I hope you had a fabulous night trick-or-treating! Tomorrow is day 5 (Technology). Please bring your devices to school.
Our curling trips will be happening on November 5th and 26th. Permission forms have been sent home. Forms must be filled out by TOMORROW in order to go on Monday.
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.
Inquiry into Math
Today we explored and compared measures of volume and capacity. 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). Students worked on textbook questions and MMS lesson # 8. If students did not complete lesson #8 it is for homework.
A few conversions to remember:
1L = 1000 mL
1 cubic cm = 1 mL
1 cubic m = 1000 L
1000 cubic cm = 1 L
Cheat Sheet
Converting L ---> m cubed
Textbook work
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 in Language we read some of chapter 21 as a class, then students read the rest of chapter 21/22 independently. Once students finished reading the chapters they worked on the comprehension questions. If the questions were not completed in class, it is for homework - due tomorrow.
Unit of Inquiry
Today in UOI we read information about Greek clothing, history/war, food and Greek sayings as a class. Students completed work independently about the Greeks.
Homework:
- Spelling test tomorrow
- Math lesson # 8 due tomorrow
- Math lesson # 8 due tomorrow
- PJ ch 21/22 due tomorrow
- Finish UOI
- Finish UOI
- Curling forms due tomorrow
- Practice Guy Fawkes Day Poem
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!**
