Good day everyone! I was out for some Professional Development. Just a few items from today and tomorrow.

La science 7D – We have our Chapter 2 tomorrow. Everyone should have the necessary materials to prepare tonight.

Les maths 7C & 7D – We wrote a quiz today on adding fractions and mixed numbers. We will continue working with subtracting fractions this week. We will be having a chapter test at the beginning of next week.

Les sciences humaines 7D – We wrote our Ancient Egypt unit test today. Marks should be ready to go by tomorrow and the test will be handed back once everyone has written it.

Les sciences humaines 7A – Essays are due Friday!

Here’s our Monday!

Les sciences humaines 7D – We started with our review page of questions. The students asked each other the questions from the page and shared their answers. We then used our notes to play a review game. We have our test tomorrow for the Ancient Egypt unit, study well tonight and make good use of the resources available in the sciences humaines folder if they are forgotten at school.

Les sciences humaines 7A – I handed back their second drafts with suggestions and corrections to be made. We have set the due date for Friday, January 31 and today was the last day for class time to be spent on the essay.

Les maths 7C & 7D – We completed some final review for adding fractions. I introduced a guide sheet for adding fractions based on the formative assessments from last week. We are going to try an in class assignment tomorrow with which the students will be able to use the guide. We then started applying the same strategies to subtracting fractions. I anticipate we will be finishing the unit by the end of the week. There will be a few more quizzes and a final chapter test early next week. The google classroom homework has been uploaded.

Voilà notre journée !

La science 7D – We completed the last few questions of the Chapter 2 review. Our next class is Wednesday when we have our test. Students have the review sheet to work with to prepare. There is a copy available in the science folder, if students are looking for a repeat practice in their understanding.

Les maths 7C & 7D – We finished our last class for adding fractions. The students received their pop quiz from yesterday’s class and I have added them to SAS as a formative mark. I will be completing some summative assessments next week. The google classroom will back in action next week.

Le français 7E – The students prepared their visual portion of a presentation on their preferred sport. We will begin presenting our sports next week.

Les sciences humaines 7D – We viewed the suggested ideas for our Class Code, modelled after Babylonian King Hammourabi’s code. We held a vote today and discussed our four favourites. The votes are being compiled and a code will be constructed next week. We have our test scheduled for Tuesday. The students finished working on a review sheet today and we will use Monday’s class as a final review before the test.
