Good afternoon everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving
weekend! We did despite all the rain. My parents and sister came over for the
weekend and we ate a delicious turkey dinner with all of the fixings. We also
celebrated Carter’s 7th birthday on Sunday…my Thanksgiving baby!
Strolling the market!
Happy birthday bud!
Happy Thanksgiving from these turkeys!

Unit of Inquiry
Today
we started our first UOI summative – our science fair project. An outline with
due dates and a rubric has been sent home. A 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**

Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today
we learned about number patterns. We learned about pattern rules during this
lesson. A pattern rule is a rule we
follow to get a set number of terms. For example, the pattern rule is ‘Start at
7. Multiply by 2, then add 1 each time.’ So, 7 x 2 + 1 = 15, 15 x 2 + 1 = 31,
31 x 2 + 1 = 63. We are also looking at a recursive pattern. A recursive pattern is when each term can
be found by applying the pattern rule to the previous term.
Points to remember:

You
are taking each input number, adding 5, then subtracting 2 each time to get your
output number (10 + 5 -2 = 13, 11 + 5- 2 = 14).
