Keep up the great work gr6's!!  Here's what the last game looked like:

Electricity Project Details...

Bonjour! There is no need to work on your Science project at home. Some students asked if they could do some work at home. Yes, they can if they wish but sufficient time is given at school for all to complete! In case you do want to do a bit of work at home, I posted a link to our checklist below... and, there are more details on the copy shared with you on your Google drive. As always, if you have questions, ask!! :-)  M.K.

French Test Results!

Bonjour les étudiants et étudiantes!

Results from the French test were handed out to students today, Mon.January, 25th. You do not need to hand them back in, but please take a moment to look at the results. Also please discuss with your child the answer he or she provided to the last question concerning the amount of time studied. Out of 25 students who wrote the test, 15 received a grade of B+ or higher for the first part and 13 students achieved a grade of B+ or higher for the second part. Students who took the time to review the study sheet shared two weeks ago did very well. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.  Merci! M. Kennedy

Homework, from Jan.11th to . Jan. 20th. Les Conjugaisons!

Bonjour les étudiants!

              We have been working on conjugaisons of verbs in class. There is a test on Wednesday, Jan. 20th in the afternoon. Look at the ''Conjugaisons Test Preparation'' document shared with you in your Hapara folder to prepare yourself for the test. We went over it carefully all together today.

Review this document carefully. If you do some review and practice for 20 minutes four evenings this week and on Monday and Tuesday of next week, there is no reason you should not 'ACE' this test! 

Ideas for study:
        -Look at the examples of questions provided. The same kind of questions will be asked in the test. Test yourself!
        -Have someone help you out and ask you questions.
        -Study with a partner. Try and come up with 10 questions on your own and answer them!
        -Use a white board (or lined paper) to copy the Mr&Mrs Vandertramp list or any other part.
        -Visit www.conjugaison.com and look at many different verbs and check out the endings of these verbs for Indicatif: présent, passé composé, futur simple et imparfait.
        -Check out this website (and short video about using être or avoir in passé composé): How-To-Conjugate-French-Verbs
        -Practice playing French verb games, click on the link: French Verb Games

If you don't understand something it is very important that you ask questions in class. I am here to help you succeed.  Bonne chance! M. Kennedy

French Immersion Homework TWO weeks up to Dec. 18th

Bonjour mes chers/chères étudiants/étudiantes!

For homework these next two weeks leading up to the Christmas Holidays:

1. Prepare for this Friday's White Elephant Sale. Start by reading the previous posted blog.
2. This is a busy time for families. Many of you already help quite a bit at home. That is wonderful! Your task is to find out how else you can help at home. Can you help with household chores (dishes, cleaning your room etc.)? Maybe you can help a sibling with homework? How can you help your Mom or Dad prepare for Christmas? Talk to them, see if there are any jobs you can help with in and around the house. Make a list of helpful chores you can do to contribute to your family for the next two weeks. Spend time completing chores each day. :-)
3. Do something nice for someone every day during this Advent season! Keep a door open for someone walking through. Greet someone by looking at them in the eyes and saying: ''Hello!''. Thank someone for something they did for you.

Optional French homework (mandatory homework will resume in January):
4. Keep reading in French and recording it on your Défi-Lecture worksheet that is kept in your agenda.
5. Choose one of the tasks from the list we generated to help improve your French. Track it on your Hapara document.

                                Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année 2016!   M.K.

White Elephant Sale: help needed! Please read...

Friday, December 4th, 2015

Dear Parents:

This year the Grade 6 students and teachers are holding our school’s third annual White Elephant Sale on Friday, December 11th, to raise funds for our advent hampers as well as our end of the year field trip.  We are asking the St. Cecilia School community to donate gently used, clean items prior to December 10th.  The Grade 6 students and teachers will be sorting donations into different categories to make shopping more convenient.  Categories include:  books, toys, stuffed animals, CDs, movies, puzzles, games, Christmas knickknacks, jewelry (no used earrings please), crafts and household items.  We will not be accepting clothing or footwear.  Last year was a success due to the excitement of the students as they found bargains to bring home and the generosity of the families who took the time to find items at home suitable for our sale.

We will be happy to accept donations of gently used, clean items anytime now up until December 10th in our Grade 6 classrooms or at the office.  On Friday, December 11th, each class will have the opportunity to come to the gym and shop.  Items will be marked in increments of 25 cents and most likely will be priced in the range of 25 cents to $5.  This may be an opportunity for young students to do some Christmas shopping.  In the meantime, please look through ‘no longer needed items’ in your home and consider donating to our White Elephant Sale.  We would also greatly appreciate donations of wrapping paper, tissue paper and gift bags.  This is in keeping with our gospel value of stewardship of the environment. Remember that ‘one person’s junk is another person’s treasure’.

With thanks in advance,

The Grade 6 Teachers

Thank you all so much for your support and generosity!!

The Grade 6 Team!!!!
