school events have been postponed – I will update you if anything changes. My
blog will be updated on a daily basis for 9:00 AM. I will be using a variety of
tools to do this! Please use this link to access my Discord account - https://discord.gg/kcpXpp
I will
also be available via email and Bloomz, so please do not hesitate to reach out.
Report cards and graphs are to be sent home on Friday, April 10. Spelling Bee rules and lists have been sent
home – a new date for the Top 6 and SJA Spelling Bee to be announced soon.

spelling lesson #24
Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today
we began Fractions, Percents, Ratios and Rates! Today our focus was on
equivalent fractions. But first, we will be going over some basics!
3 is an example of a proper fraction. In any fraction the
top
4 number is called the numerator. The bottom number is called
a denominator.
7 is an example of an improper
fraction…big number on top.
5
11
is
a mixed number. It has a whole number and a
2 fraction.
Equivalent
fractions are fractions that are equal to each other. For example, ½ = 2/4=6/8.
--> 12/16=3/4.
To find
an equivalent fraction with a greater numerator and denominator,
multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number. For example, 5/12 =
10/24 (2 x 5 and 2 x 12) and 25/60 (5 x 5 and 5 x 12).
To find
equivalent fractions with a lesser numerator and denominator, divide the
numerator and denominator by the same number. For example, 24/60 = 4/10 (24/6
and 60/6). When we find an equivalent fraction by dividing, you simplify the
fraction. 24/60 = 4/10 = 2/5 (4/2 and 10/2). This is the simplest form as the
only factor into both 2 and 5 is 1.

Gym – Mr. Orr
Good morning and
welcome to online learning! I hope you have all had a restful March break! The
way Phys. Ed. will run for the coming weeks is a little different than regular
school hours. We will have a “live” time online on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays from 1:30-2 in my Phys. Ed. Discord channel. Here I will share
expectations and requirements for the week and answer any questions students
may have. There are two requirements for the students to complete throughout
the week. These requirements include some physical activity and a health
activity.
For the physical
portion, each morning on Discord and on the classroom blog I will post a
physical activity challenge. It will be something simple and I will do my best
to show the students exactly what I want them to do. Students will need to
record themselves completing the challenge and send it to me either on Discord
or by email (if they have a YouTube channel they can upload it to YouTube and
send me the link). To go along with this challenge I have also attached a
tracker for students to keep track of their physical activity. Students are
expected to be active for at least 30 minutes a day. This can be done at
separate times throughout the day or all at once. The activity challenge I post
can be a part of it but it will not be long enough to cover the full 30
minutes, so students will need to choose their own activity to fill the rest of
their time. Once they record their activity on the calendar it will need to be
signed by a parent or guardian. At the end of the week, students will take a
picture or scan a copy of their completed weekly calendar with signatures, and
send it to me by email to prove they have been active every day! So, go out and
be active, but remember to continue practicing your social distancing and
healthy habits!
For the Health
portion, students will be given a task on Monday that needs to be worked on
throughout the week and submitted on Friday. I will explain the task, work
through questions and give examples during my live online time in my Discord
classroom on Mondays from 1:30-2. I will also be available anytime from 9-3:45
on both Discord or by email to answer any questions students have or to give
support. I will give reminders about these tasks daily on the classroom morning
blog and on Discord, and I will be sharing my experiences through this time as
well. Our first weekly health task is outlined below. I will give further
details on Monday during our “class time.”
