Have a safe and fun evening tonight!

Go with a buddy, parent/guardian
Check all treats before eating them

Only one treat a day and it is recommended you eat at afternoon recess.

An amazing day of creating and collaborating!

Congratulation to members of the BTC group who will be Trick or Treating for others during this Halloween- can't wait to see how many non-perishable cans you will bring back to school.

DANCE:

Using the video posted in google classroom learn the line dance then use the success criteria to brainstorm ideas for the first 40 sec of the music

FORMS:  3D Printer forms are due in by Wednesday

MATH:   Practice your 4-5 times table

INDOOR SHOES- please bring in indoor shoes so that our classroom is kept clean-remember we are on the floor during the day.

This week we discovered the importance of energy conservation and how a wind turbine works to create cleaner energy.  We ventured out to the Toronto Reference Library to get 3D certified.  In class we continued to learn and engage with the scientific process and states of matter.  We created ice-cream and observed the chemicals changes of how the raw ingredients came together to make our delicious ice cream. 

Global Read Aloud:A Long Walk to Water Padlet- Respond to the following padlet over the next two days.

MATH: Past Due
Learning Goal:  understanding how to convert fractions into percentage as well as, finings simplest form

Grade 6- U8 L7 page 314 #1ab 3 ab 4a 6-9 Reflect

3D Printing Form- please complete so that you are prepared for the next field trip.  Digital Innovation Hub form states a cost that is to make you aware of the cost associated with printing if you go on your own time or when we print as a class

Dance:  On google classroom you will view the video and review the success criteria for the elements of dance. 

Photo Day- reminder that retakes and class photo will be taken on Monday October 30

Wow an amazing week of learning from learning to code with Minecraft to building on our understanding of the scientific process.  Finally today we discovered and investigated the biodiversity within Cedarvale Park.


Our goal next week is to consider how we use our time in class and on task behaviour.


Thank you to Ms. Shumate for an amazing week of learning that you have provided the students


MATH:    Practice your  2-4 timestable daily at home
learning goal: showing your understanding of different concepts in fractions while applying it to real-life context (equivalent, simplest form, common denominator)

Age harder to pin down. Bedrock round their is from Ordovician Period, so safe-ish to say >450 million yrs, <480 million yrs #ROMLearning

So excited about the learning we did this week- as a class we engaged with the scientific method and conducted our first experiment (mentos in soda).  We continued to develop our understanding of fractions in problems and learning how to deconstruct it using a KWC.  As a class community we continued to build understanding of how to create an effective paragraph by developing the success criteria.  Finally we ended our week with a visit from Jenny Kay Dupuis author of I am Not a Number, she shared her journey as a writer as we chronicled her grandma's experience at Residential School.


Can't wait for next week where we take our learning outside the classroom.


Have a great weekend!
