April 27-May 1

I hope everyone is doing ok!  Please note that I have decided to hold "Office Hours" every Tuesday for students to go on Google Meet to ask questions about the work, check in or just chat say "bonjour" to me. Grade 4s will be from 12:00-12:20 and Grade 5s will be from 12:30-12:50. I will see how many join and if the time is enough after trying it this week. It is completely optional. Email invitations will be sent a few minutes before the Meet starts.

Here is this week's work:

Grade 4s:

1) You will find a Google Doc in your Social studies folder in your Google Drive called "La Grèce ancienne et moi". You must fill in the comparison between someone who lived in Ancient Greece and you in modern times. You cannot copy and paste the sentences, but must retype them under the correct column.

2) Try this Quizziz based on the work from the Google doc (Please use your student e-mail account or your actual name). You may try two times. That will wrap up Ancient Greece for now.

3) For science, watch this video showing a simple experiment about the composition of light. Watch it two or three times and then try this Quizziz to answer questions about what you saw/learned. You can try the quiz two times.

Optional:
Duolingo, journal entry, coding in French. Also, you may try an experiment with light at home and write about it in your journal or e-mail me.

Google Meet at 12:00 on Tuesday if you have questions or want to say "bonjour" :)

Grade 5s: 

1) You will present your monthly presentation using Screencastify (that you hopefully downloaded and tried last week). Watch this video for how to do that. (You must be signed into your student google account to watch. You will also get a bit of information about La Nouvelle France as that is the example slide deck I use so please be sure to watch!)

* (If you prefer, or the Screencastify is not working for you, you may have someone record you presenting your slides on an ipad or chromebook instead of using screencastify. Upload the video to your Google Drive and share it with me. If you have another way you would prefer to present, by all means, do that as long as you can share it with me.)

2) For Science, please watch the following video and answer questions as you go along: La digestion

3) I have set everyone set up on A-Z reading.  You can get the Kids A-Z app on an ipad, tablet or phone or you can go to your Student Portal and access RazKids (or raz-kids.com) and click on "Kids login". Username (Teacher) is Fraschool and I will send you an email with your password Monday morning.  Go to the "Reading Room" to access the French leveled readers. I have assigned you a general level, but you can access levels below and above depending how difficult or easy you are finding the books.  I will be able to see which and how many books you read.

Optional:
You can do duolingo, a journal entry or some coding in French on code.org (I prefer Angry Birds, Minecraft or Flappy bird for actual use of French coding.)

Google Meet at 12:30 on Tuesday if you have questions or want to say "bonjour!" :)
