Good
afternoon everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful day!
Tomorrow is a Day 6 (music and reading buddies) and the next Caribou contest.
Please ensure students arrive by 7:15 AM with a charged working laptop.
Students who arrive late will not be able to write the test. Aftercare
invoices have been sent out and are due Thursday, November 15th,
2018. Beginning November 30th, interest will be applied to
outstanding amounts. Our second curling trip will be happening on Tuesday,
November 20th in the afternoon (12-3). Students are reminded to wear
their gym uniform (they will be wearing it all day), as well as to bring warm
clothes (hats, mitts and coats) as we will be on the ice and it will be cold.
We will eat lunch before we leave on the 20th. The Grand Opening of the dome will take place tomorrow between 4:00 and 5:30 PM.
A big thank you to all of my Grade 5s who brought in
$2.00 to support our friends at Oakwood. The Grade 5s also took some time to
write ways to show kindness on handprints!
Don't
forget about Polar Expressions Publishing! The poetry deadline is November 16th, 2018 and the short
story deadline is November 23rd, 2018.
Oakwood Academy is holding a Poinsettia
fundraiser for the holiday season, to raise money for some new sensory
items. The Poinsettias are red, pink or white and make a wonderful holiday

today. The class that sells the most Poinsettias will win a $50 gift card!!
Order between November 1st and November 30th by cash

Unit of Inquiry
Today
we studied a map of Ancient Egypt to answer some questions and then researched
some information on theories about how the pyramids were built.
It
is hard to believe, but we are nearing the end of our second Unit of Inquiry. For
our summative, students will be required to recreate an ancient artifact from
one of the three civilization we learned about. An information package and
rubric will be sent home sometime next week. We will begin our in-class
summative on Monday, November 19th and the due date will be
Thursday, November 29th. A kind reminder that all work is to be
completed during class time only, unless other wise stated.

Learning about Ancient Egypt!
Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today
we began Geometry. We measured and constructed angles. An acute angle is less than 90 degrees. A right angle is 90 degrees and takes the shape of an L. An obtuse angle is greater than 90
degrees. A straight line is 180
degrees and makes a straight line. A reflex
angle is an angle that falls between 180 and 360 degrees.
In
order to measure a reflex angle, you
measure the angle below the 180 degree straight line. Then you add up the
numbers. For example, if the angle measures 13 degrees, then 13 + 180 = 193
degrees.
When
constructing a reflex angle you need
to do the opposite. You take the angle measurement and subtract it from the 180
degree straight line. That angle will tell you how to draw it. For example, 205
– 180 = 25 degrees. Using the 180 degree line, measure the 25 degree angle and
draw it.
