Good afternoon everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We had
a somewhat busy weekend. We hosted Mark’s co-workers for a dinner on Friday,
attended the Georgetown Santa Claus Parade on Saturday night, attended one of Kase's friends birthday parties, and did our
regular weekend things.
Santa Claus Parade fun!
Glow Zone fun!
Thanks to these folks who brought in donations for our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. THANK YOU!!
Tomorrow is a Day 3 and our next curling trip.
We will be leaving shortly after 12 and will arrive back sometime around 3. Students are required to
wear the SJA gym clothes, indoor gym shoes, and warm clothes (coat, mitts, warm
socks), as it is cold on the ice. **A kind reminder that all students

Unit of Inquiry
Today
we began thinking of our ancient civilization summative. The
summative for this unit will have students recreating an ancient artifact from
one of the civilizations we studied. I hope to send home the summative package
tomorrow. As of now, we will be beginning the summative the week of November 18th
with a due date of Thursday, November 28th.

Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today we took up our Geometry math
review. We will write the test tomorrow, Tuesday, November 19th.
Our next unit, Fractions, will take us
right up until just before Christmas break. As of now our test will be Friday,
December 13th.
Points to Remember
Angles
- acute
angle is less than 900, and right
angle is 900, and an obtuse
angle is grater than 900 but less than 1800. We also
came to realized that some angles are greater than or equal to 1800.
A straight angle is 1800
and a reflex angles measure between
1800 and 360o. One complete turn is 3600. A
protractor will become our best friend during this unit. Drawing a reflex angle
can be tricky. Please see this video for tips!
A regular figure has equal sides and
equal figures. An irregular figure
does not have all side equal and does not have all angles equal. A convex polygon has all angles less than
1800 and a concave polygon
has at least one reflex angle. We can classify and sort figures different ways
– we can sort triangles by the number of equal sides and by angle measure and
we can sort quadrilaterals in a Venn diagram.
When an angle is identified by 3
letters, the middle letter indicates the vertex of the angle. For example,
angle A is also angle CAB.
