I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! Mine was incredibly busy.
Gym – The students started the day doing gym with Mr. Orr, which you can read about on his blog (http://tysonorr.blogspot.com)
Music – Then, we had music with Mr. Oliver, which you can read about on his blog (https://mrolivermusicclass.blogspot.com).
French – In the afternoon, we had French with Mme. Rawan, which you can read about on her blog (https://mmerawansja.blogspot.com).
Inquiry into Math – Today, we started our new unit for math, which is Decimals. Our first lesson covered how we see numbers in the media. For example, you would not hear “3, 500, 000 people were affected by the incident.” You would hear “3.5 million people were affected by the incident.”
Since 500, 000 is half of one million, you could say ½ million. We worked today on simplifying these numbers and writing them either in this media format, or converting from media form into standard form.
Inquiry into Ancient Civilizations – We continued to work on our artefacts for our summative tasks!
For homework:
· MMS Pg. 44 – 45 (due tomorrow)
All homework for the day is placed here, but time may have been given in class to complete this work.
