End of the Week Nov 4th - 8th

This week in Math we learned a bunch of new Math games. We learned how to play Rack-O, array conquer, tenzi as well as addition war. Besides games we also explored how the words, "what is the difference between ___ and ___," is a phrase that means subtraction. We also explored 2D and3D shapes and a the word vertices, which are corners. On Wednesday, we looked at time to the half hour as well as even and odd numbers. Then on Thursday we explored the link between multiplication and repeated addition, here is a link to a Khan Academy video if you would like to explore more.

Finally in Math we continued our Math Talks lessons by looking at word problems, solving them in small groups and explaining our mathematical thinking to the class. We are learning from each other to explore how there are many ways to solve the same problem.

In Social Studies we explored Remembrance Day. We looked at why we observe Remembrance Day. We looked at the symbols and traditions of Remembrance Day. Our class created posters to raise awareness to support the Veteran's Food Bank. Then on Friday we took part in the schools Remembrance Day ceremony. Remember that Monday is Remembrance Day and to observe a minute of silence at 11 am. The school will also be accepting food and hygiene donations to the Veteran's Food Bank until Friday November the 15th.

Don't forget O.S. Geiger sent home a form on Friday to register for the upcoming Parent-Teacher Conference.

Welcome Back April 6th 2020

Hi everyone, I hope that everybody had a wonderful break. I know that it was not as social as we would have wanted and the weather has not quite met my expectations of spring yet. But we are back! Over the next couple of days I will be contacting each of you to find out how your break has been and how your family is handling the new situation. I will also be asking you other questions: is anything that we can help you or your family with? can we help you get in contact with any community supports? what kind of computer access do you have? do you need paper learning packages? do you know your student email and log in information? do you need your passwords reset? do you need help getting onto D2L/ Google Classroom? is your guardian receiving emails? Once we have all of this information we will be in a much better position to help you learn from home. Thanks to the people who were checking the blog over the break. For today I will be adding things to the...
