All groups worked extremely well together -

 what creativity, cooperation and teamwork! 

Well done everyone!

From the Math Department...

This week we have been working with coordinates on the Cartesian plane by playing games and following a list of ordered pairs to complete the mystery picture.

In ELA this week, we read about and discussed KINDNESS. 

Students then put together a list poem giving the Top Ten Ways to be Kind.

Adopt a Sea Turtle!

Inspired by a Speechtastic speech about sea turtles, 6F1 voted to adopt a sea turtle through the World Wildlife Fund.

WWF Adopt a Sea Turtle

If each student contributes 2$, we could easily reach the 55$ fundraising goal!

Mme McKenzie will collect the money and order the adoption kit.
 

The 12 Days of Giving!

Ecole Golden Gate has the Giving Spirit! 

Each day of the 12 Days of Giving has been assigned one or more food items that are designated as the 10 MOST WANTED items by either The Christmas Cheerboard or Winnipeg Harvest.

We added two extra days to include presents and baby needs as they are also important items that are more challenging to get due to their costs.

Your job: To contribute whatever you can!

Each item you bring equals 1 point for your homeroom.  

Even though the costs differ, it's doing what you can that counts because it's the act of giving that matters most, not the cost.

 So, give what you can! Let's help others in our community!

Day 1 (Dec 2): Canned meat or fish

Day 2 (Dec 3) : 1 L of 100% Fruit Juice

Day 3 (Dec 4): Canned fruits or veggies

Day 4 (Dec 7): Brown Rice or Whole Wheat Pasta

Day 5 (Dec 8): Chili, Beans or Stew

Day 6 (Dec 9): Juice, tea or coffee

Day 7 (Dec 10): Cereal, oatmeal, pancake mix or syrup

Day 8 (Dec 11): Cranberry sauce or stuffing

Day 9 (Dec 14): New, unwrapped presents for any age children, moms or dads

Day 10 (Dec 15): Sugar, flour, cake mix, cookies, candies

Day 11 (Dec 16): Baby food, formula or diapers

Day 12 (Dec 17): Soup

It's time for another Speechtastic!

CFOO!

In Français, we have started CFOO (Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 

This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short presentations.
There are fifteen different presentations, separated into three categories: Research, Opinion and Creativity.
Each student chooses one and prepares their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the pages they have in their binder).
Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.
The presentation could take on various forms: a speech, a poster, a puppet play, etc. - the possibilities are endless!

The first CFOO will take place on Monday, November 9th. 

Homework Alert!

The Math Quiz is tomorrow:  Monday, November 2nd!

Here's what students need to know:

-how to find the plus grand facteur commun (pgfc) of two or more numbers
-the difference between a nombre premier and a nombre compose
-how to solve a problem using multiples
