Bonjour, Week 7!

Hello! Happy Monday!
Week 7 is here!

A few announcements for the week:

1. Reminder of Teams Meetings:
* Whole class weekend sharing / weekly check-in meeting Monday mornings (so, this morning) at 10:00. Attendance is not mandatory, but strongly encouraged! :) We may even have a few guest teachers joining us today, so try your best to pop in and say hello! :)

* Math and Français support is on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 - 10:30.
(Drop-in format - Join if you like, when you like, for as long as you like, within the time frame.)
*Please make sure you have what you need with you before connecting during these sessions (ex: papers, pencil, etc.) Please also ensure you have already followed the lessons (videos, examples) in Showbie prior to popping in; this will ensure we can focus on specific questions that aren't understood, rather than asking, "Mme, what do I do with these pages?" I am happy to help however I can - and by taking time to be prepared, we can ensure everyone's questions can be heard and answered during these times. :)

* One-on-One: I am happy to set appointments with any students who would like to connect one-on-one Friday mornings. Please reach out to me by email or drop me a note in Showbie (there is now a new "Request an appointment" assignment in the Microsoft TEAMS folder for this purpose) and I will follow up with you to make it happen! *If Friday mornings do not work well for you, please let me know and we can work together to find another time slot that works for both of our schedules. :)

2. Please make sure you sign up for a writing conference for your 'Biographie' text once your typed draft has been submitted.  (More info posted below under Français - Biographie.)

3. New "Assignment Questions" folder in Showbie.
I have created a new "Assignment Questions" folder in Showbie. I am hoping that this will help us keep on top of any questions and answers that pop up while completing different tasks. I do my best to monitor all questions and comments in all assignments as they come in, but I know that sometimes I find them and reply way later than I would like or they get missed completely, which is not very helpful. Assignments can still be handed in in the same way, but I'm hoping the new "Questions" folder will help me respond to questions more efficiently. Thank you for help (and patience)!

I think that's it for now! Let's have a great week! :)

Fait de la semaine: L'oeil de l'autruche est plus gros que son cerveau.

MATHÉ

*Concepts: L'égalité!

Nous commençons une nouvelle unité aujourd'hui: La préservation des égalités. Suivre la courte leçon affiché en Showbie.

{ We are starting a new unit in Math today: The preservation of equality. Please see the short intro lesson posted in Showbie. }

*Problème de la semaine: Un nouveau défi!

Chercher vos feutres Expo et préparer pour une nouvelle question!
Travailler la question et afficher une photo en Showbie pour partager votre progrès. Les indices vont affichées pendant la semaine. Une réponse finale n'est pas nécéssaire; c'est plutôt le processus qui est important. 
Amusez-vous!

{Get your Expo markers ready for a new "write on your window / whiteboard / mirror / other-erasable-surface question! Work on the question throughout the week and post a picture in Showbie to show your progress. Hints will be posted as the week goes on. Note: A final "correct" answer isn't the goal; the focus is on the process and exploring many different options. Have fun!}

L'échiquier énigmatique
Il y a combien de carrés sur un échiquier? Combien de rectangles?
* Un échiquier a 64 cases.

The Chessboard
How many squares are on a chessboard? How many rectangles?

Écriture - Biographie: 

Les conférences de révisions vont commencer le mercredi de cette semaine.

Une fois que ton brouillon est affiché en Showbie, inscrire pour un rendez-vous dans le dossier "Français - Écriture; Conférences de révisions." (Plus de détails sont affichés là.) S.v.p. : Ne prend pas une conférence le même jour que tu remets ton texte; il faut que j'ai un peu de temps à lire ton texte avant que nous réunissons. Si tu as déjà remis ton texte, tu es prêt d'enregistrer pour un temps qui te convient. 
J'ai hâte à lire vos textes avec vous! 🙂

{ Writing conferences for Biography revisions will begin Wednesday of this week. Once your rough draft has been submitted to Showbie, please sign up for a conference time in the "Français - Écriture; Conférences de révisions" folder in Showbie. (More information is posted there). One request: please do not submit your text and request a conference for editing for the same day - I will need some to time to read and do a first edit before we meet. Ex: If you submit your text on Wednesday morning at 10:00, please do not choose an editing conference for the same Wednesday morning at 11:00! If you text is already submitted, you're ready to sign up for any slot available! I'm looking forward to meeting with each of you to discuss your writing! 🙂 }
