Goal for the month of May.

Dear Parents,

Here is the goal for the month of May. Since we are using Google Drive as a tool in class, this month, at any time during the month, your child is responsible to read the following story below by using the program ‘Read & Write’. Your child needs to copy and paste onto another page (google document). The title needs to be your child’s name. The program (tool) has been thoroughly explained in class. Just a friendly reminder to add the extension of read & write to your Google Drive tools bar. It’s free! Here is a tutorial to help you add the extension of Read & Write:

Your child needs to share the recording of his/her reading with me in order for me to monitor my students’ reading fluency. Here is my email address: france.mathieu@ocsb.ca

I suggest that your child reads the story more than once before recording for his/her final evaluation.

Your child needs to:

-articulate the words

-read with expression

-read at a reasonable pace

Thank you for your continued support in helping your child succeed in learning a second and for some a third language.

Le Moyen-âge : les châteaux forts!

Le château fort est perché sur une hauteur,

dans un endroit difficile à attaquer.

Le château sert à protéger la région qui l’entoure.

Le château est bien gardé et il est difficile d’y entrer.

Il est entouré de murailles et de fossés remplis d’eau:

les douves.

Il faut passer le pont-levis pour entrer ; les gardes le

baissent et le lèvent avec de grosses chaînes.

Les hommes d’armes (soldats) montent la garde sur

le chemin de ronde (chemin en haut des remparts

qui fait le tour du château).

What's new?

What is new?:

-We have started our unit in Language Arts: 'Persuasive writing'. Here are some vocabulary that your child is saying when trying to persuade someone:

*Je crois que.... parce que....

*À mon avis.....

*Selon moi.....

*D'après moi....

*Je suis d'accord avec....

*Je ne suis pas d'accord avec...

-We are now practicing to conjugate verbs in 'ER' au présent. 

Here are activities for your child to play and learn.

Vimy presentation

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Your child had the opportunity recently to be a part of a presentation on the Battle of Vimy Ridge. A former SMY student had a wonderful experience being a tour guide for 4 months in Vimy. She discussed her experience as well as the history of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

Your child has participated in decorating a yellow ribbon by indicating the soldier`s name, rank, date of birth & death and where they lived. (The students who were absent today, will get a chance to decorate a ribbon tomorrow). Your child also wrote a message thanking the soldier who fought for our country.

On Saturday, April 1st at 9:30 a.m. over 200 high school students will be participating in the pilgrimage to Vimy Ridge, France and will also be tying 3598 yellow ribbons to The Vimy Memorial Bridge in Nepean (where Earl Armstrong turns into Strandherd at Prince of Wales Dr., Nepean). This will provide our city with a visual representation of the number of soldiers who died at Vimy Ridge for our freedom. Your child is welcome to attend The Ribbon Tying Event, but he/ she MUST be accompanied by at least one parent or legal guardian, as it is very close to busy roads.

Thank you for your support and consideration. We are very proud of our students.
