Good
afternoon everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Ours was pretty low key…the usual weekend household items and sports! Carter
was lucky enough to get to experience his first Leaf game with Mark on Saturday
night. Mark won a pair of tickets through work, and Carter has suddenly taken
an interest in hockey, so they thought what better time! I’m not sure who was
more excited…Mark (taking his son to his first game) or Carter (going to his
first game)!!
He enjoyed every minute of it!
Some more action - discussing how Romans got their water and Gladiators!
Tomorrow is a Day 2 (music and
tech). Our curling trips will be happening on November 12th and 20th.
Permission forms and waivers were sent home tonight. Please fill out both forms
and return by Friday, November 2nd.

Unit of Inquiry
Today
we wrote out names and birthday using the Roman alphabet.
HOMEWORK
-Finish
name using the Roman alphabet - make it pretty
We are off to a good start!
Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today
we learned about the cubic metre. We used our MMS practice and homework sheet
for this lesson. A line segment and
distance have only one dimension. They can be measured in linear units such as
cm, m and km. A flat surface has two
dimensions and can be measured using square units, such as square cm or square
m. An object has three dimensions
and can be measured using cubic units, such as cubic cm and cubic m. For
example, a track and field race would be measured in linear units (m or km), a
pool cover would measure in square units (m) and a cargo space would measure in
cubic units (cubic m). **1 cubic m = 1,000,000 cubic cm.**
Points to remember:
When
using a 24-hour notation, 12:00 AM
(midnight) to 12:00 PM (noon) stays the same, but after 12:00 PM it goes to
13:00 for 1:00, 14:00 for 2:00, etc.
1:00
PM – 13:00
2:00
PM – 14:00
3:00
PM – 15:00
4:00
PM - 16:00
5:00
PM = 17:00
6:00
PM = 18:00
7:00
PM – 19:00
8:00
PM – 20:00
9:00
PM – 21:00
10:00
PM – 22:00
11:00
PM – 23:00
12:00
PM – 00:00
Then
we start back at 1:00 AM.
12:00-
11:59 AM is from midnight to noon and 12:00 – 11:59 (12:00-24:00) PM is from
noon to midnight.
Rounding rules – 0 – 4 round down
-
5 – 9 round up
Friendly numbers (a way
to round or estimate) - $423.99 would round to $400.00 and $789. 11 would round
to $800.00.
Standard amount (eight hundred twenty-two dollars = $822)
Written form ($745.50 = seven hundred forty-five dollars
and 50 cents). We also counted money. Remember what each coin and bill are
worth!
To find
the surface area of a rectangular prism, multiply each face - length x width (l x w), then add the total
area. For rectangular prisms that are congruent (all sides are equal), find the area of all three sides, add them
together and then multiply by 2. For example, a rectangular prism with the
sides 7 cm height, 15 cm length, and 10 cm width – find the area of front face,
15 x 7 = 105, then find the area of the side face, 10 x 7 = 70, then find the
area of the top face, 15 x 10 = 150. Then add up those totals – 105 + 70 + 150
= 325 x 2 = 650 cm squared. When finding the surface area we use units squared (cm
squared, m squared, etc.).
Volume = number of
cubes in each layer x number of layers. The number of cubes is length x width
and the number of layers is the height, so our formula to find the volume is l x w x h. When finding the volume we
use units cubed (cm cubed, m cubed, etc.).

Inquiry into Language
Today
we wrote our OWA (Ontario Writing Assessment) post-assessment – waking up as an
inanimate object! The results of the post-assessment will be sent home with
report cards at the end of November. Last Fridays spelling tests have been
marked and sent home.
HOMEWORK
-Sign
and return spelling test #7 – wrong words are to be written out 5 x
Focusing so hard on writing our inanimate object narrative stories!
Using classroom resources to assist with spelling!
Have
a wonderful night!
Love
Mrs. Hocevar
