February 21st

Year Book:  If you have not done so already, please order your year book by paying for it online or in the main office.  Online payment can be accessed at MyCBE/PowerSchool under "School Based Optional Fees".

Science:
New marks were entered in Power School. Students received their quiz back and as always, were encouraged to bring them home to share with parents. In chemistry, we are continuing to learn about the scientific process through a variety of experiments.

FLA:
This week we worked on the "Discours Oratoire". Here are the guidelines and the rubric : Discours Oratoire. Students will start presenting on March 2nd. Even if two periods a week are scheduled to work on this project, I would advise students to work on it at home. We also talked about Black history month on Friday. Next week, students will read the third and forth chapter of "La créature du marais" and they will have two more periods in class to complete their research for the Speech Contest.

A spelling bee contest has been announced. If students want to participate, here is the list of words for the "Concours d'épellation". The finals will be during the week of March 9th.

Social Studies:
This week we finished this chapter about the Interior Plains and started the study guide and the correct answers are here. The quiz will be Tuesday, February 25. Next week we will start our second last Canadian Region : The Cordillera.

ELA:
Students are working on a 3-5 minute presentation with Google slides.  Their slides must follow the following design principles:
-1 message per slide
-no more than 6 objects per slide
-short sweet text
-dark backgrounds and use contrast to your advantage
-size matters (most important part of slide should be biggest)

It is highly recommended that they practice what they are going to say for their presentation in front of an audience at home.  This is a speaking assignment, so reading off a script is not allowed.  Point form prompts are fine.  Presentations will likely start on Wednesday next week.

Rubric: Presentation Rubric
