Feb 28

Today we had a surprise lockdown and I am super proud of how well everyone handled it.
In French we spoke about carnivorous plants and the differences between them. We then started a class novel study called Où sont les ours? (Where are the bears?)

Ask me what the following words or sentences mean:
Papier tue-mouches.
Les plantes carnivores se nourrissent en partie d'insectes.
Certaines plantes ont des fleurs très collantes.
Attirer: Les couleurs et les odeurs qu'elle dégage attirent les insectes
Dépaysé: Il n’avait jamais vu une montagne. Il se sentait complètement dépaysé.
Essentiel:  On dit que les choses importantes sont essentielles
Vide: Il n’y a rien dans le panier - c’est vide.

We worked on our journals and did some social studies in which we compared some traditional Ukrainian festivals with the celebrations we have in our homes.

Science

Recently we have been working with Google drive to try and get students more used to using technology. We have been researching animal hearing and we are planning to put this information into a Google slide or Google Doc. Students should have their login information at home, but should you require it, please send me an email and I can give you your login information.

Students are asked to work on their project over the weekend. It needn't be long, the idea is to just get students used to copying, pasting, searching and generally getting used to working with the Google Drive platform. 

Things to consider:- What frequencies is your chosen animal able to hear?- How are their ears better or worse than humans? How are they different?
- Try and include some pictures and/or a video related to the hearing of your animal if you can find it. Pictures may be hand drawn or off the internet. 

When finished it can be shared with me on parichardson@educbe.ca. by hitting share in the google drive platform.

If you have plans this weekend and will not be able to work on it this weekend, it’s ok if it comes sometime next week. 

Wishing you all a lovely weekend,

Mr. R
