I hope you had a lovely weekend!
Unfortunately I was away ill today, so Mme Stella covered my class. Tomorrow we will be back to usual. Tomorrow is day 2 (Gym, French and Music). Our curling trips will be happening on November 5th and 26th. Permission forms were sent home last week and waivers will be sent home tomorrow when I am back at school. Please fill out both forms and return by Friday, November 2nd.
Bake sale is taking place tomorrow and Wednesday (being put on by Ms. Jaskolka, Ms. Fisher, and Ms. King). Casual day is taking place tomorrow. Halloween/Harvest Spirit Day is taking place on Wednesday. Students are encouraged to dress in black and orange, or in their Halloween costume. Please no weapons, masks, scary face paint/costumes.
Inquiry into Math
Today we learned about the cubic metre. We used our MMS practice and homework sheet for this lesson. A line segment and distance have only one dimension. They can be measured in linear units such as cm, m and km. A flat surface has two dimensions and can be measured using square units, such as square cm or square m. An object has three dimensions and can be measured using cubic units, such as cubic cm and cubic m. For example, a track and field race would be measured in linear units (m or km), a pool cover would measure in square units (m) and a cargo space would measure in cubic units (cubic m). **1 cubic m = 1,000,000 cubic cm.**
Points to Remember:
When using a 24-hour notation, 12:00 AM (midnight) to 12:00 PM (noon) stays the same, but after 12:00 PM it goes to 13:00 for 1:00, 14:00 for 2:00, etc.
1:00 PM – 13:00
2:00 PM – 14:00
3:00 PM – 15:00
4:00 PM - 16:00
5:00 PM = 17:00
6:00 PM = 18:00
7:00 PM – 19:00
8:00 PM – 20:00
9:00 PM – 21:00
10:00 PM – 22:00
11:00 PM – 23:00
12:00 PM – 00:00
Then we start back at 1:00 AM.
12:00- 11:59 AM is from midnight to noon and 12:00 – 11:59 (12:00-24:00) PM is from noon to midnight.
Rounding rules – 0 – 4 round down
- 5 – 9 round up
Friendly numbers (a way to round or estimate) - $423.99 would round to $400.00 and $789. 11 would round to $800.00.
Standard amount (eight hundred twenty-two dollars = $822)
Written form ($745.50 = seven hundred forty-five dollars and 50 cents). We also counted money. Remember what each coin and bill are worth!
To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, multiply each face - length x width (l x w), then add the total area. For rectangular prisms that are congruent (all sides are equal), find the area of all three sides, add them together and then multiply by 2. For example, a rectangular prism with the sides 7 cm height, 15 cm length, and 10 cm width – find the area of front face, 15 x 7 = 105, then find the area of the side face, 10 x 7 = 70, then find the area of the top face, 15 x 10 = 150. Then add up those totals – 105 + 70 + 150 = 325 x 2 = 650 cm squared. When finding the surface area we use units squared (cm squared, m squared, etc.).
Volume = number of cubes in each layer x number of layers.The number of cubes is length x width and the number of layers is the height, so our formula to find the volume is l x w x h. When finding the volume we use units cubed (cm cubed, m cubed, etc.).
Inquiry into Language
Today we wrote our OWA (Ontario Writing Assessment) post-assessment – waking up as an inanimate object! The results of the post-assessment will be sent home with report cards at the end of November. I will mark last weeks spelling test when I am back tomorrow and send them home.
Unit of Inquiry
Today students worked on an art activity. Students wrote their names using the Roman alphabet.
Homework:
- Finish Spelling lesson #8
- Math lesson 7 pg. 90/91 due tomorrow
- Finish UOI name art
- Curling forms due Nov 2nd.
*Please note that students doing any after school activity, soccer, karate, yoga, etc. will be charged until 4:00 PM in aftercare, when they will be dismissed to their program with their coach!**
