La classe de Mme Nielsen

 

 

 Hi all, Here is an image of the calendar of work we're doing in class by due date. Your child should be able to explain what each item is. If not, please have them speak to me. I intend to update this calendar periodically. It does not have the other information about events and activities happening in our class or our school, so that homework and things to study are easier to find.

 On Friday, I sent home emails to parents regarding missing work. If you did not get an email, your child is either caught up or was away and I need to follow up with them before I send notification home or you already know why. Here is the list of the 8 items I was chasing during our multiple work periods yesterday.  The ALPIN (French reading assessment about sugar) This is hard copy only The math evaluation that we started at the same time as the ALPIN This is hard copy only Their English Novels notebook with chapter questions 1-10 for Touching Spirit Bear answered inside The questions and a PDF of the book are available on your child's Google Classroom Their French autobiographical poem The template, which was distributed in hard copy and explained, is available on your child's Google Classroom Their math word problem sheet (double sided) with problems about leaf collections This sheet was handed out in hard copy, the front side could be done with a partner, the back individ

 

 Hi folks,  Just thought I'd let you know what we do each week, so you know where to focus your attention at home in the evenings and want to do school-y stuff. Mondays  Spiralundi. This is a quick 5 question math review quiz-like deal that checks on the retention of all concepts since the beginning of the year. We did our first one this week, and it looked a lot like last week's math quiz because, well, that's all we'd done so far.  Practice for the math quiz. Is exactly what it sounds like. I give them a practice quiz, we correct it together, and they keep it so they know a) what the quiz is going to look like, format-wise, and b) so they know where to focus their last-minute studying. Gym. Wear/bring appropriate attire. Skirts are not ideal on this day. Tuesdays Math quiz. Pro-tip, it's going to look a LOT like the practice quiz. Usually, the questions are the same, just with different numbers being used. I'm not looking to trick anyone, and it's way more

 Howdy, folks, Here is the summary of what's coming up this week... Work that has already been assigned and is coming due: Social studies reflection questions about privilege are due tomorrow (Monday) and are available on Google Classroom (assigned last Tuesday) Art shape sheets (2 of circles, squares, or triangles) are also due tomorrow (assigned last Tuesday) French idea sort into broader categories, plus listing "what the haters gonna say" is due tomorrow. This started on Wednesday when I asked the kids to pick a topic that was going to incite a reaction (my sample topic was "Soccer is LAME!" You should have heard the reaction!) and then list 15 reasons why they are right. Thursday I asked them to put their ideas into like-topic groupings, and declare the "bigger" idea that those ideas belong to. Also, what would someone who disagrees with them say?  Science has a project due on February 19th about the 3 laws of motion. There is information about th

 So, I had a couple of really great questions come up today regarding sick kids. Here's what I can share for now... When should we keep our kids home? Well, here is the information from the SD68 stage-2 start-up plan , specifically page 9: And the note from the Medical Health Officer for the Central Region of Vancouver Island Health Authority with the new health check for kids that was sent to parents this week: Where can I get the work for my sick kid? Umm. Well. I'm hoping to get them connected to Google Classroom sometime in the next week or so, plus my website for certain things, and here on the blog for others. Really, a sick kid probably mostly just needs sleep and a book to read. Try to keep some books on hand in both English and French (Scholastic is a good source...) for those unexpected days home when they're almost well enough to go to school. I know that's not really very concrete for an answer, but it's what I've got at the moment. **Side note, all
