Welcome to David Thompson!

Math & Science
Johanne Poirier

My name is Johanne Poirier and I am the 6.2 Homeroom teacher.  Once a week I will post on this blog special announcements and homework.   

After just 3 days of school, students had the opportunity to meet with friends, review some grade 5 knowledge from last year and meet there new teachers.

I am teaching Math and Sciences to all grade 6 students.  Students are expected to speak French in my class at all time. You will notice that Social studies and French Language Art teachers will ask for the same expectations. This is your kid's first challenge of the year.  All year long, I will be there to help students in any of there school challenges.

Each student will receive a Textbook in Math.  I am asking students to cover the textbook with strong paper (not just a book sock).  They will get there book around mid-September.

In Math, students will have homework every day from Monday to Thursday (never on weekend). All the other subjects will have assignment once in awhile.  In Science they might get 5 to 6 projects in the whole year.

Have a great school year!

 ELA 6.2
Jennifer Thorne Fedchum

I look forward to working with and getting know each student this year.  I will be teaching ELA and have a lot of fantastic ideas planned. Please see the course outline that was sent home with each student this week for further information.

“No one person is a smart as all of us put together.”

This week we are working on creating a classroom puzzle; each student is creating one piece of that puzzle, which reflects their identity. It will be displayed on a bulletin board all year. Please see the link below for assignment details and rubric. Next week, we will be continuing with identity and self-discovery by reading short stories: Charles by Shirley Jackson, The Day I Cheated by Tony Lena. And to finish off we will play a great game of Guess Who.

If you need to contact me, please email me at jlthorpefed@cbe.ab.ca

Looking forward to a great year!

Ms. J. Fedchun

FLA 6.2
Vicky Poliquin

Good to have you back again this year!  This week we went over the course outline (click here to see it) and the students started a short worksheet on how to use the dictionary.  The students also brainstormed and tried to remember whatever they could on those two subjects :  grammar and descriptive writing.  There was a lot of interesting information given by the students.  Here are two pictures of their cooperative work.

Also, here is the link with the video about the “Alphabet”.

Welcome back to David Thompson grade 6s! It will be my pleasure to be your social studies teacher this year. You can click on the  Course Outline 6 SS to find all the information about what we will be studying in Social Studies this year. This week, we started slowly by getting to know each other, we talked about our class routines and reviewed the geography of our country.
