Herzl's Personal JourneyIn Jewish studies, we were tasked with creating Herzl's personal journey through three entries and a visual Representation. First, you can look at my visual Representation https://www.canva.com/design/DAG4mQbRfeo/-E4c_GlYDeF9P0Wty4lGfQ/view?utm_content=DAG4mQbRfeo&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=hcc5c9f1227 ...

Jewish studies projectFor my Theodor Herzl project we did three journal entries and a collage of photos Entry 1 As a child, I wanted to be a great writer, my aspirations shifted as I grew older, but not by much. Although I had big dreams about my job, never did I imagine that my family life would be like this. I married my wife, Julie Naschauer, in 1889, and things went well. At the start. Julie and I are always fighting. Why can’t she just realize that I am right and she is wrong? Every time that I tell her that, she snaps back because she is so quick-tempered. Doctors say that she has hysteria and depression, apparently because I neglect her and am always away for work. But my work is important, and I don’t ask to be taken away from my family, but that's how it is. Julie does not support my work, and I don't see why not, because my work matters so much to me, and if she loves me, it should matter to her too, right? Wrong, she does not even like my mother, whom I love so much; my mother supports me so much, whereas Julie does not. I wish she could support me, but I can’t make her care....

Grade 5 Music UpdateHello Grade 5 Families, Here is an update of what we have been up to in Grade 5 Music so far this year. We began our year with some simple fun with music, by learning two new songs, in order to sing all together with the rest of the school at our first assembly. We learned the Beatles’ “ObLaDi ObLaDa” as well as the Hebrew song “Acheinu”. We spoke about the meaning of the songs, which relate to family and people we care about. The Grade 5 class was also tasked with creating their own verse for “ObLaDi ObLaDa” that relates to something positive at OJCS. Here is an example of one verse from one of our students....

Grade 1 Music UpdateHello Grade 1 families, Grade 1 music has been fun and educational this year and the students have really been involved and participating well! We began our year slowly, as there were many interruptions due to the Jewish holidays in September and October. We had spent much of our time throughout the first part of the year, preparing for our first all-school assembly, where the whole school gathered and sang songs together, among other exciting events that occur every month at our Rosh Chodesh assembly. We learned to sing the classic Beatles song "ObLaDi ObLaDa" as well as the Jewish song "Acheinu", which grade 1 was able to fully participate in singing along with the rest of the school....

Learning, Trying, and Growing - The Power of Yet!After last month’s Terry Fox Run led to discussions about real-life heroes and how we can help in our own community, SK has been learning all about different kinds of community helpers over the past few weeks. From police officers to artists, from mail carriers to nurses, we have been talking and learning about all of the ways different people in our community help us every single day. We read books and sang songs, we made books, we crafted, we coloured, we matched, we sorted, and we dreamed about what we want to be when we grow up!! Our conversations about community helpers and what we want to be when we grow up led us to an exciting discovery - there are many steps and goals along the way to reaching our dreams! This naturally opened up a discussion about what goals are and how we can change the way we think to help us achieve them. We explored this idea through the inspiring books I Can’t Do That... Yet by Esther Pia Cordova and Growth Mindset Ninja by Mary Nihn as well as the video The Superpower of Yet on YouTube. Together, we learned about the magic superpower of “yet” — the idea that even if we can’t do something right now, we can get there by learning, trying, practicing, and growing. We listened to the Power of Yet song by Janelle Monae and the Sesame Street crew and we made a list of things we can't do "yet", both in school and at home, and we talked about what we can do to reach our goals. To help us remember this important lesson, students are creating their very own Yet Ninjas to hang in our class as a reminder that every challenge is just one “yet” away from success! In SK, we’re always learning and taking on new challenges, so this focus on growth and goal-setting couldn’t have come at a better time — just in time for parent-teacher conferences next week 😉!...

Tout sur ArielTitre - Tout Sur Ariel Pour terminer notre unité sur “Je me présente” Madame Sylvie nous a demandé de remplir un nombre de catégories avec notre information personnelle comme: famille, loisirs, voyages, expériences etc.. Ensuite, il fallait créer une présentation sur CANVA et la présenter à notre classe oralement. Après avoir terminé la présentation orale, Madame Sylvie a évalué notre présentation. A mon avis, ce que j’ai bien réussi c'est j’ai pu parler des parties en dehors de la présentation mais ce dont je dois encore améliorer pour ma prochaine présentation c’est je pourrais répondre aux questions entièrement en français au lieu de partiellement en français....

Art Club is Back!Grades 4 and 5 Lunch time art club kicked off this week! Each week, students will have the opportunity to explore different art media and materials that go beyond what we typically use during class time. From watercolour and collage, to sculpture and mixed media, our young artists are encouraged to experiment, take risks, and express their unique ideas. The relaxed lunchtime setting allows students to create at their own pace while building confidence and a love for the arts. It’s a joy to see their excitement as they try new techniques and share connection with friends....

We love our routine!Salut Les parents! After a month and a half of school and lots of Jewish holidays, the students are now ready to settle into more routine.The focus was les sons composé OI-OU-IN and school vocabulary.We played different games using the new vocabulary and they wrote beautiful sentences using the verb EST,prepositions and colours. We also talked about Rosh Hashanah and learnt some words associated with this important celebration as well as Yom Kippur.The students also made beautiful drawings after we read the story” Le dragon avait peur” that they really enjoyed. They have been practicing their reading, and as you can see from the video, it's coming along beautifully. Starting this week, I will begin sending home reading homework. I encourage you to support your child with this practice to help them continue improving consistently. Enjoy Nora, Hannah,Liana, Bella, Frankie and Samuel while they are reading a text....
