Bonjour!
For any parents who were unable to pick up items yesterday, the school will be open from 5-6 this evening. There are photos of "Lost and Found" items on the Blackville School Facebook Page. Any items from the 4/5D coatroom and classroom were packed up and placed in student bags. If you are still missing items such as clothing or water bottles, take a look at the pictures on the schools Facebook page.
Merci!

Bonjour mes amis!
I hope you are all doing well and keeping busy at home. Here is a simple French activity you can do at home. Please note: these are only options for those of you looking to keep up your French skills.
Something we have been working on in class is describing people, places and things. Why not practice telling me who is in your family. Let’s start simple.
Qui est dans ta famille?
Dans ma famille, il y a...
Exemple:
Dans ma famille, il y a 4 personnes. Ma mère Mary, mon père Tom, mon frère Jason et moi. J’ai aussi un chat qui s’appelle Manny.

Bonjour!
I hope everyone’s day is going well. I know we are off to a slow start with some technological issues but any new adventure has a few bumps in the road!
I wanted to send out a note to let you know that I am here for you with any issues you may have and to let you know there is no need to worry if you couldn’t access the school web page today. I am starting very slow and trying to make this transition as easy on students and parents as possible.
Given the tech issues we are having today, I probably will not reach out to parents and students for a day or two. This will give everyone a chance to get started and figure out what home learning might look like for them.
Moving forward, I am hoping to contact home on a weekly basis to touch base with my students and their families to see how things are going.
If possible, could parents please send me an e-mail with the best way to contact you (phone or e-mail) and if there are particular times that work best for you.
I would really enjoy speaking to my students over the phone. This will allow us to have some conversations in French but I understand not everyone is ready or comfortable with this yet. This is totally fine. I want to assure you that I am whiling to do whatever is best for my class.
I have posted a lot of information on my site today and moving forward I will try to condense my post and keep everything in one place if possible.
Please feel free to send me an e-mail if you need any log in or password information.
Thanks Again!
Merci!
Mlle Duffy

Dear parents and students,
Welcome to home learning opportunities for grade 4/5D. I hope you are finding yourselves happy, healthy and spending a lot of time at home with your family. This teacher page will be your main source of information concerning home learning opportunities. This is a new adventure for all of us and we will work together to make sure this opportunity runs as smoothly as possible for all students and their families.
Below, you will find some suggested activities you can do at home this week. Please keep in mind that my number one priority as your teacher is your health and happiness. I miss you all so much and can’t wait to touch base with you again this week.
If you have any questions, please contact me @ paula.duffy@nbed.nb.ca
French Literacy
Try to read for at least 10 Minutes in French each day (See below for links to websites you can use) except Friday. If you are unsure of your current reading level, check the book you have home or have your parents send me an e-mail and I will let you know. The most important thing this week is that you are reading books in French not the level you choose. So if a book interests you, go ahead and read it.
Epic Je Lis
Epic books (code vyu7884) Je lis
Epic Instructions for log in. Je lis log in
Epic video tutorial Je lis video tutorial
Journal Entry: Try to do one journal entry this week, you can use anything you want for a journal, loose leaf, notes on your iPad, word document anything you find. You can choose a topic of your choice or use the example posted on my teacher page. Do the best you can with French vocabulary and if you need help you can use Word Reference.
See Mrs. Moody's page for LA : http://blackville.nbed.nb.ca/teacher/mrs-moody
Math
Study your multiplication facts (PDF on my Teacher Page). This is a great opportunity for a review.
Try one of these sites to play Math games once a day 10 to 20 minutes.
Reflex Math (website here) (see document for new Log In )
Prodigy (see document for Log In) (website here click sign in)
Splash Math (see document for Log In) (website here) (class code: TRHDXL)
(Video Tutorial here)
Wellness, Physical and Emotional Ideas
Some examples of Physical and Emotional learning are:
Get active! Try to get outside or do 15 minutes of physical activity a day. Anything that brings you joy!
Have fun at home! Take a picture of yourself doing something fun or enjoying time with your family. Send those pictures to me by e-mail and I will post them on my teacher page.
Start a gratitude journal. Write down three things you are thankful for each day.
Get in touch with your artistic side. Draw or color a picture, make a craft out of items you can find in your house, use the snow as your canvas and make a picture in the snow. Get out some chalk and decorate your driveway.
Anything that makes you happy and puts a smile on your face fits in this category!
Here is a link to Mr. Sturgeon’s teacher page, there you will find many different ideas for this type of learning.
Posted: March 12, 2020
1) read
2) study spelling Quiz tomorrow
3) study multiplication facts. This is very important. Some students do not know their multiplication facts and the current unit of fractions will be very difficult to understand without this. These were assigned as homework at the beginning of second reporting period and it is expected that those who do not know them should be studying nightly. Please go over these with your child to gage if they need more practice and study at home.
Quiz tomorrow
3) sign spelling
4) sign math quiz
5) District STEAM Fest has been cancelled due to recent events.
6) Any students who did not return their uniforms to Mrs. Sobey, please do son as soon possible.
