Notes

I hope everyone is having a nice week and enjoying the heat outside, I know I sure am! Just a few things I wanted to mention... 

1. If you haven't yet registered for the Virtual Olympics, it is not too late! It begins on Monday, May 25th, so fill out this form if you are interested and haven't yet! It is sure to be a blast and a fun way to get outside and stay active!

2. If any 7M families would like a copy of the yearbook, please email me and let me know as soon as possible. 6J families you can contact Mme. Yake if you would like a yearbook. 

3. For the yearbook, we are looking at having a section for photos from COVID-19/Home Learning. It would be great if each family could upload a picture or two of family/siblings at home to the following link. Wearing school colours is encouraged as well!

That is all for now, thanks! 

Here are the game themes for this week:

Monday - Fractions

Tuesday - Planets

Wednesday - Transportation

Thursday - Poetry 

Friday - Turtles

 

*Sorry I'm late posting the themes this week, for some reason I never received an email on the weekend to update me on the upcoming week's themes. Have fun! :)

For students in 6J and 7M, our classes are registered on DreamBox. This gives you another resource to practice math lessons/concepts. It is a reinforcement to Netmath, which will still be the main website I would like you to learn on since it provides lessons in French. Check out the corresponding file below for your class and the steps to access your account, with the necessary class code.

6J: Once you log into the site, you will see that I have assigned a couple of lessons that focus on percents, similar to the ones you've been practicing on Netmath. These lessons will help to reinforce what we've been learning during the past couple of weeks. Look for the lessons marked with a blue calendar. 

7M: Once you log into the site, you will see that I have assigned a couple of lessons that focus on points on a cartesian plane. There were no available lessons on probability, therefore these lessons are a preview for what we will be focusing on next week. Feel free to give them a try in the meantime. Look for the lessons marked with a blue calendar.

Here are some fun, hands-on numeracy activities that have been compiled by the district that you can try as well! Be sure to look at the last page of the documents for the middle school tasks. I have included this week's and last week's documents. The outdoor challenge to measure the height of a tree seems really interesting, I'm curious about that one!

Enjoy!

Happy Victoria Day Raiders!

Looks like a beautiful week of sunshine coming our way! I have provided a variety of home learning opportunities this week, but feel free to pick and choose certain activities and don't feel obligated to complete everything. Find time to spend outside with family, and I included some activities that can be done outside as well! Have fun and don't forget to stay active!

As always, I'm only an email away! 

Have an awesome week! :) 

The Virtual Olympics is an exciting opportunity put together by the district for anyone who wants to get outside and stay active! It sounds like a lot of fun! I encourage all students to participate! 

Here is a link to the registration form that you can fill out:

Week 5 of Home Learning already! 

I hope everyone enjoys this week's learning opportunities. As always, I encourage everyone to share with their class on Teams things that they've done and learned. 

7M students don't forget we will have our class chat on Teams at 2pm on Thursday, May 7th. 

Take care everyone! 

Here are the themes for this week for the Breakout EDU Live trivia games: 

Monday - Periodic Table

Tuesday - Multiplication

Wednesday - Colours

Thursday - State Geography (this would be a tough one since we don't live in the United States)

Friday - Space Travel (I thought every Friday was a surprise theme, but I guess not)

 

Live games are at 3pm. You can always play past games as well. Good luck!
