Good afternoon everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful night!
Thank you to all of those families who came out to support our International
Day project. I know how excited they were to share all of the hard work they
have done over the past couple of weeks. Just a reminder there is no school on
Friday and Monday. I wish you all restful and happy Thanksgiving weekend.

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:

we set up our room for International Day.
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 was sent home today. 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. **Your experiment
must be measurable and conduct at least three different times**
