects of soils on society (people)
3) the interrelationship between soils and other living things

The project will be done individually on computer - we will either use google docs or google slides. the project will be primarily done at school, however you can have your child log in at home if you would like to monitor their progress. The handout will outline the success criteria as well as a rubric for evaluation. I will read, provide feedback and assign a mark directly on the work submitted.

- Please remind your child the importance of speaking French in class and how fortunate they are to be in such a program. Students need to take responsibility for their own actions, and encourage others to speak French. It is not the sole responsibility of the teacher or the school

Here is a link with some useful information in guiding your child through this program

DEVOIRS

- Reading
- Review science notes - 3 types of soils and their characteristics  (Quiz Friday)
- French work on google classroom

- In one short month of school, speaking French in class has already become a BIG
issue. Unfortunately there's only so much reminding and policing I can do. I will be
starting a reward system in which each student  will receive 5 Popsicle sticks labeled
(Je parle Francais) with their names on them. If myself or Mr Konate hear someone
speaking English, we will take away a stick. At the end of the day, remaining sticks
will be converted into time. Either for using computers or perhaps inviting a friend
from another class to come eat lunch with them or perhaps even going outside to play. 
The students will begin each day with their 5 sticks. A student who manages to keep
all 5 sticks throughout the day will collect bonus time.
