I hope you had a great day! Tomorrow is day 6 (Science Fair Presentation for Judges). All students are kindly asked to wear their full school day uniform tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day students will be presenting to the Science Fair Judges. Also, tomorrow we will we painting for our UOI art component. Please bring an old t-shirt to school. Aftercare payments are due Friday, November 15th.
December Lunches
The lunch site is now open
It will close Wednesday, November 20th at 3:00pm
Special of the month: Spaghetti and Meatballs which is available every Friday.
All payments are to be made through quickbooks by December 6th.

Book Fair:
Polar Expressions is back again this year and they are looking for students to have the chance to publish poems and short stories in an upcoming book. Information sheets have been sent. Students who are interested in this competition can do so on their own time, as class time will not be given. The deadline for poems is November 29th and the deadline for short stories is December 6th
Inquiry into Language
Today we practiced for our Science Fair Projects as the judges will be coming in tomorrow. Our OWA Post-Assessment postponed till tomorrow.
Practicing for the big day tomorrow!
Inquiry into Mathematics
Today we began our lesson by creating rectangular prisms with linking cubes. We learned how to illustrate objects. We found that when you use linking cubes to construct your figure it makes it easier to illustrate. When we illustrate objects on dot paper it is called an isometric drawings.
As of now we are aiming to have our unit test for Tuesday, November 19th.
Constructing a rectangular prism
Steps to make an isometric drawing
Points to Remember
Acute Angle is less than 90°
Right Angle is 90° exactly
Obtuse Angle is greater than 90° but less than 180°
Straight Angle is 180° exactly
Reflex Angle is greater than 180°
Full Rotation is 360° exactly
Here is a video on how to calculate a reflex angle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBOeW6fgYd8
A regular figure has sides that are all equal and all angles are equal. An irregular figure has sides and angles of any length and size. Convex Polygons have angles less than 180 degrees, and concave polygons have at least one reflex angle.
To construct figures you always need to use a ruler and protractor. An angle is identified by 3 letters the middle letter indicates the vertex of the angle. For example, angle A is also angle CAB.

Unit of Inquiry
Today we learned about the history of the Greek vase. We learned that the vase represents things that were important to the Ancient Greeks. For our art component this term students will be creating their own Greek vase. We completed the rough copy as well began on the background. Tomorrow we will complete the rest of the steps
For our Ancient Civilizations summative students will be recreating an ancient artifact from one of the civilizations we studied. More information to come closer to the end of the unit! As of now, we will be beginning the summative the week of November 18th with a due date of Friday, November 29th
