Hard to believe March Break is a week behind us. I hope everyone had a great break and had fun with family and friends!
Homework
-Students have been given extra time in class to catch up on any time missed on their Biography project due to our internet interruption. The due date for their completion will be the week of April 9th.
- As well starting next week there will be coming home sample Reading/Writing EQAO questions which need not be completed and returned to school by the end of the week (Friday) so as a class we will level our work based on the exemplars from EQAO. This will start the Tuesday after Easter weekend.
-Tuesday, April 10th we will have a celebration of learning that incorporates Order of Operations, multiplication, and division. Practice work will be placed on Hapara.
Math
We have moved forward and are developing strategies for division- strategies beyond the standard algorithm to help us out when
we "forget the steps".
We will be moving towards relationships involving percent, ratio, and unit rate, then onto Geometry (properties of quadrilaterals, classify and construct polygons and angles, coordinate grid, transformational geometry).
Literacy
We continue to look Evaluating Non-fiction texts and are moving towards Analyzing Poetry - Visualizing, Inferring, Analyzing.
Mr. Fresque was also in to help us move forward in our business venture. Students have narrowed their bookmarks down to 4 designs and have divided into groups to work on each. Our next phase is to determine our “bill of materials” and figure out how much it will cost us to mass produce our product. This will help us determine how much we will potentially sell them for etc. This coming week our class will also meet again with Ms. White to keep her updated on our progress.
