December Lunches

The next Caribou Contest takes place on Wednesday, November 13th, 2019. Participants are to arrive at 7:15 am for a 7:30 am start. Bring a charged device, preferably a laptop, iPad or Tablet. You have one hour to write the test.
This month’s test includes an interactive question. The interactive question will differ by grade: Tangram for Grades 2 to 4, Chomp for Grades 5 to 10, and finally a GeomeTree construction involving triangles for Grades 11/12. You can practice these now on Caribou’s Games page. Let Caribou know if you have any problems with the games.Caribou strongly recommends familiarizing yourselves with these games before the contest. Because certain games pages can be used to solve the questions, these will be blocked from Tuesday morning, November 12th, (start of the contest in the far East) to Thursday evening, November 15th at 8 pm EST.
For Grades 3 to 12, there will be a history question about Emmy Noether. Students in these grades should read the relevant section of Caribou’s History page in your preferred language to prepare.

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
Thank you to some students in Mrs. Hocevar's class for the Remembrance Day Presentation! Great job Grade 5's!
Inquiry into Language
Today we students wrote spelling test #9 and we continued to work on our narratives about an inanimate object.
Inquiry into Mathematics
Today we learned how to construct figures using a ruler and protractor. We also learned that when an angle is identified by 3 letters the middle letter indicates the vertex of the angle. For example, angle A is also angle CAB. Please see the step by step method of how to construct a figure.
As of now we are aiming to have our unit test for Tuesday, November 19th.
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.

Unit of Inquiry
Today we worked on worksheets about Athens and Sparta, religion, the gods of Greece, the ancient olympics, the Ancient Greek theatres, the government, and the types of columns there were in Greece. Ask me how Greece created their government! If any worksheets were not completed in class they are due Tuesday.
