I hope you had a wonderful night! Tomorrow is a PA DAY! Monday is a day 4 (Gym, Music and French). Please make sure to bring your gym clothes and shoes.
A kind reminder from Ms. Chiappetta, outstanding aftercare invoices for October are due. Invoices are due no later than Thursday, November 15th. If they are not paid by November 30th, interest will be added to your outstanding amount.
The next Caribou contest is next Wednesday, November 14. Please ensure students arrive by 7:15 AM with a charged working laptop. Students who arrive late will not be able to write the test.
Oakwood Academy is holding a Poinsettia fundraiser for the holiday season, to raise money for some new sensory items. The Poinsettias are red, pink or white and make a wonderful holiday gift, and are a nice way to spread holiday cheer. Order forms were sent home today. The class that sells the most Poinsettias will win a $50 gift card!! Order between November 1st and November 30th. The only form of payment will be cash. Thank you in advance!
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.
A Message from Mrs. Hayward
A kind reminder about Science Fair
Today was our trip to the ROM. We learned about Ancient Greek artifacts and learned about the Greek history. We had a great time. A huge thank you to our wonderful volunteers who came on the trip with us!
Inquiry into Mathematics
Today we did not have Math as we were on our trip to the ROM. Students have a second review to practice over the weekend. Please have students study over the weekend to make sure they are prepared for Monday.
On Tuesday we will begin Unit #3 - Geometry.
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).
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
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.

Inquiry into Language
Today in Language we had our weekly spelling test. Shortly after we left for our trip to the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum)
Unit of Inquiry
Today before we left for our trip, students started to create their Greek vases. This weekend students are asked to complete a Greek vase on the vase template provided. Students are asked to include activities in their everyday life on their vase, just like the Greeks. Students are asked to cut out their vase and create a boarder for it. They will be marked on their design, use of space, colour and neatness and creativity.
It is hard to believe, but we are nearing the end of our second Unit of Inquiry. For our summative, students will be required to recreate an ancient artifact from one of the three civilization we learned about. An information package and rubric will be sent home sometime next week. 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.
Getting a start on their vases
