I hope had a wonderful night. Tomorrow is day 1 (reading buddies and math test). Our next curling trip is Monday, November 26th. We will leave at 9:00am sharp, so please make sure you are at school on time. Students are reminded to wear their gym uniform and gym shoes (they will be wearing it all day), as well as to bring warm clothes (hats, mitts and coats) as we will be on the ice and it will be cold.
A message from our Librarian Mrs. Hayward

Congratulations to our Science Fair winners! I would just like to say how proud I am of each and every student in our class. They worked very hard on their projects and it was noticed by teachers, parents and students! Congratulations grade 5's!
Inquiry into Mathematics
Today in Math students completed 'Show What You Know' for this unit in the textbook to help prepare them for tomorrows test.
Working on Show What You Know
Points to Remember:
An acute angle is less than 90 degrees. A right angle is 90 degrees and takes the shape of an L. An obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees. A straight line is 180 degrees and makes a straight line. A reflex angle is an angle that falls between 180 and 360 degrees.
In order to measure a reflex angle, you measure the angle below the 180 degree straight line. Then you add up the numbers. For example, if the angle measures 13 degrees, then 13 + 180 = 193 degrees.
When constructing a reflex angle you need to do the opposite. You take the angle measurement and subtract it from the 180 degree straight line. That angle will tell you how to draw it. For example, 205 – 180 = 25 degrees. Using the 180 degree line, measure the 25 degree angle and draw it.
A regular figure has all equal sides and equal angles.
Irregular figures do not have all equal sides or equal angles.
A scalene is a triangle that has NO equal sides or equal angles.
An isosceles is a triangle with two equal sides and two equal angles.
An equilateral is a triangle with all equal sides and angles.
Inquiry into Language
Today in Language we practiced our Christmas Concert song. We added new actions into our dance and practiced how to bow as a class. We also had time for technology today and continued to practice our typing.
Practicing their typing
Unit of Inquiry

An information package and rubric was sent home. We will begin our in-class summative on Monday, November 19th and the due date will be Thursday, November 29th. A kind reminder that all work is to be completed during class time only, unless other wise stated.
