Quote of the Day - Bringing a little inspiration to your day!
Take a look at what we accomplished today!
Congratulations to our Knowledgeable award winner for the month of October!
Inquiry into Math:
Today we continued to explore masses. We specifically focused on converting masses. Once we got the hang of this concept, we used our knowledge to solve word problems.
Our unit test is coming up on Thursday, November 7th. We will begin our review sessions on Monday, November 4th.
A message from Caribou Math:
The next Caribou Contest takes place on Wednesday, November 13th, 2019. Participants are to arrive at 7:15 am for a 7:30 am start. Bring a charged device, preferably a laptop, iPad or Tablet. You have one hour to write the test.
This month’s test includes an interactive question. The interactive question will differ by grade: Tangram for Grades 2 to 4, Chomp for Grades 5 to 10, and finally a GeomeTree construction involving triangles for Grades 11/12. You can practice these now on Caribou’s Games page. Let Caribou know if you have any problems with the games.
Caribou strongly recommends familiarizing yourselves with these games before the contest. Because certain games pages can be used to solve the questions, these will be blocked from Tuesday morning, November 12th, (start of the contest in the far East) to Thursday evening, November 15th at 8 pm EST.
For Grades 3 to 12, there will be a history question about Emmy Noether. Students in these grades should read the relevant section of Caribou’s History page in your preferred language to prepare.

Inquiry into Language:
Today we worte our spelling lesson 8 test. If your child has any misspelled words please have them correct each word 10 times each.
Unit of Inquiry:
Working on our Science Fair projects!
To allow students some extra time, I am allowing them to work on some of their experiments at home. Students are to take pictures, or videos of their trials and should record their observations to gather data for their science fair project. Students should complete their project independently, but should have parent/adult supervision.
