Science Display

Hello Grade Fives!

As you know, this week you will begin work on your science display. In today's comment, I would like you to share the following with me:

1. the simple machine you will explore in depth
2. your plans so far
3. parts of the assignment you are excited about
4. parts of the assignment you are unsure about or concerned about
5. anything else you would like to share with me

As always, I look forward to reading your responses.

Love, Mrs. French

French Assignment Check Up

Hello Grade Fives!

Today, I would like you to let me know how your French Webquest assignment is coming along. In your comment, please tell me what is going well. I would also like you to tell me if you are encountering any challenges or if you need help. I will assume that you have already asked your peers.

As usual, please ensure that you reread your comment to ensure that there very few convention errors: spelling, punctuation, meaning.

Love, Mrs. French

French Canadian Culture Assignment

Hello Grade Fives!

Last week you had a look at voicethread. You were asked to decide whether you will complete your French Canadian Culture assignment using power point or voicethread. Today, in your comment, I would like you to tell me which form you will use to show your learning and whether or not you will complete the assignment independently.

Please remember that I expect you to check your writing conventions prior to submitting your comment.

Love Mrs. French

Welcome to Voicethread!

Winter Fun in Ft. St. James

Hello Grade Fives!

I would like you to visit Mrs. Gammon's class blog and read the comments, from both classes. In full complete sentences, please respond to the following:

1) for our class comments: find one winter event in Vanderhoof that you did not know about

2) for Mrs. Gammon's class comments: choose one winter event in Ft. St. James you would like to attend and explain why

Please open Mrs. Gammon's class blog in a new window, 4 Dragons so that you are able to read and comment. Remember, you are writing in this blog comment section, not in 4 Dragons.

Love Mrs. French

Joining Mrs. Gammon's Class Blog

Hello Grade Fives!

Three weeks ago, we invited Mrs. Gammon and her Grade Fours to join us in our blog. This week we will join them.

They use a different type of blog, similar to the Blogmeister we use with Mrs. Tunnell’s class.

This week, I would like you to visit their class blog (4 Dragons) and respond.

Remember:

• to read the task carefully


• use 'excellent adjectives', 'active verbs', and 'precise nouns'


• have a peer check and help you edit your response before sending
  

Love Mrs. French

Our Community

Hello Grade Fours and Fives!

What a great collection of questions!

This week, we would like you to take time to read several of the questions from each other's class. Once again, scroll down to last week’s blog and click on ‘comments’ to see them all. Grade Five questions appear in the first half of the list of comments while Grade Four questions appear in the last half.

Read a selection from students in your neighbouring community. Using these questions as a guide, write a paragraph describing your own community.

Grade Fives, I will be assessing your paragraph structure.

Once again, we are looking forward to reading all of your responses.


Mrs. Gammon and Mrs. French
