Good Afternoon Everyone!

I hope you had a great day! Tomorrow is day 5  (Our trip to the ROM).  Tomorrow is our trip to the ROM in Toronto. Students will be required to wear their full winter uniform, including blazers – no house hoodies please. Be sure to pack a disposable lunch as we will be eating lunch at the ROM after our guided tour. We will be leaving a little before 9:30 AM and arriving back sometime before 3:00 PM, traffic dependent of course. Please be sure to arrive on time for school tomorrow as the bus will not wait for students who are late.

Inquiry into Language

Today we continued to work on our Ancient Civilization summative. 

Inquiry into Mathematics

Today we began our next unit, Fractions. We learned how large numbers are represented in the media. Numbers in the media are often rounded and reported using fractions or decimals. Take a look at our two scenarios below. 

I have marked the math tests, but I am still waiting for all students to write the test before sending it home.
