Our next extra-curricular activity is skiing/snowboarding at Glen Eden Ski Resort. The dates of the trip are January 22, February 19 and March 4. Please do not order lunch for these days; it will not be saved nor will a reimbursement be given. We will be leaving at 7:00 AM and returning by 4:00 PM at the latest. All rentals are included, however students are more than welcome to bring their own. Please do not order hot lunch for these days as we will be eating lunch at the ski hill – students are welcome to bring money to purchase food and drink items. Students must ensure they are dressed in appropriate ski gear; warm socks, long johns with comfy clothes, snow pants, warm mitts, a face protector (if possible) and a ski jacket. Please note that if students chose skiing, they will ski all three times. If students pick snowboarding, they will snowboard all three times. All students will have to pass each level before they are granted permission to ski on the big hill, no matter what their experience.

Inquiry into Language
Today we began our new novel study Shannen and the Dream for a School. For this novel study students will be put into literature circle groups and completing different tasks each week. Students will get the opportunity to be a word wizard, summarizer and literary critic.
Reminders:
We can represent patterns through using a model, a table, writing a pattern rule and drawing a graph. Remember when writing a pattern rule you must write: Start at 1. Add 4 each time (example).
Input/Output: Remember that the pattern rule must work for all input numbers. All graphs must have a title, an x (Input numbers) and y axis (Output numbers) label and an appropriate scale.
Inquiry into Mathematics
Today students wrote their math test. Tomorrow we will begin our next unit #9: Area, Perimeter and Volume.
We can represent patterns through using a model, a table, writing a pattern rule and drawing a graph. Remember when writing a pattern rule you must write: Start at 1. Add 4 each time (example).
Input/Output: Remember that the pattern rule must work for all input numbers. All graphs must have a title, an x (Input numbers) and y axis (Output numbers) label and an appropriate scale.
Euler’s Formula and other patterns for prisms - the number of faces + the number of vertices – 2 = the number of edges (F + V – 2 = E). For example, a triangular prism has 5 faces and 6 vertices. Therefore, 5 + 6 – 2 = 11 – 2 = 9, so a triangular prism has 9 edges.
Some other patterns for prisms are:
1) The number of faces of a prism is 2 more than the number of sides on the base – A hexagon has 6 sides, therefore 6 + 2 = 8, so 8 faces.
2) The number of vertices on a prism is double the number of sides on the base – a triangle has 3 sides, therefore 3 x 2 = 6 vertices.
3) The number of edges of a prism is triple the number of sides on the base – a pentagon has 5 sides, therefore 5 x 3 = 15 edges.
To find average speed, time and distance we must follow the formulas.
Distance = Average speed X time
Time= Distance / Speed
Speed= Distance / Time
To find average speed, time and distance we must follow the formulas.
Distance = Average speed X time
Time= Distance / Speed
Speed= Distance / Time
