Since it is only a three day week for students this week, there are no weekly words to study for a dictée this week. There is also no homework sheet to complete either. 

Students however should be bringing home last week's dictée to be signed either today or tomorrow. This also includes any past dictées that have yet to be brought home. 

Thanks!

The math homework for tonight is on a double-sided sheet with probability questions. The probabilities should be written as a fraction. 

The last question on page 99 is a little tricky. It is asking to draw and colour marbles in the bag so that the probability of randomly pulling out a green marble is higher than the probability of pulling out a red marble but lower than the probability of pulling out an orange marble. 

Questions 1a and 3a on page 99 ask to list all the possible outcomes.

Dictées: From now on at the end of each week on Friday, there will be a spelling "test" where I will ask students to spell out five words off the top of their head that they should know. This week the "test" will be on Thursday since there is no school for students on Friday. The following Monday I will hand back the dictée with a mark out of 5. Students will then bring it home to be looked at and signed. It's important for me to mention that these "tests" do not count towards their FI grade on their report card, however it is a way for me to ensure that students are studying their 5 words each week and learning how to spell them and understand their meaning. They will be given 5 new words at the beginning of each week. We did our first dictée last Friday, so they brought home one to be signed today. 

Études de Mots:  To help students practice using these new words, I will be sending home a sheet with different questions/activities that incorporate the weekly words. The words will be listed at the top of the sheet, and I will also post the 5 words on my teacher page every Monday. This sheet will only need to be handed in to me at the end of the week, so as we practice the words each day at school the activities on the sheet will become easier. This week it will be due on Thursday. 

I would encourage you to get your child to practice spelling these words each night to be comfortable and prepared for the "test" at the end of the week. 

This week the words are St. Patrick's Day themed: 

1. arc-en-ciel

2. or

3. lutin

4. vert

5. trèfle à quatre feuilles

Here is some guidance for the French part of the science projects. I told students today that I will not be able to help everyone with everything, but I encouraged them to ask me for help with any translating or how to put something in French so that it makes sense. I will do what I can to help at school. I can certainly help with titles for the projects. 

Here are the steps of the scientific method in French.  

1. Question: What are you looking to find out by performing your experiment? 

2. Hypothèse (hypothesis): A prediction of what you think the result of the experiment will be. It is an educated guess. Be sure to explain why you think something will happen or not happen. 

3. Matériaux (materials): What you need to perform the experiment, a list. 

4. Procédure (procedure): The steps of the experiment. 

5. Résultats (results): The outcomes of the experiment, what was observed or discovered. This is where your data and numbers come in to play. 

6. Conclusion: Explain in a couple of sentences what your results mean and represent for the experiment. Answer your initial question and be sure to state whether your hypothesis was correct or not.
