Help Fund Cancer Research

Join students in our class and help out! This fun event is called Lemonade Standemonium! Set up a lemonade stand in your driveway (old school style) and help out those with cancer! Register for your kit and t-shirts at the site below if you want to participate. Or head over to the homes of students in our community that are participating.

Homework

As I cannot print to the photocopier right now (it is being fixed) and we are trying to save paper, the homework will be posted here, as a task. Submissions are fine on a regular lined sheet of paper or scrap paper for the eco-friendly!

                                                   Title BLOG HOMEWORK.

                                               BLOG HOMEWORK WEEK 1:
Answer the following:

1. A textbook cover has a width of 23 cm and a length of 20cm. What is the area of the cover? Draw on your page, label and solve. Don't forget, answers are in cm squared (tiny 2 at the top).


2. A rectangular swimming pool is 12 meters long and 18 meters wide. What is the perimeter or the pool? Draw, label and solve.


3. Anna bought some wrapping paper for a gift. It was 1 meter long, by 2 meters across. What is the perimeter of the wrapping paper?  Draw and label. Next, find the area of the paper!


4. Find a measuring tape at home, or use non-standard units (ex: your shoe). Next, measure all around the perimeter of your room. What is the perimeter of your bedroom? (in real units, or whatever you have measured with). DRAW a sketch of your room, label, then show your total.


Four questions due FRIDAY. Make sure your NAME is on your paper.

Tuesday Workshop

Miss. Sturgeon is away today at a Discovery Science Techbook workshop, exploring new digital science activities. Interesting!

Homework will come home tomorrow in the duotangs.

Our classroom has finished being painted. Now the chaotic messes will be put away and a normal classroom will be up and running again. It will look fresh and new! The students did a good job staying focussed during the upheaval.

Homework

Homework for math this week is a short sheet practicing perimeter concepts (adding up ALL sides). We discussed reasons for both non-standard measuring (units), Canadian metric and American Imperial systems. Our class looked a bit at the history of measurement and the meter stick. This week's assignment is a standard house floor plan.

Science Inquiry!

Our class has been working hard with Forces and Structures, building bridges and looking for their weak points. Tension and Compression everywhere! Here are a few photos from our testing:

                                                     Newton Spring Scale testing force.

                                        OH NO! Crashing after 1,200 grams of weight.

                      Our WINNER! This bridge (Brayden, Diego, Damian) held over 2000 grams
                       and withheld wind AND held up against 5+ Newtons with our spring scale.

                              Using Cargo Bridge Game Blueprints to design and test bridges.

No more Puppy Mills (Canada)

Our class is fighting to change laws in Canada to make Puppy Mills illegal. Quebec is currently a leader in the terrible Puppy Mill industry. We will be writing persuasive letters to the Prime Minister to help change Canada's Animal Laws.

Check out Billy's Happy Ending Story (video above) and see what volunteers with the Human Society do in Canada (and the US).

CGE Assembly

Our class is busy with the CGE Assembly tomorrow at 2:45. If you are at home or free, you can come watch. Several students will be bravely reading their haiku poems, and we are sharing a video we made. As soon as I figure out how to upload such as large video, I will put it here for you to view at home.
