Dear Parents of Grade 4's & 5's,
This week the students and I continued working on verbs in the present. I taught them how to find the "infinitif" of verbs and we started working on homonyms in French. It is always very difficult for students to remember how to conjugate verbs and they need to be practice them often to become better writers. I will add some websites where students can play games to practice their verb conjugation skills.
In Science the grade 4's made posters about the 4 R's of Recycling and the grade 5's continued learning about chemistry, particularly the separation of solids. The grade 5's did an experiment using rockets and different solutes to see which one is best to dissolve a candy.
The grade 5's must finish their science questions(in the gr.5's section of this blog) based on a handout I gave to Mme Brassard. The grade 4's must finish their poster and a handout about conserving water at home.
Take care,
Natalie

Hello parents and students,
It has been a few months since I have updated my blog. Sorry for the delay but we are now just getting back into the rhythm of school and I will continue posting every week about the subjects we are covering in class.
We have started 2 new units in Science. The grade 5's have started their chemistry unit. The students have already done a few in-class field trips related to this unit, so we they are familiar with some of the concepts. We started taking about mixtures and substances. The students were asked to separated mixtures using different methods. We will continue working on our chemistry unit until the end of the month.
The grade 4's are investigating ways our waste gets recycled. We have started a composting bin with worms and the students are encouraged to leave their organic waste in the box. Students will be investigating how we can better take care of our environment by implanting strategies to reduce, reuse and recycle waste.
We have also started working on conjugating verbs in the present. This should be a review for most students but I will continue to give homework regarding this topic as I feel students need more practice.
