The Grade 5`s have been busy about our Canadian Flag this week. Here is the beautiful bulletin board done by them!
As part of a homework, your child was to create his/her own Canadian flag and explain it. Wow! I am impressed and very pleased about how they have turned out. I am in the process of having students re-illustrate their flag. New bulletin to come! Stay tuned!
In Language Arts, your child was to present a recipe of their own using the Procedural format and have props to create the recipe in class. Bravo les amis! Also, we will start Recount writing. For this writing unit, we will study the verb tense: 'Passé composé'. Have your child practice this tense by going on the Internet. The Internet has great activities to help your child. Google: Activités pour le passé composé. 10 to 20 minutes per night will benefit your child. Learning verbs is like learning multiplication or division. You need to memorize.
In science, in about two weeks, we will start our new unit: "Conservation of Energy". Another great unit! More to come!
In Social Studies, we are wrapping up with a research on how to become a Canadian citizen. What are the steps. Afterwards, in a group, your child will need to create a poster by highlighting the steps.
We are also in the process of making an I-movie about the Children's Rights'. Here are two beautiful songs that we have been singing.

Je vous souhaite une belle journée!
