Mrs. Murphy Notes

Grade 6/7M, 6H & 5/6 English Language Arts

Notes

Posted: April 15, 2019

Tomorrow is twin day. Twins do not need to be in the same class.

 

We have started a science unit on plants. The reading passage they have is difficult but we read it several times this afternoon and discussed it for comprehension. We will practice it again in class tomorrow and the more they see and use the vocabulary in different contexts the easier it will get.

 

Students have high frequency words in their reading journal which they should be practicing nightly. As in English students need to know these words at a glance to be able to read fluently.

 

We have started the 3X tables today. Students should be studying the 0-2X tables and practice counting by 3’s to 36.

 

Again students should be making corrections in their problem of the day scribbler and all problems in that duo-tang should be completed with an equation and the answer in a sentence.

Just a reminder that taking notes and copying from the board is an important skill to practice. I expect that if your child does not have their homework all down that they do it as part of their homework.

Quizzes are meant to help me and you to understand what your child is able to do on their own and where they need more practice. I will return to concepts we have already covered from time to time to see what the children have retained and will provide extra practice and time working on the skills for those who need it.

    Où se cache l'oeuf? – read - Students will finish the book by adding the eggs and the fence where they go.

    Example of the pair story :

    3 - Mme Murphy - pantoufles - singe

    Trois singe ont acheté des panoufles pour eux-méme.

    Combien des pantoufles en tout?

    3 X 2 = 6

    Il y a six pantoufles.

    Your child has a page of double digit subtraction with regrouping to finish. We will continue to re-visit this concept and others to solidify understanding.

We spent some time this morning talking about our names and where they came from. I expect that every child will have something to share with the class tomorrow even if it is as simple as my mother/ father (or whoever) liked it.

I have added the 2X tables to the list to start studying but we did not finish the activity I planned on finishing today so just study the 0 and 1’s for now.

We started the chart on page 211 together in class and the students had time to copy it and work on it in class. The terminology they will need for column 3 is on page 209.

Tomorrow is credit union day.

See the new video of the days of the week that I have downloaded. Your child should know these.

We played a dice game in math this afternoon doing repeated addition and relating it to multiplication. It would be great if your child would play a few rounds at home and explain it to you.

It is expected that your child will bring home the same practice books multiple times to read to help improve fluency. One of the most common errors they are continuing to make is pronouncing the final constantans on words. As a general rule of thumb the only constantans that are pronounces are c, r, f & l. Many students are having a problem with the <s>.

If your child has added sheets in their reading journal they should be practicing what is on them on a nightly bases. (sight words and/or alphabet)

As we move into the final term of grade 3 I will be putting more emphasis on presentation and neatness of work so you may also see the occasional piece of work come home that says "Prends ton temps et décis-les encore." This simply means take your time and do it again.

Students added a copy of O’Canada to their vocabulary binders today. As in English there are exceptions to phonetic rules but in general in French the only consonants that are pronounced at the end of a word are c, r, f & l. Students are struggling with the s, so when they read or sing this to you, you could listen for the s at the end of words and point out where they are using them. We missed library on Tue with skating and making beans so students will be going tomorrow. The children are permitted to sign out two books, a French one and an English one and as you know they should be reading in both languages on a daily basis.

We had a busy day. The students went skating with Ms. Gallant as I am no longer able to put on my skates. We made baked beans for lunch and most of the students tried them. Baked beans were a staple in many French homes and are a good source of protein. This activity was incorporated into our health and math curriculum as we had to measure and we have been working with the new Canadian Food Guide.

We have been working on a piece of writing about spring and I have asked students to bring home their duo-tang to share their draft. Many have finished their good copy but a few are still working on the draft. This should be done by now.

We have started working with multiplication. We have done a considerable amount of skip counting and have done some work involving repeated addition. Today we did an activity to help the students understand why zero times anything equals zero. They should now add the zero times tables to the list of facts they are practicing.

We went to a production of Kalimba this morning, ask your child about it. The musical production was lively and interactive with the message that we are all unique.

le 18 mars,

We are talking about how to keep ourselves healthy ask your child to tell you one thing they can do “in French”. We have also looked at the new Canadian Food Guide and have incorporated it into our fractions unit. Ask your child to explain the plate they have completed. We have been working on food vocabulary since September so they should be able to name many items on their plate. Students are expected to bring the plates back to present to their class.

Homework

Lire et partager – 3 livre

Pratique l’alphabet – students should be able to sing the alphabet, say random letters when they are pointed to and spell their first and last names quickly and fluently in French. (almost like they do in English)

le 13 mars

lire et partage - 3 livres (as when they were learning to read english repetition is important for fluency thus your child will often be bringing the same books home to practice), vocabulaire (this binder is meant to be practical so it is important to review what is in it often so students will be able to refer to it quickly and easily when needed)

étude -faits de maths - addition et soustraction, singée ton dictée - corrections 10X

Maths - problem du jour, pg 199 - 1, 2, 3 & 6

Guided Reading - Max and Jacog have <Encore plus grand> to practice at home. They will have this book for 3-4 days and should continue practicing it.

le 12 mars

lire et partager - 3 livres - les sons (sounds duo-tang) - students should read the last entry in their duo-tang and review a few other pages)

étude - faits de maths - addition et soustraction ( they should be able to recognize combinations of 10's and know their doubles instantly)

maths - problem du jour (students have the answer and they need to create a problem. They can use previous problems to help them do this. We did several examples together in class.)

         - singée ton dictée - correction 10X

         - pg. 139 - 140 1, 2, 3, 6 & 7 (Again we did this together orally in class and did the problems together on the smartboard so students should be able to do these pages on their own and understand what they are expected to do.)

Guided Reading - Carter, Travis, Miriam, Isabella & Addyson have <C'est l'heure du dejeuner> to practice at home. They will have this book for 3-4 days and should continue practicing it.

Posted: March 11, 2019

If your child does not have their homework down in their agenda I expect that they finish writing it down as part of their homework. Copying notes is a skill and needs to be practiced.

The following students, Quintin, Sydney, Ava & Randy, are bringing home a guided reading book called <le bonhomme de neige> to practice.  The same guided reading books will go home for 3-4 nights to allow students to become fluent with the text.

Homework

lire et partager - 3 livre et mots fréquents (read and share - 3 books and high frequency words)

étude - faits de math - addition et soustraction (study addition and subtraction math facts)

Math - problem du jour, singée ton dictée - correction 10 X, pg 187 - 2, 3, 4 (problem of the day, sign math quiz and write corrections out 10X each - math pg 187 - questions 2, 3 & 4)

We did the math page together orally and some of the key words that are needed to answer the questions are on page 181.

Don't forget the bedtime story challenge. See the Nelson School Information page on FB for further details on this initative.
