À faire (to do)

A friendly reminder for parents in terms of "homework", I often assign lots of different assignments such as math and give time in class to do them, however, sometimes it does not get completed in class by every student. They can do the math at home but it is to improve their understanding. IF they do not get it at all don't waste time forcing it, that is frustrating for all involved. Likewise if it is too easy. The best thing that can be done is to ask students what exactly they don't understand and have them write out a question such as why does 200+30+5 is the same as the symbolic form 235? I'm trying to provide as many tools to improve their learning as possible please work with your child and myself to figure out which ones are useful and which ones are not.


English please start with the Flashcards that explains the parts of speech then try matching, followed by learn and finally test yourself. There is one more game if you really want to challenge yourself. Please try all of them by Thursday the 21st.

Math please do p. 41-42 (grade 5s) p.39-41  (grade 4s)  odd questions only from the TEXTBOOK for Thursday the 21st

Science use the link learn then Méthode scientifique also play the game Jeu méthode scientifique,

On a piece of paper to hand in Friday please write the terms conclusion, hypothèse, observation, prédiction, marche à suivre, matériel and what order they should be in terms of the scientific method. Please write a definition for each of them, you can use online tools such as google translate, the games, dictionary. For Friday the 22nd. This will look like:
1) Hypothesis - an idea that you can test... 2)......etc.... Except all in French. No experiments needed.


Create a presentation that gives a short presentation about yourself, be as creative as you would like. Please feel free to use drama, sing it, play charades, do an electronic presentation (such as powerpoint), or make a work of art. Here is the link that explains the assignment. This is due for Friday the 22nd.

For parents: If you read anything online that I post that is in French please use Google translate
