I hope you had a terrific night! Tomorrow is a day 1 (reading buddies)
Inquiry into Math
Today is Math we learned how we can use patterns to find divisible rules for different numbers. We learned to do this using division. Student worked on questions 1,2 and 4 in the textbook and have lesson 3 for homework tonight.
A quick rule to find if a bigger number is divisible by 8
Using a Venn diagram to show if numbers are divisible

You are taking each input number, adding 5, then subtracting 2 each time to get your output number (10 + 5 -2 = 13, 11 + 5- 2 = 14).
Inquiry into Language
Today students read chapter 11 of Percy Jackson independently and worked on comprehension questions. If students did not complete their questions they are for homework
Unit of Inquiry
Today students worked their Science Fair/ Summative package (rough copies). An outline with due dates and a rubric has been sent home. A reminder that this is an in-class project only. Please do not do any work at home unless it has been stated. We will be working on rough copies the week of October 9th. The experiment will be completed at home during the weekend of October 13th and 14th. Good copies will be completed on October 15th and 16th, with board set up taking place on October 17th. The due date for this summative will be Thursday, October 18th with in-class presentations happening then and on Friday, October 19th. Please note that students will be required to show their display again during our SJA Science Fair, which takes place on Friday, November 16th. A great website to check out is sciencebuddies.org. **Your experiment must be measurable and conduct at least three different times**
Homework:

Caribou Math Contest is an online mathematics contest that is held 6 times per year. Last year we did a trial run with a few students from Grade 6 and above. This year we are going to offer it to students in Grades 3 and up. This is something that will be done on a student’s own time. This will not be a focus of our math program. That being said, Dr. Kaur and Mr. Lee-Guide have offered to run a math club on Wednesday morning beginning at 8:00 AM for those who are interested – the math club has begun. There is a $15 annual fee that must be paid online at registration and the test times begin at 7:15 AM. Committed students will write the tests on:
Wednesday, October 17th, 2018
Wednesday, November 14th, 2018
