I hope you had a wonderful evening!
Monday is day 6. On Monday we will be going to the Acton Curling Club from 9-12pm. Please be on time for school as the bus will leave shortly after 9am. Please wear full SJA gym uniform and pack warm jackets, scarves, hats and mittens as it will be cold on the ice.
Oakwood Academy is spreading the Christmas cheer by selling Poinsettias. Forms were sent home today. Orders are due November 29th.
World Kindness Day is taking place on Tuesday, November 13th. Students are asked to give a handprint for every act of kindness they perform. For $2.00, students can have an extra casual day.
Congratulations to Sethumi on winning this months Knowledgeable Award!!!
Inquiry into Mathematics
Today we focused on relating units of mass. Mass is the amount of matter of an object. The basic unit of mass is grams. When we add milli to gram (milligram), the milli means thousandths. So, one milligram is one-thousandth of a gram (1 mg = 0.001 g & 1000 mg = 1 g). When we add kilo to gram (kilogram), the kilo means thousands. So, one kilogram is one thousand grams (1 kg = 1000 g & 1 g = 0.001 kg). One tonne is one thousand kilograms (1 t = 1000 kg & 1 kg = 0.001 t). Please see the chart below to help.

This is our last lesson for this unit. Our math test will take place on Monday, November 12.
Working on textbook questions and homework
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.).
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.**
Volume measures the space an object occupies (mL or L), while capacity measures the amount of liquid or gas an object holds (cubic cm or cubic m).
A few conversions to remember:
1L = 1000 mL
1 cubic cm = 1 mL
1 cubic m = 1000 L
1000 cubic cm = 1 L
Inquiry into Language
Today we had our 8th spelling test. After we finished our test everyone presented our Guy Fawkes Day Poem.
We also practiced our typing on Typing Club!
Unit of Inquiry
Today we finished learning about Greece and will start to learn about Egypt on Tuesday. As a class we read and completed activities about the Greek alphabet, the Olympic games in Greece, and the Greek marketplace. Students used their research skills to answer some of their activity questions
Homework:
- Math lesson # 9 due Monday
- Finish UOI - till the end of Greece
March Break Camp registration forms were sent home. If you are interested please fill in the form and bring it back to school as soon as possible.
*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!**
Don't forget about Polar Expressions Publishing! The poetry deadline is November 16th, 2018 and the short story deadline is November 23rd, 2018.
