STEM Fair a.k.a Science Fair notice

Our STEM Fair is fast approaching. If your child is interested in participating in the STEM Fair this year, s/he may do so. Participation is optional in Grade 3 FI. I am asking the students to do the project at home. Templates will be provided for those who choose to participate. They can work with a friend, if they wish. The project will be done in English as students don’t have all the necessary French “Science” language at this time.

If your child is doing a Science Project for the STEM Fair, s/he can bring the completed project to the classroom Thurday, March 14th or Friday the 15th so we can put the final touches on it. Students will also practice presenting their project to their classmates.

The school STEM Fair will be held Tuesday, March 19th in the afternoon.The students will display their projects in their classroom. Parents are invited to visit the classrooms and view the projects.

*** Notice will be sent home Wednesday, February 13th ***

Notice sent home Tuesday February 12th

Dear parents,

These next few weeks in French, we will be talking about animals. We will be discussing and describing pets that we have at home or pets that we would like to have. We will also describe our pets’ temperament. Your child is more than welcome to bring in a picture of their pet or a favorite animal that s/he likes. If you wish, you can send me an e-mail with a pic attached (ryan.glazier@nbed.nb.ca). They can share their picture with the class. Examples of oral structures that will be introduced include: J’ai un lapin. Il s’appelle ___. Il a X ans. Je n’ai pas…Je veux avoir un ___ Mon animal préféré est…Il s’appelle ___. Il est gros. Il a X ans. Son corps est recouvert de ___ (poil, écaille, plumes). Mon ___ a de petites oreilles et les yeux ___. Ses yeux sont ___, ses oreilles sont ___. Mon animal est ___...(gentil, calme, excite, fidèle, heureux) We will make a class book about our animals to end the unit. I feel that the students really enjoy this part of the curriculum. We will have a busy, but fun few weeks.
