What a fun morning we had...everyone did so well and seemed to really enjoy themselves. A big thank you to Mr. Cory at the Old Pro Driving Range for teaching us how to hit a ball!
What a crew!

Caribou Math Contest is an online mathematics
contest that is held 6 times per year. Last year we did a trial run with a few
students from Grade 6 and above. This year we are going to offer it to students
in Grades 3 and up. This is something that will be done on a student’s own
time. This will not be a focus of our math program. That being said, Dr. Kaur
and Mr. Lee-Guide have offered to run a math club on Wednesday morning
beginning at 8:00 AM for those who are interested – the math club has begun.
There is a $15 annual fee that must be paid online at registration and the test
times begin at 7:15 AM. Committed students will write the tests on:

Unit of Inquiry
Today
we began discussing the summative and wrote out the due dates. We also took some time to
begin researching possible experiments - please ensure that all experiments are measurable and that you are able to conduct your experiment at least three times.
Our
What’s the Matter summative is fast approaching. This summative will be their
science fair project and it must relate to matter. An outline with due dates and a rubric will be
sent home either tomorrow or Thursday. We will begin on Tuesday, October 9 - a kind reminder that this is an in-class project only. Please do not do any work at home unless it has been stated. We will be working on rough copies the week of October 9th. The experiment will be completed at home during the weekend of October 13th and 14th. Good copies will be completed on October 15th and 16th, with board set up taking place on October 17th. The due date for this summative will be Thursday,
October 18th with in-class presentations happening then and on
Friday, October 19th. Please note that students will be required to
show their display again during our SJA Science Fair, which takes place on
Friday, November 16th. A great website to check out is sciencebuddies.org.
