April 20-24

I hope everyone is doing ok!  Ms. Kerry is now doing weekly announcements on Flipgrid! Here is the link: https://flipgrid.com/bf58c60d  Also, we are going to have Spirit Days on Fridays with the first one being to wear your St. Francis wear! Feel free to send me a photo of you participating in Spirit days that I can share on Class Dojo and Twitter!

Here is this week's work. As always, message me on Dojo or e-mail me if you have any questions!

Grade 4: 

1) Please go to your Social Studies folder in your Google Drive. A reading has been shared in a Google Doc about daily life in Ancient Greece. The document is called "La Grèce ancienne de Lysandre".
2) There is a flipgrid of me reading the document and explaining some words and concepts from the reading. Please listen to it before or as you read the document. (Link is on the document).
3)There is second Google Doc in your Social Studies folder with questions to be answered about the reading.  Please write in full sentences if you can.
4) Next, for Science please write in your journal a list at least three or more examples of light (natural or man made).  Then close your eyes and listen for at least three or more sounds that you hear inside or outside of your house.  Write those down too! Please look up any words you don't know in French using wordreference.com
5) Finally, send me an e-mail. You must have a subject and then a message. Please tell me two truths and a lie about yourself in the e-mail and I will try to guess which is the lie! Watch this video for how to do this.
6) On Friday, complete the survey about this week's work that I will send to your e-mail.

Optional: If you would like to do extra work, please continue to do Duolingo, a  regular journal entry or coding. Also, I recommend watching episodes of "Mythic Warriors- Guardians of the Legend" available on Youtube which is an old animation series produced by Canada and France about the Greek Myths. Unfortunately, these are only available in English that I have been able to find.  Here is a link to one of the videos.

Grade 5: 

1) Finish working on the project "Les inventions autochtones".  You will need to look at last week's instructions. Here are two examples of student work for those unsure what to do (you will need to sign into your student Google account to see them):  Example 1  Example 2

2) Monthly presentations: If you did not finish your monthly presentation before March Break, please complete it (Ton film, ton acteur ou ton chanteur (groupe de musique) préféré).

3) Download Screencastify if you don't already have it.  Here is the link:  https://www.screencastify.com/  Play around with it this week after you have installed it to try and familiarize yourself with how it works. 

4) Finally, send me an e-mail. You must have a subject and then a message. Please tell me two truths and a lie about yourself in the e-mail and I will try to guess which is the lie! Watch this video for how to do this.

5) On Friday, complete the survey about this week's work that I will send to your e-mail.



Optional:

If you finished most of this week's work last week, you can continue working on April's presentation (Ton sport préféré d’été, d’hiver ou les deux).  I will cancel May's presentation and have one last presentation in June which will be free choice. Presentations will be made using Screencastify. I WILL GIVE MORE TIME NEXT WEEK TO FINISH AND RECORD THESE PRESENTATIONS.

If you would like to do extra work, please continue to do Duolingo. You may also choose to watch some of the short "Cinq" videos like we did in class. Here is the link: https://www.idello.org/en/resource/8907-Cinq  In your journal, tell me which you watched and  two or three facts you heard.
