E.L.A.:   Fedchun

It has been a few years since I taught ELA 6 and had forgotten what a great age this is. That being said, I think I was overzealous in my planning for the week. Students needed more time to finish their puzzle pieces and rationale; they are now homework and students were asked to have those handed into the basket on Friday. We began reading the short story Charles by Shirley Jackson and students are working through some activities. Once we complete those, we will move to the next short story The Day I Cheated.  Puzzle Pieces will be on display in one my breakout rooms, so please come by Room 13 to see our classroom puzzle during Meet the Teacher Night.

Next Steps/review based on observations from this week's lessons: Capitalization review,  Understanding Prefixes and Suffixes.

F.L.A. :  Poliquin

This week we went over what we knew about the noun and took notes about it.  The students had to find nouns (proper, common, feminine and masculine) in a text and search the rules that tell us how to transform a masculine word into a feminine word and a singular word into a plural word.

Below is a link for the worksheets we did and are still working on : 

Le nom (worksheet)
Le genre et le nombre des mots 

Students must be prepared when arriving in class.  That means they must have their FLA binder and the worksheets we are working on.  I will rarely have an extra copy of what we are currently working on, so whoever will lose their worksheet will have to print it from the blog.

Social Studies:  Turcotte

Last week, we started our first chapter on democracy where it is from and how it is present in our everyday life. We will continue our learning next week by adding some new terms and vocabulary to our knowledge and extending our understanding of the concept.
