BONNE RENTRÉE SCOLAIRE!!!

Bonne fin d'année scolaire

Gr 4 Compositions

Students in Grade 4 have been using Garage Band to create a song that incorporates the elements of music (e.g., timbre, dynamics, tempo). Students have been composing melodies of their own and recording them on paper to help them play.

Gr 5 Songs created by Garage Band

These songs were inspired by our school yard. Students were asked to listen when in our yard, and use instruments to represent the sounds they hear. Some have even captured the sounds of the yard and incorporated them into their composition.

Collecting money until this Thursday (day of Jump Rope for Heart)!

Les chansons de 6e - utilisant Garage Band

Gr 6's have been creating songs using the Garage Band app. Students are eager to listen to each others songs, so here they as they are still being finalized and uploaded on my SoundCloud account. So far they sound innovative!

Les explorateurs (mini-project)

With the implementation of the new Social Studies curriculum, both Grade 5 and 6 FSL Extended classes have been learning about Canadian explorers. For our final task, students were able to research about a Canadian Explorer and present their research using the Doceri App. During the research process students kept a Google Document of their findings. The Google Doc was shared with me and I was able to monitor their progress while giving them feedback. The Doceri app allows students to visualize their content (choosing and adding the appropriate photos to accompany their text) and record themselves reading the text they have written.

Below are the playlists for both classes. As students complete their projects, they will be uploaded.
