Good Morning Everyone!

I hope you had a fantastic weekend!

Tomorrow is day 1 (Reading Buddies). Guy Fawkes recitals tomorrow! For those of you have already memorized it, well-done!

On Thursday November 8th is our trip to the ROM. Students must wear their full school day uniform (tie, blazer, vest, shirt, pants, navy blue socks, and dress shoes). Please bring a disposable lunch for this day. 

REMINDER FRIDAY NOVEMBER 9th IS A PA DAY!

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 1^st and November 30^th. 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 Curling trip. The students learned how to curl with two curling rocks, use the broom and we started to practice with one rock. We had a blast!

Warm up - practice using the broom (sweeping)

Curling fun!

Inquiry into Mathematics

Today we began on our Unit #6 Measurement review. If it was not completed in class it is for homework due tomorrow. Tomorrow we will take up the review as a class. 

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

	/1000		/1000		/1000	Move the decimal 3 spots to the left
mg	--->	g	--->	kg	--->	t
	X 1000		X 1000		X 1000	Move the decimal 3 spots to right
t	--->	kg	--->	g	--->	mg

Inquiry into Language

Today we did not have time for Language as we had our curling trip. Students are asked to complete lesson #9 independently and on their own time. Spelling lesson #9 is due on Wednesday. Tomorrow we will do our Guy Fawkes Day Poems in class. 

We watched a movie to eat our lunch and relax when we came back

Unit of Inquiry

Today in UOI we took a day to catch up on any previous work from Ancient Rome and Greece. Students made sure their work was up to date, correct and complete. If students finished they began on Ancient Egypt activities. 

Homework: 

- Measurement review due tomorrow

- Spelling lesson #9 due Wednesday 

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 16^th, 2018 and the short story deadline is November 23^rd, 2018.
